I guess if it were not for the curse of work, we should all head to Canada in May, or so, and return to Florida in October.
 
That would be the life!
 
 
 

A lot of retired Canadians follow that schedule. We call them snowbirds. Winder in Florida Texas or Arizona and summer in Canada.

Congratulations! Wish we were heading out but instead we are winterizing. No time for camping in lovely September and we could have snow by the time we are ready to head out but we managed to spend 66 nights in our pod this season.
 
Enjoy!

Congratulations Bob and Joyce !!  Wish we could go with you down to Lazydays and camp out again.  We had a blast.  I'm sure you guys will have lots of fun and good times with the pups in the EscapePod.  You gotta change your days off so we can go camping together......]]> Fri, 31 Aug 2012 15:39:41 +0000 http://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=2885&PID=27345#27345 Well, I guess it's official- : Yes!

Yes!  Today was the day.
 
There were some time constraints for both us and the dealer that we mutually agreed to, so a very early am departure from Cedar Key to Tampa was called for.  Since we were basically pre-sold, a lot of the "jockying" was eliminated.  I took a quick tour of the R Pod that he had reserved for us, (it even had the upholstry that I would have chosen, given the choice!), then he was off for a meeting with his CEO, and I spent a few enjoyable minutes with the "closer", (another very personable gentleman), wrote a bigger check than I am accustomed to, and was back on the road to CK by 10:30.
 
Delivery is set up for mid-week, (requiring another trip to Tampa-  Ugh!), but the dealership is an RV City unto itself, and the delivery training will be totally worthwhile.
 
We plan a one night "shake down" to Manatee Springs which is just 40 minutes away, then 2 or 3 nighters as the work load allows.
 
Very exciting times....

We see the Pod  as an escape vehicle for two and three day get-aways with our two Cocker Spaniels, and intend to visit as many Florida State Parks as possible.
"Escape Pod"   Hmmmmm......   Certainly someone has come up with that nickname before us!

Good for you two - - we have a 177 also and most of our trips are 2-4 dayers and we have a 4 year old black lab. Love getting away and having all of the comforts of home. This past May we bought a Honda Generator and that has really added to our freedom and enjoyment.

  It only took one trip to Nationwide RV for a "look see" at a 171 and Mother Goose was hooked like a fish. I didn't think that she would ever get out in the woods as tents don't have bathrooms in them.   Goose  Big smile]]> Thu, 30 Aug 2012 23:38:50 +0000 http://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=2885&PID=27324#27324 Well, I guess it's official- : Bob, you hit the nail on the head.... http://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=2885&PID=27318#27318 Author: dsmiths

Bob, you hit the nail on the head. My wife Donna used to say "my idea of camping is to stay at a holiday inn with a holidome" then we saw a pod going down the road with a couple about our age (early 60's) we looked at some and bought a 172, she can't wait to get out in the woods, heck I been trying to get her there for years, we walk, fish, cookout, nap a little and stay active and cant wait for more. good times are heading your way. ]]> Thu, 30 Aug 2012 22:25:09 +0000 http://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=2885&PID=27318#27318 Well, I guess it's official- : Welcome!
