We arrived yesterday at the home of David West in Gainesville, Florida where we will call home for a couple of months with the exception of a week at Disney World.
We traveled just under 4000 miles in 17 days. We had planned on being on the road for about 30 days, but we cut out a large segment of Canada and a couple of other stops in North Carolina. If we had gone the full route we probably would have traveled 6,000 miles. We are glad we made the change, but we definitely will go back to Canada as we want to see Quebec and Nova Scotia. Probably do a tour.
In addition to see Canada and New England in the fall, we also wanted to look at some areas that we might consider for a winter home spot. We found none.
David's home is great and Bon is looking forward to having a kitchen for awhile and I found a nice spot to do some business.
Our Son Rich and his Gik met David West when they put up some posters to do clean-up work after a hurricane a few years ago. They had just arrived in Gainesville and Gik had started work on her Doctorate at U of F and Rich was attending Santa Fe College.
Since then they have become great friends and Rich has done a lot of carpetry work for David.
David is a retired (very young Retiree I might mention) Attorney who had worked for U of F, Had his Own Law Firm and various other ventures. He is a very interesting person. He has a wonderlust for travel and as I write this he is spending three months in Paris and other places. In fact, I just got an e-mail from him that he just returned from Morocco and I know in a couple of weeks he is off to Italy.
We are now officially Defending National Champion Florida Gator Fans and presently ranked #2 University of South Florida Bulls (Rich's University) Fans! Of course, we are still pulling for University of Minnesota and University of Arizona! I understand from my friend Dr. Bob in Tucson, that Arizona has had a couple of VERY CLOSE LOSSES!
