Yesterday we met a couple, Barb and Ron Smith, at the East Point Lighthouse that were from Vancouver - we had a very long conversation with them about our trips and adventures. They are heading out today to Newfoundland for a month. Then they are going down the east coast of the United States and staying the winter in Florida. They will not be back home for 10 months! Wow what a trip they will be having. We are sharing blogs and when we go to Alaska Barb told us to contact them for some tips. Very nice people. I hope they have a wonderful time in Newfoundland. We are not going to have time on this trip to go to Newfoundland. We have met so many people that have told us you need at least two to three weeks to properly see the island. So we are planning to do that next summer or the summer after that. We plan to fly there and rent an RV and do the tour. The only sad part is that the icebergs are apparently awesome this year and they may not be when we can go. Hmmm.
We packed up this morning heading for our new campsite near the Confederation Bridge. Not far really but the road in and out of this one is so rough and steep if it rains we could be in trouble. There is a KOA that has a special on and we are going there - besides as usual I need to do laundry.
As we are driving along we remark on how well manicured the lawns and yards are here on the Island. It almost looks like everyone mows their lawn on the same day. Maybe they all have wonderful landscapers and caretakers like we do. I bet our lawn and gardens look just as good or better than theirs thanks to our caretakers, Robin and Maggie!!
My husband is on the hunt for a screened in shelter for me so I can sit outside and enjoy the outdoors without getting sick with bites! And he was successful at Target in Charlottetown. So I can hardly wait until we get to our site to set it up.
We passed an RV wash so we turned around and Dan went into find out the scoop. Apparently they wash it and you pick it up when done. Dan has been looking for a wash for a long time as he wants to get the bugs off, so we left the unit there to be washed. It seemed very appropriate as it was called "Jacks" and that is his brothers name.
While that was happening we went off to "Mary's Cornwall Bakery" to find cinnamon buns that are proclaimed to be fantastic. After we picked some of those up we went for lunch at "Deckers". This place has a special - homemade hamburger with all the fixings, fries and a drink for $5.99 - you can't go wrong there. So we had our lunch - only 1 pm so not too far off the lunch time.
The Moho was ready so we headed out to our next stop. We arrived at the KOA at about 3:00 pm and got set up. Off to do the laundry and I come back and what a wonderful surprise this is.
My bug free palace - fit for a Princess. Oh that's the princess there in the red chair! Awesome, now I can relax outside potentially bug free!!! Thanks Dan - you are awesome. It was advertised as a One Minute Set Up but it took much longer than a minute Dan said. Maybe one minute if you had 6 helpers Dan said, but none the less it is my salvation. Thanks!!!
Laundry done, time to relax before getting supper together. Tomorrow is another day.
