Universal May 12 - 13

May 12, Sunday...Mothers Day.  It turned out that the office had electricity because they are on a different transformer then the campground.  So they said to come on down...which I did.  I had Chicken Fried Steak and watch a wonderful country band of 4 performers and it was really super good.  Stayed there for 2 hours listening and by the time I left the campground electricity was back on.  

Started out for Fair Harbor RV Campground in Perry, Georgia.  Had to go through Atlanta and stupid me, I was thinking that since it was Mothers Day that the traffic would not be too bad....well, guess I don't know much because the traffic was terrible.  Most of Atlanta was stop and go....and when I finally got through Atlanta it turned out there were two more 'red' areas that I had to get through and it took a lot of time, but then I was not in a hurry anyhow.  Finally got to the Fair Harbor RV Campground and it is really nice.  They even have cable TV, so getting the HDMI was not really doing me any good.... Oh well have to take the good with he bad.  

May 13, Monday.  Had a great night and they had cable TV which I was able to plug into.  Ended up watching a old movie....Mrs Doubtfire....I think Robin Williams is the only guy able to make that movie....don't think there will be any remakes which will be as good.  I got going early this morning.  Having to get use to the time change.....  It was really an 'exciting' day as I had some fun with some thunderstorms after I got into Florida.  Some of the storms were so heavy that the traffic slowed down to about 45 mph and I put on my flashers because there are still some crazy drivers out there.  In fact saw a couple of accidents on the North bound lanes.  Got to the rest area just in time for lunch and sat through another thunderstorm.  Love being able to get out of the driver's seat and get into the coach without getting wet.  So it was getting a little warm and I started the generator so I could start the AC and use the microwave to cook a hot dog.  Had a great lunch and the rain stop so I took off again.....only to run into the really bad storm.....fun?????.....I know what they mean when they say 'white knuckle driving'.  But, by the Grace of God I did get to the campground and it is really great.  Yes, that is a lake....


Took a trip on my scooter to explore, but didn't get all the way to the Kuppler's hotel.  Will try it in the morning....weather permitting.  Had hoped to make the trip before having to do it for real, but will probably make it without the practice. I didn't have much to do this afternoon because of the rain, so I tried my HDMI cord that I bought couple of days ago and it worked great.....so I watched another movie before the sun came out.
