Still here, still doing more of the same. We've called ahead to Destin, Florida to make reservations and were quoted a price of $139 per night from one RV Resort... for the enjoyment of sleeping in our own bed and doing our own room service!?? Right!?? We've decided to cool our jets here until Tuesday and then venture on down the road to a more reasonable place.
Bruce had another lucky day with fishing. He actually caught one sea trout and one red fish on two separate poles, at the same time. He said that it took a little maneuvering, holding one pole between his legs as he reeled the other one in. He measured each fish to make certain that they were legal. Unfortunately he didn't have knowledge of the minimum length for a red fish. It measured 19 1/2 inches and he thought the minimum was 20 inches, so he released it. He then called me on the walkie talkie to look at the fish ruler and tell him what the red fish minimum length was. I told him that it was 18 inches...the one released was a keeper! Oh well, one trout for the two of us, is more than enough for a meal!
Rain is predicted for tomorrow, so we've been weatherizing our campsite. Our awning would be great protection, but when the wind kicks up, there's too much stress on the support legs and it's necessary to collapse it. Which means that the three of us are inside our cozy quarters, doing inside things. Thankfully when sand gets wet, the rain water disappears quickly making it much easier to manage then mud!
We'll be joining some fellow campers for church service tomorrow in town, maybe grab some lunch and Bruce has volunteered to do laundry as my Mother's Day gift! Sounds like a perfect day to get into a book that Kimberly gave me to read, Tales of a Female Nomad.

Hello there Gants on the Go!
Everyone who reads this is no doubt drooling with envy over you and your fabulous trip of a lifetime. It sounds absolutely heavenly! I'm enjoying reading your blog and learning about the places you're visiting, many of which seem to be off the beaten path. Your stream of consciousness writing is very enjoyable too---obviously you're mulling over some of life's big questions, and this is certainly something I can relate to. Reading your blog is a good reminder to live in the moment! We miss you in South Florida....
Love,
Debra
