Wednesday
Dawned bright and sunny, and after breakfast Susan and Lillian took us to The Local Tax Collectors office to change the titles on the RV and Motorcycle. They certainly could teach our council operatives a thing or two. Exactly 40 minutes after "clocking in" we walked out with the new titles and registration plates, admittedly slightly lighter in the pocket, but everything was complete and above board.Screwed the plates on the RV, did the pre-flight checks, and Jane drove it back to Orlando with me behind in the rental as rearguard. Doesn't sound a very exciting day, but to us it was and we did cover about 100 miles. Tomorrow looks like another good one as we take the RV up towards Daytona to pick up the trailer.

Tuesday
Got up this morning, had a shave, did Times crossword, had another shave!!!! (Courtesy of The Scaffold) Seriously though............Had a swim before breakfast, pool quite cool at 65F. This is the big day to meet Janes cousin in Apollo Beach, the one who has been gathering in the mail and large toys, but on the way we stopped off at Winter Haven to meet up with my old buddy Eric and his wife Margaret. It was good to rabbit again and she provided us with a super lunch. We then carried on the 70 miles to Apollo Beach, near Tampa, where we recieved the most amazing hospitality and set eyes on the RV for the first time. All the expectations we had have been fulfilled, it is exactly as described and will fit the bill admirably. The evening passed quickly with good food and consumption of various liquid refreshments.
