We are set up at Outdoor Resorts of America at Port St. Lucie near the Atlantic coast. This is perhaps the ritziest place we have ever stayed. The sites normally run $70/night, but we are here on a coupon that allows us to stay 4 days and 3 nights at no charge. We would never pay that much to stay in a campground, even one this nice, so it seemed like a good opportunity. Best of all there is no mandatory sales presentation to attend. Internet access is an additional charge: $2.95/hour or $5.95/day. And that's for a crappy signal, at least it is at our site. If we were paying for the site I would be pissed about the internet charge. As it is I guess we will just have to vow to never come back here again. The resort encompasses an 18-hole golf course and most sites are designed to pull straight in and face the course, rather than back in, as is more common. It looks dangerous. I wonder what happens after a golf ball goes through the windshield.
This is a part of Florida unfamiliar to us. The NY Mets Spring Training Facility is just 1/4 mile down the road. Unfortunately their first game is Feb 29 and we are leaving Feb 24. Maybe we can catch some practice. We are looking forward to exploring the area. Perhaps we will hit some of the beaches. It was almost 80 degrees today, but it is spitting rain now and there is a chance of storms. Rains should diminish tomorrow and the temp is forecast to be 86 degrees.
