thing we are considering buying is a satellite dish; another is a sleep number bed or mattress topper. Also, many resorts have booths and give away vouchers for free camping; we're always looking to score free camping at luxury motor coach resorts.The weather has warmed a bit, so it is nice walking around the fair grounds and enjoying the festive atmosphere. Near where we are parked is an open grassy area where we can play ball with Matilda. On the first afternoon, we met a couple with a senior blue merle Sheltie and a year old Sheltie who loved playing with Matilda. Any time Matilda finds a playmate it's a good camping spot. We are also parked near some full-timer TREK friends Pete and Jennie. These folks do very interesting volunteer work. They work with the Lipizzaner Stallions near Myakka City FL during the winter and with the elk in Cataloochee valley during the summer.
After comparing all the satellite dishes at the show we decided on portable Winegard model from Camping World that was on sale. We decided not to make the investment in a roof-top dome until we decide if we really enjoy DIRECTV and if we ever want to get HD. We didn't have any luck with mattresses or toppers. While visiting an RV with a huge TV in an outside bay, we saw the Hearthside Grove RV Resort's promotional video playing, featuring none other than the great adventurers Myron and Dorcas. As you may recall from an earlier post, the video was filmed while we were visiting that resort in Michigan last summer. This was our first opportunity to see the finished product. Unfortunately, there was no one near us at the moment to show it to and point out that we were celebrities. We were able to obtain our own copy of the DVD when we visited the Hearthside Grove booth later. Autographs anyone?
Next, we're off to Thousand Trails Orlando.
