J+J Sunshades

We both enjoyed a nice relaxing swim at the Orlando preserve this morning. We used the family pool this time and found it to be much cooler than the adult pool we swam in last week. Cooler temps was certainly better for swimming laps. Little hot tub afterwards and we were ready to move on.

We headed off to Lake Wales after our swim which is about 35 miles south on Hwy 27. We have found that the sunshade we bought from J+J is a bit too wide for it to roll up easily inside the awning. In fact, it is wide enough to prevent the awning from fully retracting into its casing on the side of the motorhome. I had called Gary previously about getting 6"-8" taken off one side and he said that would be no problem. We arrived just after noon and dropped the two piece sunshade off with him while we grabbed some lunch. An hour later, we were on our way back to Orlando with our newly altered sunshade. Excellent service Gary, thank you.

Fuel prices are going up again it seems. When we arrived in Florida in November, we were getting gas for around $3.00/gallon and diesel for about $3.20/gallon. Now gas is going for $3.20/gallon and we have seen diesel as high as $3.75/gallon. A barrel of oil is $102.00. One wonders where it will all end. Prices never seem to go down any. Everything just keeps getting more expensive.

We were home by 2 pm and managed to get an hour of pickle ball in before the skies opened up again. Good games nonetheless.

Tomorrow, we are headed off to Lazydays to have some warranty done. I called them yesterday morning and was assured all required parts are in stock. We are hoping to be back at Thousand Trails Orlando by Friday afternoon if all goes well.

Some of the gang we met in London, Ontario at Fanshawe Conservation Area last summer are wintering in a campground very near Lazydays. We may be able to see them if they aren't touring about somewhere.
