From Georgia to Florida

Well we had a great time at the Family Motor Coach Association Rally in Perry Georgia and now we are on our way to the Freightliner Chassis Owners Club Rally at Lazy Days near Tampa Florida.

There were a total of 3,297 coaches at the FMCA rally, including the exhibitor coaches and all of the attendees. That was a pretty nice turn out in these economic times, but the fuel prices being low was a great help I am sure.

We volunteered for early security at the rally, that was very nice, we arrived 2 days earlier and were able to park closer to the exhibits and seminars, so that was nice and we worked our security shifts prior to the start day of the rally.

We attended all of the seminars we wanted, and visited all of the vendor booths. We saw a lot of people we had met at some of the other rallies we have attended, and we met some new people too.

FCOC had a rally scheduled in Florida and we had not planned to attend, but since we were all so busy at the FMCA rally, we decided to go to this rally also. We will have more time to visit with some of our friends there in Florida as this is a much smaller group. We attended one of these rallies in Illinois last year and we had a great time, so I am sure that we will enjoy this one too.

We have an appointment on April 7th in Gaffney SC for an oil change and lube for our motor home, so will have more than enough time to get there. Then we have friends we plan to visit in North Carolina.
