Settling in nicely here in Titusville..

We've been in Florida for ten days now and are settling in nicely.  Our site is the same one we had last year, but we parked "face out" rather than "face in", and it's a much nicer arrangement for privacy and livability.  Last week we attended a concert in Melbourne; this weekend it's a play at the Titusville Playhouse downtown....and we're getting in a lot of relaxing and reading.

We arrived in Titusville Fl on January 2nd, 2012

So, we left Preston on December 30^th for our trek to Florida and arrived here on January 2^nd.  We were scheduled to arrive on January 1^st, but we had some mechanical issues that forced us to stay on the road for an additional day.  Long story short is we had multiple tire blow-outs, a result of an inside duel that blew and we didn’t realize it thinking it was a truck backfiring as it passed us. This blown inside duel did not affect the handling in any way….there was no vibrations or shimmy’s and a cursory inspection after the loud bang did not reveal any issues.  From there it all went downhill, that’s my story and I’m sticking to itJ.

We’re not ensconced at our wonderful campsite at Manatee Hammock in Titusville.  It’s “chilly” but about to get warmer in the next week or so, so we’ll be taking our time setting up camp and unwinding from the travel-down adventures.
