We left South Miami on Monday morning and fought the morning rush hour for about 45 minutes until we cleared the traffic. We arrived in Orlando at the Fort Summit KOA at about 3PM. After settling in we drove around for a bit and had supper at the Cracker Barrel. We also timed the drive from the KOA to Champion's Gate Resort Hotel where the American Brush Manufacturers Assoc. Convention is being held.
Tuesday morning we got up early and teed off at the Highlands Reserve Golf Course at 8:30 AM. A great day for golf but a horrible golf game for both of us -- I don't EVEN want to share our scores! We barely had time to stop at the grocery store, grab some lunch and then John drove to the Orlando Airport to pick up RJ and Lisa. They stayed in a KOA Kabin one night and will move to the Omni for the convention today.
We had a great camping dinner (grilled hamburgers and baked beans) and I enjoyed visiting with them. Its been good to see someone from home -- especially family!! I'm really getting homesick -- so this helps a lot!!
Today (Wed.) we will have a lazy morning and then John and RJ have meetings. Tonight we will attend the opening cocktail party and connect with all the friends we have made thru years of attending the this convention.
We are camped here until we head to Oklahoma.
