Depart
Carnival Sunshine, Drive to Travelers Rest Resort
Dade
City, Florida
70
F, Sunny
Our
disembarkation went smoothly this morning although our luggage was in two
different places. Fortunately the porter knew about the 2nd place
and our luggage was easy to spot with its glittery turquoise ribbons. Of course we each had
three pieces plus my laptop bag and TK’s backpack. After all, we were aboard
ship for 13 days. Yesterday when we were packing for departure I could not
believe how hard it was to cram everything into those darn three bags. That
does it. From now on I am only buying jewelry! What makes anyone think we will
pack less??
By
10 a.m. we were on the road to TRR in Dade City, about a 2 ½ hour drive. We
adore Mary Lou and Scorchy who always make us comfortable. I have written many
times in previous blogs about Travelers Rest Resort. Look at https://www.travelersrestresort.com/
and you will find this description. “Nestled among the rolling hills of central
Florida citrus country is a piece of paradise, an emerald oasis teeming with
activity and restful excitement. Whether you are looking for a nice place to
park your existing RV, or for something more permanent, our cozy community is
just the place for you! Resort Living at an affordable price!”
We
can surely attest to that description. Over many years we have made friends with
Mary Lou and Scorchy’s friends here—working with the TRR Garden Club, attending
genealogy seminars, health presentations, breakfast coffee meetings, golfing
(TK), weekly picnics, garage sales, professional shows, fashion shows, and
more. It is a friendly community here! We have even
considered buying a property here, but we have never made that plunge. Zephyr
Hills (super shopping), Tarpon Springs (Greek food, quaint shops), Brooksville
(antique shops), Dade City (history), the area is full of adventures nearby. Mary Lou has already planned a trip with the
TRR Garden Club for us to visit a Chihuly exhibit in St. Pete’s. I think we
will be busy this week!
