After 13 long months, we have a buyer! They are ready to move in---we close in 10 days! Today was the day to give 2 weeks notice at w*rk, get a storage place for some of our stuff, and make plans to drive south until we can buy stone crabs and key lime pie! Thanks to all for this great community.

WTG, congratulations! This is great news and what a nice way to start the week. I think that you will be pretty busy for the next few weeks.

Wow, only 10 days to close! That is scary. Should that happen when we put on market in about a month, we would have a whole lot of hussling to do. Good luck and congrats!

Wonderful news about selling the house.
Not to put a damper on your enthusiasm, but February is high, high season for southern Florida campgrounds and it is hard to get a campsite and you get to pay high dollar for them. By mid-march the availability goes up. We are in Fort Myers Beach right now.

Great news!!! Isn't it amazing how you wait and wait and then all of a sudden everything breaks loose?
As bjoyce says, it does get crowded down here in FL, but call around. Sometimes people cancel, or have to leave early. You'll find someplace to park that rig!

We had good luck at the Fort Myers Campground right in Fort Myers last year. They were $685/mo plus electric but I expect the price has gone up.

YAY!!! Congratulations!!! I know exactly how you're feeling. Everybody's right about how crowded FL gets in the winter. I lived there and saw it happen every year. We're not going back until mid-march where we can get into this Broward County park that we like but we won't stay long cuz it starts getting really hot by April.

After I sent the email we went up north to Venice for the afternoon. We came back via US41 (Tamiami Trail) and from just south of Punta Gorda to North Fort Myers we saw two campgrounds advertising they had openings but did not catch the names of the places. A couple more had signs saying "no vacancy" so not all of the campgrounds have vacancies. No ideas on pricing but there are possibilities for places to stay.

Kudos to you!! We're happy to hear your news!
If Sarasota is far enough south, try the Sun-N-Fun RV resort....nice, fun and warm too! They usually have a few openings!
Have a great time!

We are presently at Sun-N-Fun till April. We would suggest that you call for openings as there are always units coming and going. It is a very busy Resort and in a good area.
Congrats on the selling of your house and good luck in all of your furtue travels and journeys.

Congratulations to you! Wishing you many great times on your new adventures. Our home is still for sale. We're waiting patiently, and hearing your good news made us so happy for you, and gave us hope ! The KOA had openings on Big Pine Key near Key West when our friends just were searching. Key Lime Pie down in the Keys is one of our favorites. Good luck.
