Migration south

We have noticed more winter texans arriving here in Rockport, TX this past week! We have never been here this early (normally don't arrive until early Dec.). But the locals say they get here earlier every year. We did hear aboout some early snow/frost up north.

I was there last week, it has sure got tackier over the years. loved Niagara on the lake.

We started making our 2015 plans, by reserving "our" spot before we left Texas this spring.
Right now, we plan on taking off next week heading to Branson. Then West, across KS-CO to the Four Corners area.
Then a loop back thru Colorado & back home. Sometime late Oct.
Then head south for the winter mid-Dec.

FWIW, I know of one Canadian who comes down and buys a slide in camper and hauls it back in the spring to sell. Supposedly the profit pays for the winter. That's all I'm going to say on that, since I'm sure there is more to the story.

I just read last week how the US dollar is strong right now, it didn't even occur to me how quickly that might affect our snowbird neighbors to the north.

John & Joey, it all adds up quickly. We made a bank to bank transfer yesterday of $5,000 to cover our rent and such in San Benito, Texas. It cost $502.12 Can for the transfer.

We're Early Birds, leaving here on September 18th. There hasn't been much of a summer here anyhow. Bugs have been worse than normal too. We'll miss the fall colors but this could be oneof those years when it snows befor the leaves fall.
