Florida "noseeums" distress
This may be an unusual inquiry, but perhaps someone can provide some advice. We are finishing a three week stay on Pine Island in Florida. My wife is allergic to the noseeum bites and she has been bitten many times while we have been here. We are scheduled to leave here Sunday and go to Okeechobee for a week, and then on to St. Augustine. If the the bugs are just as bad in those places we are going to cancel outer plans and head home to Michigan on Sunday. Does anyone know whether or not these bugs are as bad in the rest of Florida as there are Here? Any advice would be greatly appreciated.9.5KViews0likes36Comments
$199 Monthly Special
Winter Texan numbers have been down this year in the Rio Grande Valley. A number of RV Parks are running a special, $199 for a month if you are a first time customer. The park I am at is part of Encore and is running this special. Gas here is $1.43 a gal. Diesel is $1.75. With the price of fuel and lot rents so cheap even the Canadian Loonie is going a long way here. If you have been on the fence about leaving home now is the time to come.11KViews0likes41Comments
Displaced Florida Snowbirds Room Here
If your RV Park will be shut down this winter due to hurricane damage we have 1000's of available RV sites still available here in the Rio Grande Valley of Texas. You will be treated like long time friends and the cost will likely be significantly less than Florida. Come and stay the season or make this your new Winter Destination. You may have to give up your Snowbird designation and become Winter Texans but heck, give it a try. Most of you will be glad you did. To all of you in Florida who have lost friends, property or your favorite Winter destination we are truly sad and sorry for your loss.

Just saw this company US Mobile announce an annual US & Canada data plan for $65. It gives 35Gb data for a year for $60. Not to be confused with their domestic US plans — you have to use their "Global by US Mobile" app to get the data. Not a bad deal considering I'm driving through Canada frequently - the data just works in both countries.758Views0likes1Comment
Flying J/Pilot oil
For the last twelve years going to Florida and back to Ontario {except for the last two winters, thank you covid/stupid Canadian goverment{ we have always fueled at Flying J/Pilot oil stations and stayed overnight however on the way down this fall we had a very bad experience with them as it apperars that the RV courtesy parking areas are filled with commercial trucks and other vehicles! On our last stop in Georgia we were told by the manager to park in the reserved area in back then after told to move eleswhere, after speaking to the owner, a very rude man I pointed out how the RV area was full of commercial vehicles and why aren't they told to park in back with the rest which he responded they really don't care and we were told we can stay put if we paid $18.00 so we did then moved on the next morning. Flying J really didn't have a response when I contacted them afterwards so I'm wondering if any other snowbirds have had a simular experience and have they a better solution? Thanks in advance!!!4.5KViews0likes18Comments
