Full-time RV travels in the United States and Canada
Save on camping without a membership with Camp Half Price
|
June 1-15, 2006 We had a real early start this morning. We are going to Kalamazoo, MI to our home park-American Campground. We have to go for new photo ID's and I am sure they will have some type of promotion going on. They usually combine the two. We were across the Bluewater Bridge and heading west, shortly after sunrise. We plan on doing the round trip in one day. It will be a long day because it is over 500 miles round trip. It will go faster because we are driving the car. We got to the office for American Campground early, so they put us into another room where the coffee was and let us cool our heels for awhile. We could here the rumbling of voices in the other room. We wonder how much this is going to cost us 8). Soon it was our turn and we were right, there was a promotion going on. They were offering us lifetime membership and no more home park fees, ever. It was a fair price and we plan on using our memberships for a long time yet. Beside we haven't paid our homepark fee of $280.00 this year yet (not due until Sept.) so we would be applying that amount towards the lifetime membership. They didn't have to twist our arm to hard on that one. We are now lifetime members. The good part of being member here is we can leave our membership to whoever we want to, in our will, or we can sell it, when we don't want it anymore. We were back home in Sombra, before dark, but we were very tired. It was a long day behind the wheel. I had drove both ways because Doug still don't have the cataract removed from his left eye. Next week he won't have that excuse for not driving. I wonder what he will come up with then for an excuse. He has become to like sitting back, being the tourist, while I drive. He is seeing all kinds of things he hadn't bothered to look at before. He likes it. 8) We relaxed over the weekend and then I am back to work on Monday and Tuesday. Doug enjoyed visiting his sister and friends while I worked. He was there to pick me up and bring me home at the end of the day. I enjoyed visiting with my old co-workers and getting some accounts taken care of, that needed attention. June 9th we have to be in Windsor at 6:30 a.m. We will be up before the birds. It is a 2 hour drive from here. Doug has to be at the hospital early for the cataract operation at 8:30 a.m. We will make it, we always do. We made it and they admitted him. I then went and had a coffee and muffin. After my breakfast, I went back to the waiting room. They were calling me into the recovery room shortly after I returned. I am glad that I didn't take any longer, or they would have been paging me over the hospital PA. That was really quick. Doug wasn't as groggy this time either. I didn't get my chuckle from him eating the digestive cookies this time. It is a real relief to have both cataracts behind us. We have to be back in Windsor Saturday morning for a check of the eye, then he will be okay until his appointment in July. We will have to put the drops in his eyes three times a day for a week, then twice a day for a week, but that is no problem, as long as he can see. Dr. Curran is an excellent Ophthalmologist. Sunday we relaxed. We were still recovering from the early morning trips to Windsor. Monday and Tuesday I was back at work and Doug did his own thing. He does like to visit. He doesn't like staying here at home without me being here. I don't know why. I, on the otherhand, enjoy the odd day to myself. Wednesday and Thursday I went for my morning walk and enjoyed having internet 24/7. I have a lot of catching up to do. There was numerous journals I read on a daily basis, and now that I have the net again, I can once again enjoy reading the journals and blogs. What would we do without internet and computers 8)
