1/31/17 Tuesday - Arrival

We took our time this morning at breakfast and got on the road a bit later than usual so as to not get in the commuter traffic on its way to Tampa.  We arrived at 102nd Avenue and could not find the house so I called our host and found that we were supposed to be on 102nd Street North.  It wasn't too awfully far away so we arrived about 10:30.  Our hosts are very nice and we are staying in their private backyard with a private entrance.  Our home for the next month is an RV with two lovely seating areas, a grill, a covered area with a washer and dryer and a pool right outside the door.  Everything is quite miniature inside so we will not be shopping for groceries once a week, but more often.  We emptied our suitcases, but had to put them back in the trunk of the car as there is nowhere to store them inside.  We had a light lunch of nuts and carrots and then made our way to the Habitat ReStore to say that we had arrived.  The good news is that it is only 6.7 miles to the ReStore from here, but the bad news is that Doug, the manager, was in a meeting so we didn't get to see him.  We left a message that we would start work tomorrow and made our way "home".  On the way, we stopped at a Publix supermarket for some supplies.  We picked up a roasted chicken and veggies for tonight.  Unfortunately, the RV has everything except an oven so we will have to make do without.  The temperature was in the 40's this morning when we left Ocala and it is now 75 - yeah!  We will relax for a while before dinner.  I am putting on some pix of our new place.  As you can see in the first photo, the pool is just steps from the door.
