Holiday Newsletter 2005
Greetings!
Hope you are all well and happy. We are! We have corresponded with many of you by e-mail so we’ll try to keep this
short - well, of reasonable length anyway.
This missive is coming from Lion Country Safari KOA campground. We are spending the holidays with our moms and siblings
who all reside within 25 miles of each other in Palm Beach County, Florida. How lucky are we!
As of November 18th, Paul is a graduate of RVSA (Recreational Vehicle Service Academy); he also passed all parts
of his RV Tech certification exams and the EPA air conditioning refrigerant exams. This all means that he is, theoretically,
qualified to do service and repair work on all kinds of RVs. So what does an RV tech need? Tools? Well, yes, lots of those.
A tool box? Definitely, and not just any tool box, but one or two of those big rolling boxes. We are driving to Tallahassee
for Christmas Eve with Rachel and to pick up tool boxes (from a previous life) stored in the warehouse. Okay, one more thing
- a truck? Oh, yeah! Since ‘truck’ needs to be a ‘toad’ we did our research and found a 2006 Chevy
Colorado 4X4 automatic crew cab, silver birch metallic with dark pewter interior that will look just fine next to ARV. Within
a week Paul installed a diamond plate tool box and a tonneau cover. Now we’re waiting for towing base plates to be made
so truck can follow ARV.
We will be spending the winter at Royal Coachman RV Resort in Nokomis, Florida. Regina will be enjoying the many activities
at the resort while Paul spends his days working at RV World Inc., just three miles away. He is looking forward to putting
his new found knowledge to work and learning more on the job. The plan is to get back on the road in June, 2006.
Rachel is doing well at her office for Chinese medicine, acupuncture and massage in Tallahassee. She is busy but is always
looking for more clients to fill her days. Besides keeping the office open, Rachel is looking for land east of Tallahassee
with water rights and open spaces for Buddy and TieDye.
We are continuing to enjoy every fun-filled and adventurous day. Hope your holidays are joyful and the new year is filled
with happiness.
Sincerely,
Paul and Regina
