It always takes some adjustment when leaving the comforts of a permanent home and this time was no different. After leaving our friends Ivan and Judith in Sarasota we made our bed at the Quail Roost Rv Park where almost everyone was full time. The people were very friendly and to Joanne’s delight the bathhouses were immaculate. One of the staff people even took care of Apollo while we went kayaking on the Rainbow River. There were plenty of things to explore in the area so we stayed three nights.
