Bella Terra or bust!

"Swan Lake" at Savannah KOA
Wow! We finally made it to Bella Terra.  We were chased down the coast by a fierce winter storm and experienced rare snow flurries in Savannah and Tallahassee!  But now we are here and although it's raining today, it is also in the 60's.  It feels great!   As the "driver" said, our trip here was pretty uneventful, which is what we were hoping for!  Thanks to the Webbs, we had a bit of Christmas in Rocky Mount just before they got a foot of snow...very rare...glad we missed it!  As an inexperienced "co-pilot" I reserved spots for us in KOA's  (Kampgrounds of America) in Rocky Mount, Myrtle Beach, Savannah and Tallahassee.  They were all pretty nice, but we especially liked our overnight in Savannah where we were invited to share a campfire with some really nice folks and learned alot about full-timing it.  It was very cold, but we enjoyed the lake with it's assorted waterfowl.  Our dogs were not impressed with the big birds...Poco Horn would have had a field day!  
Now, after almost two weeks in our Gus Bus,we have used everything but air conditioning...and it all works.  What is really wonderful was to use our heat pumps last night after relying on those noisy, propane-devouring furnaces.  But, we have been  cozy even in subfreezing weather!  Still feels like we're on vacation...some full-timers have told us that we will always feel this way...
