March 14 – 2018 Fort Lauderdale, Florida


When we left Denmark, we didn’t realize how long our flight to Florida would be. It takes about 9 hours to Minnesota, and 6 to New York City, so we thought it would be a 6-7 hour flight. When we got into the plane, and started figuring out the time difference, we realized that the flight would be 10 hours and 20 minutes. Neither of us had ever been on a flight that was that long! Old bones (and smokers) don’t do well on long flights
But we made it, and are back in the USA now! (Well, JJ almost didn’t make it in!!!! The immigrations officer (paskontrol) didn’t like the idea of JJ spending more time in the US than in Denmark during a 12-month period. We guess he had heard, that Denmark don’t send their best to the US!!!! But he decided that we didn’t look like too much of a threat (alt for farlige)😊 So I didn’t have to do this leg of the trip on my own😊😊)

The car and camper were fine, when we got to the storage site. (We didn’t know what to except after 3 months.) The only problem was that the battery on the car was dead. We got someone to help us jump it. After that, everything went as well as hoped.

Today we spent time cleaning the car and camper, buying food and other supplies, and planning the next few days.
AND taking a nap – after our long flight. We are “on the road again” tomorrow.

Here is a picture of our “view” at the campground.
Definitely not the prettiest we have had. But it was convenient
to be able to move directly from storage to a camp site
 yesterday (about 200 yards/meters).
