Passport Rally , Crestview , Florida

Passport First Annual Rally and Sharon and I were there !!!!!!!!For those of you that aren't familiar with Passport of America , its a club for frequent campers . By joining and paying a yearly fee around $35.00 you get 1/2 price camping at select campgrounds through out the USA and Canada . We've used it a few times this winter and saved at least $200.00 ,so its worth the yearly fee..........
We arrived a day early so to beat the crowd and so did 90 % of everyone else ......smart folks these retired are........We were packed in close ....no awnings where able to open.... we where that close ...in fact close enough to almost knock on the neighbours window and borrow sugar.........
The purpose of rallies are to meet other campers and have fun and we did......Leo and JoAnn Wathen were right next door and from Michigan.....Leo was a retired plumber so right away we had a lot to talk about.......They are members of another camper club for RVer's called Family Motor Coach Association (FMCA ) ....we are now joining that club now also ......









There was entertainment every day .....some plan and some not planed........here a real surprise ...yes that's right" ELVIS " showed up.....












The town of Crestview , Florida , had a festival that same weekend ...so we went to that with Leo and Jo Anne and the Perrys ....no not our friends from home Jim and Shirley ....but our new friends "JIM " and Sandy Perry . ......










here are some shots from the towns festival ........
















One night we had karaoke and Sandy Perry sang a beautiful song wonderfully ....









Then there was The Sweeney Family Band ... a group of three guys that played and sang and joked around ....fun fun fun .........


It was a great first Rally for Sharon and I ........we met some good people and we always learn something from everyone we meet.......there was four days of fast moving thing going on......and I was tired after it was over ........we head to Georgia for a few days of rest and then to a campground in S. Carolina .....

  1. What an unexpected delight it was to meet Paul and Sharon at the Rally! They made it even more fun. We'll be following your blog as you continue on your adventure. Happy trails and arrive safe at the end of each day. Hope we meet up with you again somewhere....Sandy & Jim (the Other Perrys!)

  2. You always make me feel like I am right there with you having fun! (Boy do I wish I were!!!) Rest up in Georgia and then be careful going to S. Carolina. Keep blogging!!

  3. Some of the biggest riches in our golden years are the friends and relationships we create and nurture. You're discovering that... Be well and we're anxious to see you back in the Rochester area...Love, Earl
