The 1st day of the RV-Dreams Rally

Ken was awake for over 2 1/2 hours during the night. (I guess he was so excited for the Rally to begin).  He has wanted to attend one of their Rallies for several years, but it never coordinated with our schedules or it was not near PA.  When we were in Florida this past winter, Howard and Linda had posted that they were coming to the Hershey area in September and Ken signed up the 1st day he read about it while we were still in Florida.  So, he has been anticipating this for over 6 months.

After we ate breakfast, Ken and I decided to take a walk around the campground.  It really is a very nice area.  The sites are large and level and the CG is so spacious.  There are many amenities and most are in good repair.  They have numerous park models for rent that are furnished and adorable.  During our walk we stopped and chatted with Jean and George who are hoping to be full-timing in the very near future.  We spent 45 minutes talking with them and had such a good time.  When like minded RVer's start chatting there is so much to talk about. 

At noon we headed to the building where the Rally seminars and meals will be held to help with registration.  We assisted with set-up from noon to 1:30 and then from 2 to 5 we actually helped with the registration of the RVer's.  It was fun to talk with these folks and see their enthusiasm for the RVing lifestyle.  At 6 we all got together for a simple catered meal of pulled pork, one of my favorites, baked beans, potato salad, and corn on the cob. We ate across from Nancy and Neil, RVer's who live in East Petersburg, only about 15 minutes from our home in Akron.  They are getting ready to sell their home and live full-time in their RV.  They are so excited to follow their dream.  After dinner we had a get acquainted time, a video remembering 9/ll, and then a silly team challenge where we get to know even more of the attendees.  It was a fun evening.  Linda and Howard have a way of making the atmosphere light, informative, and fun all at the same time.  We know we will learn so much here, not only from Howard and Linda, but from all the RVer's.  Everyone has stories to tell!!!!

Tomorrow the seminars begin and new friendships will be created.  It is a great adventure!!!
