It's Monday morning & we're now at the Monaco service Centre in Wildwood Florida. This is one of 4 facilities that Monaco maintains around the US to provide service for their coaches. As I mentioned in my last post, we are here to have some work done on our windshield. The service writer told us this morning that it is a 3 hour job & that barring any unforeseen delays we should be on our way no later than Thursday morning ... we'll see! After the work has been done on the windshield the coach has to sit virtually motionless for 24 hours in order for the sealant to set up. That means that we can't move it & we can't put the slides out, so we're thinking that we might have to get a hotel room for one night. Anyway it will be worth it to get the windshield fixed & be on our way. The plan now will to be to motor from here to Phoenix & then I'll fly up to Vancouver (for the pilot retirement party), from there. It will be a lot less hassle to fly from Phoenix than from Tampa, especially since it's American Thanksgiving next weekend.
The plus side of all of this is that we've had a week of relaxing in the Florida sunshine. It is so nice to get up each morning (in November), to sunshine & warm temps, put on a pair of shorts & know that it will be nice all day. We have "explored" around the area & have visited some interesting places. A lot of this area is set up for retirement living & some of the developments are VERY NICE.
Will try & get some pictures in for the next post.

Hey Brian and Judy,
Finally managed to sit down and read your blog; its unreal! The sunshine and warm weather seems great right now, we cant wait to get to Nambucca for our break in February.
You guys must be looking forward to seeing Aaron and the newly arrived Katrina, hope to get down there to see him in the new year. It sounds ideal down there, a mini sydney without all the hassles of big city life.
Have four kids today as we're mining Jodies sisters kids for the day! Its been 10 minutes and already we're thinking at stopping with one! Hope you got the coach fixed and its back on the road. Will you guys be in Phoenix for the whole winter?
Take care.
Scott
