Before having my coffee, I climb up on the roof & wipe the slide tops clean of heavy dew; then Kathy & I have our coffee & a Kathy muffin for breakfast, hook up our Suzuki & @ 9:30am, start heading north on U.S. 98, then northeast on State Road 26, then I-95 to the Sonrise Palms Christian RV Park in the town of Cocoa, FL.

Small campground but big rig friendly & quite nice; we were forewarned last week by the campground office that if they were full, they would offer us a site in the overflow area, and when a site opened up, it would be 1st come, 1st served. Sure enough, they were full when we arrived so, with Kathy's help, we avoided the tree limbs & other obstacles as we parked with only 30 amps electric & water for the night. I did ask if a few limbs could be trimmed so our # 1 slide could be extended but didn't bother extending # 4 slide due to other close tree branches. The overflow area was not designed for big rigs.
After setting up our home, K & I take a walk around the campground for curiosity & a little exercise.
Skype Ray in Ocean Park, WA; Ray looks good & sounds good. We have some high- quality talk for nearly an hr.
Dinner: leftover Italian Tuna casserole & broccoli.
We start watching the 81st Oscars from Hollywood, CA. @ 8:30pm; @10:20 pm, Nick Skypes & we use our split cord ear plugs so we can both see, hear & talk @ the same time. Jerry has a fever & was rather sluggish so most of our talk time was with Nick. He told us about his interesting meetings with oilmen last week in Houston, TX. Only (37) min tonight due to Jerry's condition.
We continue watching the Oscars having recorded the time we were on the phone.
Lights out: 12:55am
