Hey Sandie - I had to look up Clewiston. We're thinking we might be close to Destin next week -- not sure. Our plans are very wishy-washy and we like it that way. Then, we're heading to Mexico Beach at least for the month of December and maybe January ... don't know (fellow Class of 2008-ers there). We hope to be in Orlando area sometime but in early 2010... maybe. Where are you heading in a month? Keep in touch even if you high-tail it out of Florida. Maybe we can meet up for dinner someplace. We're good at dinners. biggrin.gif (P.S. and your classmates too)



All - The common denominator with folks on this forum is that we all love RVing. We have something in common. And, we're all shy at times. I still say get involved with your Class (Class of 2009, 2008, 2007 ??) whatever and you'll have a support group for yourself. I think the smaller the class, smaller the group, the better because it gives you an opportunity to bond. Then, it's easier to spread out into the other groups. biggrin.gif And, of course, meet folks on the forum --- it's easier through your class.

Isn't this fun?

Welcome to the lifestyle! I find people are people where ever they live, always amazes we when you meet someone while walking or driving in a RV park and they either look straight ahead or turn away..... so obvious so they don't have to wave. Sometimes look right at you and not return a wave.

However most are friendly, if you show up where I am within minutes I'll be talking rigs or dogs or pickin and grinning. Once at a Nascar race, a friend remarked that I knew 50 people within 30 minutes.

It would be a boring world if we were all from the same mold I reckon. mellow.gif

tongue.gif Thanks for all the wonderful suggestions. We are very friendly people and wave and say morning so maybe it just takes a little time. We went to a second park function and we were welcomed but still no one came up to introduce themselves. So I volunteered to help at the next function as I figure this might be a way to get to know us. I must say the camp hosts are wonderful and we like it here. It's just going to take some time I think. But for any of you who read this that are at a park you go to year after year, "please" make a special effort to welcome the "new folks" and remember when you were new to all of this, and introduce them to your friends so they feel at ease. There are several more functions next week and hopefully people will feel more at comfortable with us around and warm up, we will, for certain, be friendly and open to conversations!! Thanks for all your help on the subject..... biggrin.gif

Sometimes I am in my "quiet zone" and I don't want to talk...doesn't make me unfriendly. And we never know what that person is dealing with on a particular day. But I find that at Socials, many are friendly. I have had some go waaay out of their way to make me comfortable.

Try putting up a sign, with your site number on it, and have it say "4:30, social/happy hour/pot luck..site #. I have done that, and lo and behold, the men start bringing over tables and chairs to set up, the women are carrying food and all I have to do is bring out the beverages. This is a GREAT way to introduce yourself to others.

Or you could try an Eliza Dolittle impersonation...."HOW do you do?" "How DO you do?" "How do YOU do?" "How do you DO?" They may think your are nuts, but at least you put yourself out there cool.gif

True, Joe. But I'll be getting it soon, I suspect. We will be down there in the next week or so. Leave here next Saturday. Expect to be in Summerdale on Sunday.
