Home again!!!

Sharran and I left the Rio Grande Valley on Mar. 30 and spent a couple of weeks travelling home to Canada. Still a little snow around and our lake is still covered with ice...brrrr! It's great to go away but great to get home as well. I trust everyone else has had safe travels as well!!

Brrrr is right!

Glad you had a good ride home! Hope to see you next winter in the Rio Grande, if that is in your plans!

Congratulation on the completion of another chapter in your great adventure. Maybe next year I'll mosey down from Livingston, Texas or wherever I will be, to visit with you folks from the northern climes.

We got home Friday. Good to see the kids and grands again. Now I am ready to head back to TexAs. Too much work around here. Just kidding.

Your right about not posting very much! It's amazing how time seems to fly in the Valley! Didn't get much time to be on the computer and then spent three weeks travelling home with no net access. Now the work begins....ha! Thanks for noticing Steve!

Contau Lake, we've not yet met but I saw your post you'll be back in the Valley next winter. We have reservations in Mission for Jan/Feb so we'll get to meet you (and many others) then, if not before.

Great Sreigle, we will look forward to the get-to-gethers this coming winter. Hard to believe I just left there and am talking about going back already...ha!

There must be something very attractive at Bentsen Palm Village for everyone to be heading there. Maybe some of you folks who were there last year should clue the rest of us in!!!

I think we were among the first MOC-ers to book there. I was just surfing for campgrounds in the RGV and came across their website. It sounded attractive, so we booked there for a month to try it and stayed for two months. I can't speak for anyone else, but to us it was:

New
Spacious
Clean
Micely landscaped
Quiet (in the country but close to the city).
WiFi enabled
Reasonalbly priced
Dog friendly (has an exercise area with agility equipment and dog training available).
Seems to attract a slightly younger, more active group of people.
but for us the main attraction is the proximity to Bentsen Rio Grande State Park, the bird and butterfly centres, and the bike paths through the area.

It won't be to everyone's liking. It is smaller than many RGV parks, has fewer organized ativities, and a smallish swiming pool. Some parts were so new this past winter that the concrete was barely set, and the landscaping was still being planted.

It was mostly by chance that we ended up there, but we liked it and booked again for next year.

We've never been there but booked it on the recommendation of friends plus looking at their website. We are trying to spend each winter in a different area (warmer areas only!) of the country. We started fulltiming in March, 2003, so did our first winter in Jan/Feb 2004. There we were in Austin, TX, for a month, then Fredericksburg, TX, for a couple of weeks, then Big Bend National Park. This past Jan/Feb we were in the Savannah, GA, area. Next winter it's South Texas. The following winter will be somewhere else.
