Some of the spirit in our life comes from the people we meet and friendships we make RVing as members of the Newmar Kountry Klub. That has been even more evident to us this winter when we purchased an RV lot and suite at the Florida Grand in Webster, Florida.
While we aren’t retired, we knew a lot of our snowbird NKK friends migrated to Florida for the winter. We have been in Webster, Florida, since early December, and the network of NKK members in Florida is fantastic! We have had the chance to talk with and visit many NKK friends, and they are some of the best people you could ever spend time with.
A funny story about this. We were sitting out by the fireplace enjoying a 75-degree sunny day and my cell phone rang. Out of the blue, it was Gaston & Monique, our Canadian NKK friends we had met only once before at a rally over two years ago in MA. As Facebook friends, they have been following our travels, and we theirs. Turns out they were in their Newmar coach at a campground one mile from us, and they wanted to come by and visit and see our new spot. We visited the next day and spent 1.5 hours laughing and catching up.
We also had the opportunity to attend the Tampa Super Show NKK International Rally. What a great time, and it was wonderful to see so many people we have met traveling across the country. Thanks goes to all the NKK volunteers for their efforts and for the COVID safety precautions put in place. We felt very safe and comfortable, both attending the show on the slower days, as well as attending the rally.
