We packed up and headed north from Naples on Monday. Destination - Tampa!
Our travels took us up I-75 and across the Sunshine Skyway Bridge. We've traveled the bridge numerous times, but never in a motorhome!

We were looking forward to this stop on the "Cocktails at the Coach" Tour because we were bringing the motorhome home! And all the neighbors were very anxious to see the latest addition.
We pulled into the 'hood without incident. Had just a few hours to get provisions and set up things before the neighbors arrived.
Because the road wasn't level we weren't comfortable opening the slides. So it made for no-more-than-two-people at a time tour.
Everyone submitted their entry for the "Name the Coach" contest and we all got a chance to catch up.
We didn't want to keep the coach parked in the street overnight so after the driveway party we took it to a campground about 5 miles away.
Our driving school tips and tricks came in handy! We had to back the coach into the spot, IN THE DARK. But Frank did a great job and put it in the spot just like we were taught! (Thanks Barney!)
The shakedown trip was a success and we have a list of things that need to be fixed. All in all, it was good.
The last step....get it from Tampa to Jupiter and we will have been full-circle.
Still accepting entries for the "Name the Coach" contest. Send them to leannmooretpa (at) aol (dot) com.
