•We were sorry to say goodbye to our Florida Family but are so looking forward to next season when hopefully Lee and I will be full fledged Snowbirds.
Lee and I had been compiling a list of items to be repaired/serviced at Red Bay since our last visit to Alabama. Upon the advice of our neighbors who left for Red Bay before us, we made sure to arrive sometime on a Saturday in order to get a full hookup site. I packed the coach up with enough food for about 10 days and with an equal amount of alcohol since we would be in a dry county. I am literally a seasoned veteran now that I have learned the proper preparation procedures for a trip like this!!!!
So off we went on Friday and when we arrived, we were lucky to get one of the two remaining full hookup sites(thanks Dan and Dee). Now the waiting process began. We could only be patient and hope that our number in the rotation would not keep us there for a couple of weeks. Since we had enough personal and business work to keep us busy, we were glad to have a few days at least to focus on that.
One of the many things we have come to appreciate about the people of Red Bay is that they are the most hardworking, polite and caring people. Their work ethic is so strong as well as their family values. I think that the expression, “there is no stress in Red Bay” could be a mantra. Everyone takes everything in stride. When asking some of the older gentlemen how they were doing on a particular day, the responses are so funny but true. One man said that he was happy to be above the grass than below. Another remarked that it was good to be seen than not be seen. The simplicity was very humbling. More of us should take a lesson from this.
It was a pleasure doing business with the Tiffin company’s service department. All our concerns were addressed for now and as we said good bye again, we were going to slowly work our way home; taking our time and smelling the roses. There is no stress in our motorcoach!!!!!!!!!!
