Ben enjoying a drive around Robert Moses State Park. We had an excellent weekend here watching to boats sail by.


Today we traveled to the Miami Everglades Resort, Also known as the Miami Everglades KOA when we fist started coming here over 15 years ago. Its a great camping area nestled in the middle of a agricultural area.
Things have certainly changed over the years. Take the WiFi for instance. When we first came here, WiFi was not even being used. You had to use one of 3 computers they had set up in Activity Hall. Next came the spotty and costly WiFi. Years later WiFi was free! This year its back to costly WiFi, or like 15 years ago you can use one of 2 computers in the Activity Hall.
We still love the place though!
Pat will be joining us tomorrow.
The day started off by being a little warmer, Thank goodness. Stephanie and I decided to go and visit my Aunts and Uncles who winter in Lakeland, It was a great visit. Unfortunately both uncles were golfing, but we did have a nice visit with Hugette, Sharon, and Nicole.
Next on the agenda, we wanted to visit one of our favorite spots. Disney Springs, formerly Downtown Disney. They are almost done the renovations. It going to look amazing!
We had a great day “window shopping” mostly. With the Canadian dollar where it is right now we are almost paying .50 cents on the dollar! The deals have to be really good before we choose to buy. We are staying at the Lake Buena Vista Resort. It has proven to be a great place. When we arrived yesterday, we had arrived a day early. The front desk staff was very accommodating and were able to book us in a day early. We can see the EPCOT fireworks from our balcony. I will try and get some pictures tonight. Oh yes,that’s a prate ship in the middle of the pool!
It was our pleasure again this year to serve breakfast to all those Paramedics who had to work Christmas this year. Stephanie along with her mother Pat and Joe M planned the best feast ever.
Superintendent Francois Cote showed up at 03:30 to give us a hand with the prep and by 04:45 we started serving.
With the financial help of our administrative staff we served over 30 lbs of sausage, 30 lbs of bacon, 200 english muffins, 18 doz eggs, 150 crepes and 4 litres of maple syrup.
I had the great opportunity to listen to the Big Soul Project‘s annual Christmas concert at Dominion-Chalmers United Church. I helped our MedVent Partners provide to the packed house of approx 1000 people. The voices and music sounded great in the venue. Can’t wait to return next year.
