Today we all headed north to the Fort Myers district to pick up Bob's new boat. It was about a 2 hour trip north through the Everglades, along a stretch of road called 'Alligator Alley'. It quite quickly became obvious why it was so named, we must have seen 30 or 40 alligators in the river beside the highway as we travelled through that stretch. Compared to the Salt Water Crocodiles back in Australia they seemed pretty small, however I am sure they are worthy of great respect and best left alone!! I didn't take any photos as Bob says that when we go out in the boat down in Florida Keys we will see plenty near us in the water.
During my time over here I seen so many large motorhomes (called RVs by the locals), and have fallen in love with them. Well, just near where we picked up Bob's boat we saw a large RV centre (had 100s of them), so we called in there so I could have a look. Now I am more in love with them than ever!!
This one is typical of what I saw...
I thought it looked great on the outside, and then we went inside...
It was my idea of Heaven on wheels. It even has a small trading desk for me on the right!!! The kitchen is complete with a large fridge and freezer, convection oven, dishwasher. Notice the floor has real tiles. Bedroom has a queen size bed, full wardrobe. Also has a toilet with its own basin, and another basin with the shower.
We had a look in a few, here is another one with a slightly different layout...
Don't you love that TV!!! Great for my movies on the road :-)
I went and asked the prices, and they are so cheap compared to Australia, only around $200K!!! So now I have plans to hire one for a month to tour around the US with Janine and Jordan. That would be SO much fun!!
On the course front, I have pretty much completed Phase 1 now. I have learnt so much, and am now very excited to get into Phase 2 next week, which is working with the live market using the simulator. Given what I saw today with the RVs, my motivation has gone up a notch, and it was already extremely high!!
