Another trip to Kissimmee

We left Lake Louisa early this morning to go over to Kissimmee. Tinker had a grooming appointment at Bass Pet Resort in Kissimmee. We had had him groomed there a few years ago and they had done a great job.

After taking Tinker to Bass Pet Resort we went to Camping World to purchase a Thousand Trails campground membership. They had now divided their preserves (campgrounds) into 4 sections instead of just the East & West part of the U.S.

We selected the Southeast area - it has the highest number of preserves and is also an area we frequently travel. After filling out the paper work and paying our $499 for annual dues, we were now Thousand Trails members.

While we were waiting for the call from the groomer that Tinker was ready, we went over to my brother's house in Kissimmee for a visit. We'll be coming back to Kissimmee for a month's stay after we leave Lake Louisa State Park.

After picking Tinker up at the groomer, we stopped by Wal-Mart Supercenter to do a little shopping.

On the way back to Lake Louisa we stopped at the Thousand Trails Orlando Preserve to look around. We showed our temporary membership card and explained we had just joined at Camping World. There are 850 sites in the preserve and I'm sure that it is full during the winter months. But today there were only a few RVs there - it is June in Florida and off-season.

It was good to get back to the RV this afternoon. Tinker is always tired after his time at the groomer's (he doesn't get his daily quota of naps) and we enjoyed looking through the Thousand Trails packet and information we got.
