Mon, Dec 8:  KOA, Naples, FL, to Pine Island Park, Homestead, FL:  A pretty easy drive today.  We continued on I75 south over Alligator Alley and then took Rt. 27 which dumped us on the Florida Turnpike.  Got directions from Gerald once we were on the Turnpike and we were there in no time.  This is a really nice park with lots of grass and really nice trees and other foliage. They have an overflow section where we stayed for one night which worked out perfectly, since it was across the street from Esther and Gerald’s place.  And their place is great!  It’s like a park model, but better.  They have a really nice tree in their front yard and several other nice ones on their property.  And they have a huge screened-in lanai in front.  I really fell in love with it.  They were so smart to buy it.  And Foxy, their Pomeranian, is more adorable than ever.  We had a great time with them.  Stumbled home around 11:00.
