Heading South!

It's Saturday, November 12 and we are packed and ready to head to Florida. The leaves are off the trees and the temperatures have gotten below freezing. Jack hooks up the tow car and gets the bikes on the back of the RV. The house is locked and we've bid "Farewell" to the neighbors - time to go!
Jack and Mary Jagt are retired from the work of trading in natural rubber (Jack) and Intensive Care Nursing (Mary). They love to travel in their RV - nicknamed the Merrie Yacht. Recently moved from the home they raised their family in to a condo in a smaller town, they now have fewer home responsibilities and hope to be on the road more often.
