Social Hour at the RV Park-Always a Chance to Make New Friends

Gosh! Another Simpson!  At the daily social hour yesterday, a nice couple sat down across the table from us and the first thing we noticed was THEIR last name was Simpson!  But we don’t think the guys are related.  This couple also has the same brand name of RV as we do and Don recognized my name from the RV forum.  A nice couple who have only been full-timing in their RV for a little over a year (we are at 4 1/2).  They asked questions so it was fun helping newbies along the way to some fantastic adventures ahead of them, plus hearing about where they have already been.  Ahhh…I so remember our excitement at that early stage of full-timing in an RV as the roads west called for us to follow them. 

We have made good friends in our journeys and some are the kind of friends that when you see them again after a long time and say “Hi”, it is like you just saw them yesterday.  We have run into our friends all over the USA and some even by surprise coincidence.  It is also fun to stay in contact and make plans to meet as we explore the same different places across the country. It is so easy now, with email, forums, blogs, and cell phones, to say hello to friends anytime we want.  We already plan to catch up soon with friends down the road in Houston, TX, in Apache Junction, AZ, and 2 other couples are headed to the northwest next spring and summer just like we are, and we are already talking about meeting up with each other.  So there is always the fun opportunity to meet and tell each other where we have been, what we have done, and where we are going.   Plus the door is always open to welcome new friends wherever we go.  That is the fun of sharing the RVing lifestyle.
