Well, we decided that even though the closing has been postponed 3 times, the last message sounded very confident, so we're taking our chances making our way down to the area where it's being sold (near Orlando, FL).
We left Raleigh and dear daughter and son in law this morning and drove about 7 hours to Savannah, GA. Not really doing anything touristy; just staying in a decent hotel with a nice pool. Only drawback is it's right near an army airbase, so we have constant helicopters and war jets passing directly overhead. Grateful it's practice and not on military duty!
The paperwork we need to establish our domicile is ready (arrived at SBI) so tomorrow we will drive about 3 hours to Green Cove Springs, FL to register and get our drivers licenses. Originally we were planning to do this on our way back up north, but what the heck; may as well take care of it now that we have the time! Afterwards, we will drive about 2 1/2 hrs and stay at a hotel on Daytona Beach. On Wed. morning we will make our way down to Orlando (St. Cloud, actually). Whether we make the purchase and spend our first night in our COW or need a hotel down there is yet to be seen.
* I don't recall if I said this before or not -- the reference to cow and bull: cow = castle on wheels; bull is the beast of a truck pulling it.
