I arrived as scheduled at 2:00 p.m., November 28th at the destination of my first long stay of the winter trip, Tucson Meadows Mobile Home and RV park. I was nicely greeted by the attendant at the security gate and directed towards my site. Once in that vicinity I was met my the park hostess and a couple of nearby neighbors who were outside enjoying the lively day. This is a back in spot and I tried to do it myself, but then one of the neighbor men offered to do it so I let him. It took him a few moves to get it perfectly positioned am aligned, so I don't feel like I was doing that bad a job. Everyone involved wanted it to be perfect because Sarah-Anne'll be here for 5 weeks.
We had agreed that once I was pretty much set up I would go to the office to do the final registration and make payment. This park accepts credit cards so it is easy.
I was give a nice welcome package of information including some maps, coupons, all the rules and the monthly newsletter with all the activities listed.
My readers about golf in the area indicated that there were 5 city courses that were a good value and had pretty good ratings. They offer a discount card and points card. I figured seeing g as I was planning on playing 5 or 6 rounds a week that if the course we're acceptable buying one would be a good investment. I also knew the price was going up the following day so I headed to the location with 36 holes and checked it out. The pro shop staff let me take a cart out for a drive about because there wasn't enough time to play. I quickly determined that the course design and conditions were more than acceptable and I was going to buy in. One of the cart guys said that I should purchase it online and then pick it up the first day I was going to play. That way I would get the lower price and my first round free! Doing the transaction was a good test for the WiFi at the park. It worked just fine.
I arrived on a Tuesday, Bingo night. Though I'm not really that big on Bingo, I figured it was the first opportunity to meet people. Their regular price is $3 per row of 3 cards for 10 games each with a prize of $20 or $30. After that there are 3 special game for which the cards are $1 for 3, each. For starters I just went with 6 cards for 10 games. I met two people and felt I was being checked out by everyone else in the room. I didn't even come close to winning a game.
All in all day 1 in Tucson was very successful.
