Jan 2 - 8 2013 - Hanging out for a few days

January 2 - 8 2013 - Relaxing and general settling in.

The last six days we have spent relaxing, starting exercising in the resort gym, and exploring the general area, laundry, and more organizing of our living area. 
We did go into San Antonio for one day to go to an RV show... just to see what's around and have a look at some different RVs. It was a great day and we saw some amazing RVs.. motorhomes at $370,000.... but thankfully, we saw nothing we would trade ours for. We actually found that, although this is our first RV,  we chose well for our taste and lifestyle.  Although..... we did see some reasonably priced units that had a TUB.... I think this may be a non-negotiable for our next RV... if we decide to switch!!!! 
Also went to a Camping World RV superstore just East of San Antonio and picked up neat little 'bits' to make life a little more convenient. 
Drove into Austin for one day and got all the information we could handle from the information centre downtown. It is a medium sized city of 870,000, very focused on its music scene, lots of live performance etc. We have booked tickets to go to Austin City Limits on January 17th to see a British  band called Keane. Looking forward to that.
Janice’s back has been a bit of a problem, causing some generalized pain that is …. a pain!!!  Derek set up the Apple TV box he got from Santa and it works great. 
We have yet to go swimming. They keep the pool in the high 80's and the whirlpool at 110, but because it is cool outside, we haven't had much of an urge to jump in yet .... getting out would be just too daunting. BRRRRR!!!  Maybe tomorrow!!!! Maybe not. Been raining for a couple of days, delaying our explorations.  More to follow.
