A Right of Passage?

[CrossCountryGal]

Late yesterday evening I must've dozed off. &nbsp;Next thing I knew it was 3:00am and the police were knocking on my bus. &nbsp;Checked my ID, politely told me there was a town ordinance against sleeping there, and told me that the local Walmart didn't call them to roust overnighters since it was "out of season." (FYI-Gulf Shores, AL)<br><br>Think I should get a tattoo to commemorate my very first dealings with the PoPo? &nbsp;lol

It is always tourist season here in Orlando. If it wasn't for the upcoming heat/humidity, I think it would be a good place to do all year long. Not that I want to stay in one place, just that it seems possible.

I love tatoos, but be forewarned, they can become addictive!! I got my third one to celebrate my 10th year as a vandweller. <br><br>Don't do it on impulse though, it is a life-long decision.<br>Bob

To date I only have one tattoo and it's located in an "invitation only" location&nbsp;<img src="/images/boards/smilies/wink.gif" class="emoticon bbc_img">&nbsp; It's a colored dragonfly that I got last year for my 50th birthday. &nbsp;I'm seriously considering another though!<br><br>papas34 - Welcome! &nbsp;I'm relatively new myself. &nbsp;Lurked and learned for a long time and then took the plunge! &nbsp;You'll love it here, everyone is so friendly and helpful.<br><br><br>

That's hard to believe, no suburban wife and mother would do that!! Would they???<br>Bob

CrossCountryGal, YAY for having a pleasant experience with them! I've always had a pleasant experience so far as well!&nbsp; Plus, that sounds like a great way to remember your 50th birthday!<br><br>akrvbob, we are still women, even if we are wives and mothers!&nbsp; Being a wife and a mother doesn't take away our sexuality, our bodies or ourselves <img src="/images/boards/smilies/smile.gif" border="0" align="absmiddle"><br><br>With Love,<br>Tara

<br><br>FL Wal*Marts are great for spending time in. Most allow overnighters.&nbsp; Also, many FL rest stops are safe, well lit and have security.&nbsp; Truck Stops are also great, especially if you have no shower on board. This info goes for GA also.&nbsp; You may want to spend the winter in FL where it's warm. Go west in the spring.&nbsp; <img src="/images/boards/smilies/smile.gif" class="emoticon bbc_img">
