Hi everyone!
My family (DH, DD1 (10 going on 21
), DD2 (7 and pushing all her sister's buttons!) and me! Oh yeah, we also have a 10lb dog who is going to enjoy not being left behind on trips) is very new to the camping world. We just recently acquired a 30' TT, and we have decided to venture into the world of camping.
We took it on an inaugural trip to Tombstone AZ (about 90 minutes away) a couple of weeks ago, and found it to be far easier and comfortable than we thought initially, so we are very excited! BTW, Tombstone in late Jul/early Aug is very HOT!!! You would think living in AZ, we would know that!
Anyway back to our story...we are a military family about to be transfered from AZ to VA. DH is going to be heading east soon, but the girls and I will not be following until mid Nov due to my work commitments. The TT will be DH's "apartment" while he is in VA and we are still in AZ.
A few weeks ago, DH suggested that we (the girls, the dog and I) fly to VA rather than drive. He figured it would be worth the small cost of plane tickets to save wear and tear on both the car and mom's nerves if we fly in one day rather than drive for 5 days. Can I say ho much I love this man?? 
About 7-10 days ago, DH suggested that instead of flying to VA that we fly to Orlando and he would meet us there with the TT! After an initial NO (the story why is long, complicated and delves way too far into my psyche! 
), I decided it wouldn't be such a bad idea after all (especially after I found the $90/person 1way airfare on SW who also now takes small pets!). So we have reservations at Ft Wilderness for 14-21 Nov. The week we initially would have spent in the car driving cross country, we will now be spending at WDW (hoping to take the sting out of the move for DDs; a little bribery never hurts!). 
We are very excited about this new chapter in our lives, both the new assignment and venturing into the world of camping. Any and all advice/info would be much appreciated. DH and I were saying that we could totally see ourselves RVing across the country in retirement (his goal is to hit every NASCAR race in a single season; mine is to enjoy myself and new parts of this country we haven't explored yet!), but that is still many years (and hopefully a vehicle upgrade) in the future.
Anyway, that is our story.
