Update on Barbie

Barbie is doing much better today. The doctors want to keep her in the hospital through the weekend possibly releasing her on Monday. I brought in her computer for her today but she doesn't have any Internet access. But she has TV in the room and some games on her computer to occupy her time.

Barbie is in the hospital

Barbie was admitted into the Abbeville General Hospital last night with pneumonia. They are going to keep her there through tonight. We were planning on leaving out next Monday on our way to Oconto, WI for the summer. Our route will take us through Oklahoma City for a couple of days, then to Moberly, MO for a couple of days before our final destination at the Oconto Yacht Club in Oconto.

Betty's RV Park

After 7 years on the road, Betty's RV Park in Abbeville, LA hands down is one of the best little RV parks that we have stayed at. Betty's RV Park is not a fancy RV resort, there are only 17 sites with hookups at surround her house on a large city lot, they are tight getting into, and the roads are gravel. She has Wi-Fi for those who need to get on the Internet but the signal is weak and you may need to bring your laptop into the pavilion to use it.

But what makes up for it all is Betty herself. She wants to make sure that she is there when you arrive to give you a big welcome. Happy hour is everyday at 4:30 in the afternoon and can last for 2 to 3 hours. You have to bring your own though. You might bring some snacks to share with everyone else too. She arranges tours in the area to places that you would never be able to find on your own. And we have group pot lucks all the time. We are having more fun, met more friends and were treated better than any RV Park we have stayed at before. One thing though, don't bring the kids and please, leave the politics back at your RV.

Betty's RV Park is located at 2118 South State Street in Abbeville, Louisiana. Her phone number is (337) 893-7057. Make sure you call before coming in because she stays full all the time.

Abbeville, LA

After calling Betty's RV Park a little after 2:00 this afternoon to make sure that we were still on for arriving there tomorrow, Betty said she had a space open today. So, within an hour we were on the last leg of this trip to Abbeville, LA. We arrived in time to basically get set up before happy hour. We will be here until around April 14th, then start heading north, through Oklahoma, for our summer destination at the Oconto Yacht Club in Oconto, WI.

New Iberia, LA

We got on the road a little after 10:00 this morning then waited in line for over an hour for the ferry crossing between Galveston Island and Bolivar Peninsula before we finely got off the island. We had side winds all the way. We have stopped at KOC Kampground in New Iberia, LA for 3 nights before heading 21 miles east to Abbeville, LA where we will spend a month a Betty's RV Park.



After we got settled in, we went to dinner at one of our favorite restaurants in the area. R&M's Boiling Point for boiled crayfish. Barb just loves them. We had 12 pounds between the 2 of us. During dinner, Barb said "I could do a winter in Louisiana."
