The Gundys of Bonita Springs

Our check in at Imperial Bonita was a bit strange. We had phoned them twice before arrival to add a couple days to our stay- owing to the fact that Marilyn contracted jury duty while we were in town. But imagine the confusion when, upon arrival, the office staff told us we were NOT checking in today.
“Yes! We are!
“No, you’re not!
“Yes, we are. Trust me.”
“No. Really. You called to make changes. Remember?”
Long story- short: As unusual as the name Gundy is, there was, in fact, another Gundy due to check into the park in a few days. There was also an entirely new office staff on the job. Add to that, that our site was 160 and the other Gundys were assigned to 61 and our stays would overlap by a day or two only. It was the Perfect Storm of Confusion for a few minutes, but then the light came on and the picture was clear.
First time we tried to find the other Gundys, they were out so we left a card on their Fifth Wheel, with an explanation. A couple hours later they showed up at the coach by bike. We had things to do; they had plans, but we had a whirlwind chat session and managed time for a quick photo together. So while we are not REALLY the Gundys of Bonita Springs, we all were for a day or two and that was quite fun.
So introducing in the photo with us, Mr. and Mrs. Clarence Gundy! Hope our paths will cross again and we can get to know each other better.
It’s a family thing!
