On The Road Again...

As it looks right now, we are planning a trip to Dunedin, FL, leaving on Thursday Feb 23 and returning on March 3. We hope to be at the house a couple of days, then drive down to Naples to visit Badi and Jean. We would like them to come back up with us to Dunedin for a couple of days and then we will come home.

I have to get mentally prepared for this. I have so much to do and I do not want to haul it down there with me. I don't work on it any way. So I am now preparing to leave and getting finished what is necessary. I want to do very little "packing" since we already have every thing we need down there. I may take a little food because whatever I buy there, I just have to haul back. I try to not keep much there in order to limit bugs. So, some fruit and veggies (Nasser just went to the Farmers' Market so I have a lot)...oh, I just remembered...he bought a "ton" of fresh herbs to put into the Torshi (sour relish) he made with eggplant. I have to wash and chop all of that!! Well, there's a project for today...

More Pics...From Cruise and our Home

This is the "gingerbread" houses in the Windjammer Cafe' on the ship.

I thought these were pretty...

The wind has died down and the weather is calm and sunny altho' cold (50-60s). Unfortunately, Nasser now has what I had. He has been up since midnight. He took what medicine we have (Dramamine, sleeping med, Aleve for cramping...) and trying to rest.

A Little Piece of Paradise

This is our dock.

This is the sea wall and part of our lawn. The island is the one where many people go to picnic.

The Causeway to Honeymoon Island State Park, Draw Bridge. Visible from my backyard.

The island that I will hopefully kayak to some day.

Honeymoon Beach in the distance.
