Well, Liz, Cathy and TJ had the margaritas. I stuck with Sprite for this one. TJ caught a few waves at the beach even though there was hardly anything to catch. Then we went back to Liz's where Cathy took control as chef. She and Liz made this awesome bruschetta ...

not good news to report today. I left pensacola FL this morning bound for Miami. Fate had another plan in store...5 or six miles east on I-10 traffic stopped cold. Uuugh...i hate that.

The next thing that happened was the state troopers directed everyone off at SR 90, which parallels I-10 but goes thru the little towns and has ...

... touching your "undergarments". Anyway it was a nice gesture and i have all clean stuff now.<br><br>So this morning my uncle made the bombest waffles ever! Then we went to his friends house in town, the guy is a serious BMW freak, has about 11 machines in garages and two or three other makes as well. Here are some pics. Anyway we talked with BMW guy for an hour, he was a wealth of knowledge and said I didnt need to visit a mechanic ...

... calmness made it feel like being in a swimming pool....one with water that is perfect to live in. We actually spent more time in the water than out of it as it was so moderate in temperature. We bought li-lo&#8217;s and just floated about in the water sun-tanning for ages. Absolute perfection.<br><br>Our motel was called the Paradise Inn.

I am glad to be back home though and I am glad for those of you who followed my travels through this blog. Being able to share this trip with you all through this blog and getting your comments, emails and feedback along the way made it a more pleasurable adventure to travel alone. Thanks for traveling with me virtually!

... the sea gulls with little bit. They did and called us telling us that there was lots of cranes there. Well, we was in Foley already and turned around. I am glad they called because I did get some good pictures there. Like I said this trip was just too short. Our little sweetheart grand-baby was the best, sweetest little one on this trip! Thank You Father for a wonderful time with the kids.<br>

... ate lunch and were chatted up in Hooters. Aparently we have an accent!! We spent 4 hours on the beach and stocked up on cold and flu remedies, before our dinner at the hotel and quiet night. The next morning we rolled on to Orlando Florida - The home of roller coasters and the giant mouse!
