Marriott Jacksonville

... anyway all is well and got onto the plane.<br><br>I arrived in Houston, TX around noon and waited for my flight to Jacksonville that was supposed to depart at 3:55pm central time. We sat on the plane for 1 hour because of an electrical error and I got to Jacksonville finally around 7pm EST.<br> <br>My hotel nice and right on the river that splits the city in half. Here is picture of it at night.

... as the clocks went back. The worse thing was the wine, I have not had a decent glass of wine since I joined the ship, I think I will have to buy my own next time we get somewhere decent.<br><br>I have been given loads 'n loads of chocolate for my birthday and a pair of pink flip flops from ...

<br> This entry is just to finish up the map so we get a total distance traveled.<br><br> We made it home safely though. Kalee was confused at first to see us. Chloe was instantly excited. It took a few minutes, but then Kalee was too.<br><br> Lots of laundry and unpacking to do today!!<br><br>Total miles traveled: 11,687 - that doesn't include all of the miles that we walked either!!

Hey fans, sorry I haven't been writing in a week. I'm just loving Jacksonville! (It's so much better than California!) Really I haven't been writing because Mom's feeling like this blogging thing is a bad idea for me, but I think Mom just is eating too much chocolate to even think straight.<br>Anyway, I'm so upset! Tonight I have to ...

... Menendez de Aviles founded St. Augustine, and in 1672 built the Castillo de San Marcos, which is today the oldest building in the United States. <br>Throughout the castle we saw shields, flags and cannons of our land. All very interesting, but there was no air conditioning, and hot was suffocating. A curious fact, the castle walls were made of coquinas.

... jacks and black drum. None of them were keepers, but Bob's tips were proving to be reliable. That night I soaked the backpack and odor laced shorts in soapy water. Crazy fish got a good hard cleaning and the rugs all got beaten and aired out. My bike was rustier than I had ever seen it and the salt was already eating away at the chrome, chain, gears and shifters. I washed and wire brushed it and put chain cleaner and lube on ...

... in St. Augustine, FL. The park is situated on the ocean, with over a hundred shaded campsites in the woods. The deep sugar sand beach is a short bike ride from the campsites and almost nobody was there since all of the kids are back in school. A very friendly, totally tatooed shopkeeper told me that the fishing was pretty unexciting, except for the occasional whiting, so I planned on making this a beach walking visit and ...

St Augustine is another old beautiful town rich in history. When you visit, the trolley tour is a must. Also a visit to the old lighthouse. There are many fine restaurants in the area. This is another place that we will return to. Our campground was nestled in the woods near town and very nice.

Great success at the Vancouver Island brewery!-go to a Mariners Game? check.-Cool vintage shirts?

Well from what I can still remember of this day was it was long and alcohol invested. Being the young 21 year old that I was I mustered up to the bar at the Cleveland airport and first learned about the airport shot. Buy a beer and get a shot for a buck. I bought my first one. Then I met these nice business guys from Canada. Who were more than welcome to send me off real toasty on my first trip to ...
