Ramada Inn Plant City

Arriving in balmy Florida to familiar faces was fantastic! After a long long time of not knowing anyone or anything, the comfort of a beautiful South African accent face to face was music to our ears (never thought I'd say that)<br><br> Being met at the airport by my family and being driven in an actual car with actual airconditioning was the next marvelosity! To be driven to a clean house with clean bathrooms and hot showers and SPACE was almost too much to bare...only copious ...

... the bathroom is what I smelled. Conrad never smelled it. Fortunate for him!! I watched a Coco Chanel movie, which was only in French or Spanish. That's frustrating watching a movie and not being able to hear what's going on. I got the general principle of it though. The second movie was The Taking of Pelham 123. This was a fairly decent movie. I think I missed the first 5 minutes, but I don't think I missed much. Our flight had left at 12 ...

The rough plan of our trip is as follows...<br><br>Thursday morning, we drive to Orlando and fly to Baltimore. Hopefully, we will get a military flight right out of BWI. There may be one Late PM on Thursday. If we can't get on that one, we will stay the night in Baltimore and head to McGuire AFB, NJ on Friday. It looks like there may be three flights from McGuire to ...

... is like. It has very sociable outdoor areas. I love the fountain and Conrad likes the outdoor shower (does this surprise anyone!?). We will be headed to the airport shortly. Fly from Tampa to Miami. Wait in Miami for 2 hours, then fly 9 hours to Madrid. It will be 7 am on October 4th by the time we get there.

... like my Dad said, "if you don't have a plan, you can't change it", still I long for the footloose and fancy free days of traveling with no schedule.<br><br>Bruce's 'lady friend', a hot chick from Amsterdam, has offered us her place to stay in the heart of Amsterdam (on the Leidsplein!!!) for a couple of days - how cool is that???<br><br>I sooooo much look forward to this trip and I thank my wonderful staff for making it possible!!! yeah, you know who you are....<br>

... sort of agrees, but it will require more dog proofing b/c he's so small he can get under stuff.<br> We finally made it to Gram's Place at 1030 pm. I was tired. We stayed in the Blues Room. We met a lovely couple from Sweden currently living in Jacksonville. Conrad stayed up with them and drank beers while I went to bed.

... plane, which has cute shamrocks painted on the wings, and saw that the cute seats and the cute carpet and the cute little flight attendant frocks are all emerald green, I sat in my cute window seat and the pilot came on the PA and spoke first in Irish and then said &#8220;Good day ladies and lads.&#8221; I think I giggled out loud with excitement. It also doesn&#8217;t hurt that I have both seats in my row to myself. In fact, now that I&#8217;m looking ...

... I am surprised just how relaxed I feel. I have the same feeling I get after SCUBA diving. I thought I'd be full of adrenaline, but no. Dena and I are hanging out waiting for my video to finish. While we are waiting, Shaun finally shows up. He asks if we already jumped and we said "yeah, where were you?" We had hoped he would jump when we did. He asks who we jumped with and I point out Randy and he goes "Randy?" and just starts laughing. I ...

... the land all hint at your location. The docks were easy to locate with just simple directions printed out before we left. (This was before fancy in car GPS systems on every dash in America.) As we approached the dock, I was amazed when my father pointed out the ship. I had been on a boat or two before, but I never expected to see something this large! After a quick and well ...
