I'm here for Bridgets wedding staying at a beachfront condo with some other Chicago classmates.  We were all down at the beach catching some rays and Kyle and I decided to throw the football for a bit in the nice clear water.  He dove for a ball and lost his wedding ring in the nice clear water.  We hunted for about an hour in the nice clear water, but were unfortunately unsuccessful.  Helicopters from the nearby airforce ...

2 am

The sky is clear and lit by the stars and the moon.  The water is pretty calm and the temperature is perfect.

This is some sort of paradise....

 

Tonight: I walk

When stars can be seen
I take walks
So tonight I walk
My hands and heart open
But not alone
The path below me
An hour glass
Still

... Club screwed up our order something fierce but then gave us like $1000 in free food so it was a good time. The Harry T's place was quite expensive but had really delicious food and a great view of the Destin Marina. Doug, Lauren, Darrell, Adrienne and the Boyz went golfing a number of times and shot really well. Mom and Dad Siewert, Grandpa and Grandma Schmuhl, and Adrienne traveled to Biloxi, MS to donate some money to the local economy (AKA went gambling ...

Our first stop was Niceville up in the panhandle. (Actually, our first stop was Sonny's BBQ in Ocala for a BBQ pork platter and a bowl of fried okra - yum!) Just to answer the question before it is asked - No, not everyone is nice in Niceville. But it is pleasant enough and a short drive across the bridge from Destin which has some of the best beaches ...

When we left the FMCA Rally in Farmington, NM we headed east mostly on Interstate 40. As we cross Oklahoma, I tried to contact a classmate from my boarding school, but unfortunately missed her. We continued rather quickly on to Red Bay, Alabama where the factory and Service Center for our Tiffin Allegro Bus RV is located. Besides the damaged left rear bumper area, we needed the left half of our windshield replaced (due to a rock hit and ...

... got a new swimysuit : D Its cuteeee XD We played on a fake beach for a while, then floated in the lazy river, then went back to the hotel. July 6th: Sunday was uneventful for me and Gabi, but everyone else went to universal studios and had a blast. From what I've heard, they went on the Spiderman ride, the Hulk rollercoster, some Spongebob thing, Tito and mom did the mummy ride twice, went to Suessview and a train ride, and who knows what else, I asked Mom ...

On the road again. We left early on the morning of July 5th after spending the evening of July 4th with the neighbors. We all gathered in the club room and shared a barbecue and got to know one another better. We have new neighbors, Bob & Patti, who just moved in after selling their home in Lakewood Ranch. Bob is a pilot, retired from United. He loaned me the pilot's "Skyclopedia" that gives the ...

... it's better and it handles beautifully. It also has a slide-out, in the living/dining area (that the Dynasty didn't), which gives us quite a bit of extra 'living' area. However, it had a pull-out type sofa, that was not satisfactory for my use. So, the boys removed it and put it into PJ's house. Then I installed, in it's place, a twin bed with storage area underneath. I also added some ...

When we left Brownsville, we headed back east to Perry, GA for a big FMCA RV Rally. Along the way, we connected with our friends Bev and Wynn in Styx River for a couple of days. The FMCA rally was very good and had a lot of worthwhile information and entertainment. After the rally, we worked our way back to our friend PJ's 'farm' in Vernon, FL just north of Panama City in the Florida Panhandle. PJ had bought a reservations service from me, on the island of Maui, several years ago ...

After a pleasant week on the Gulf Shore, we headed for Florida. Then a few miles later, just after we crossed the border into Florida, we barely escaped having a bad accident with a cement truck! We don't know if the truck driver dropped something, or what, but he crossed about 5'-6' over the double yellow line into our lane right in front of us! Terry leaned on the horn and pulled over as far to the right as he could (it was a narrow road with no shoulder due to ...
