Blue Moon Inn Dunedin

... way out!

Halloween night itself is so festive with all the neighbors (American spelling for effect) are out and about and all the neighborhood kidds meet as a house and go around trick or treating together...again, going all out with outfits they look great!

We had such a wonderful week of quality time with the fan-dam but all too soon 1 November rolled around and our amazing trip was over! We sadly made the trip back to the airport for the real final trip home...

... sat down earlier!
We got settled in to our seats. The bathroom was conveniently only 2 rows away, although, as it turns out I only used in once. That's a miracle! 10 hours and I only peed once!!! This could be due to the fact that the one time that I was in there (it was about 3 or 4 hours into the plane ride), the bathroom was so disgusting that I vowed never to return!! It reeked! After that, everytime that the door wasn't closed ...

... Bed Bath & Beyond. Must travel with a neck pillow on long flights!
Back at Gram's, Conrad is working with Bruce doing fix-it stuff. Owning your own hostel allows you to learn how to fix stuff, whether you wanted to know it or not! I took pictures so that everyone could get an idea of what Gram's ...

... His place is better than the Pirate Haus, in that he owns the property, so he can do all the cool things he's done there. Gram's is 80% like the place I dream of owning. We pretty much packed yesterday, and Fran arrived back yesterday to run the Inn while we're gone so it's like we've got the final green light on the 'Christmas Tree' at a drag race....April is the organized one, my god, we've got a spreadsheet of where we'll be. I do appreciate that myself ...

... bed (at least I hope)!
So we headed to my parents' house to say goodbye. There we got to meet George, the CUTEST little chihauha (is that spelled right)? He is SO CUTE!! I want to take him home with us when we get back. Mom & Dad are just fostering him, but I told her that I want him when we get home ...

Hello Class!

Welcome to our travel blog where we will be writing about our fun travels! Each of you will write one entry that is at least 2 paragraphs long (4-5 sentences each). You will need to include how many miles we will travel in all, how much your airline tickets cost ...

... I particularly enjoyed it though. The cushy leather seats with zero-calorie-chocolate-chip-cookie-like TVs in the headrests were an obvious plus. I'd say Jet Blue's corporate brand appears to be detail-oriented, neat and modern. The flight attendant uniforms are much less drab than those of other airlines. They’re actually on the verge of chic like those in that Gwennyh Paltrow/ Mike Meyers movie. “I put the wrong emphaasis on the wrong ...

... to the beach. I saw a big crab and even got to hold one, it was amazing. We then went back to Ava and Luc's and I took a shower and got real soap in my eyes. Now it's time for bed.

Brian's version. Bradley actually slept in today until close to 9:00am! We slowly got around then headed to Uncle Bob's. Bradley had a bowl of cereal then we took off for a short trip to Safety Harbor. On the way, we stopped at the cemetary where ...

... Caladesi Island did come close with beautiful colours in the water. We didn't stay too long before making our way back on the ferry. As a bit of a thank you for having us, that evening Max and I cooked dinner for Tyson and Mert - it was chicken pasta (well not for Max). They were pretty stoked and it seems as though it was a pretty big deal for them, guess they don't have home cooked meals often.

... you have to have a safety drill before you can start your vacation. This was the first of many that I would participate in, but it was relatively painless. Other than the fact that I looked like a complete idiot with this life jacket on! Just as soon as the drill was over, the ship was moving. We went to the deck to watch the land fade away and my first cruise had officially begun!
