Vacation News!

Hard to believe I haven't posted anything since early November. Wow.

Well, here's where we are right now...Miami. We'll be leaving soon for The Round-up and some line dancing. En route we are picking up a pogo online tourney group friend of Tom's known as Yee (as in Yeehaaa).

Backing up, our vacation started with a flight to Las Vegas. While there, we visited with my high school friend, Steph, took a day trip via bus to the Grand Canyon, danced at Stoney's and Gilley's. (Gilley's had the added bonus of Cadillac Jack, of old WXTU fame). But the big story on this Las Vegas visit was the 24 hour pass to five of the buffets around town. Yum yum. (My favorite was Paris).

We were home for a about a day and a half (and did a gazillion errands like getting a crown at the dentist, hair cut, and bill paying) and then drove off for our next adventure....Florida!

We got to John and Helen's place in the Villages in a day and a half (with a sleepover at a hotel in NC) and were able to celebrate Thanksgiving with them at a neighbor's. (What a feast!) We golfed, too, and were happy to visit with the Rebardo's until it was time to drive down to phase one of our Bluegreen reservations -Solara in Miami.

En route, we detoured to Sebastian and had a lovely visit with Wilma and Harry, then continued on our trek to Miami. (We cleverly purchased a sunpass for highway travel in the sunshine state).

Interestingly, I spent the first four mornings here in class with some new H&R Block friends in the North Miami district. Skill classes completed. Check.

We have additionally danced at the Round up and enjoyed the beach, pool, hot tub, and other amenities in the area. The temperature has been pretty steady at 80 ish and the wind died down today for the first time (who knew we'd miss it?)

Tomorrow we are going to visit fellow Delran retiree Joan Klaus for lunch at her home here in southern Florida.

Our next leg of the journey is heading back up to Kissimee (and looking forward to seeing Harry and Wilma again, maybe Linda Price, Harry Potter, and Mickey Mouse).
