Heading Home

Time to write the final blog entry for the 2008 trip. We leave Destin in the morning to travel to Tampa where we will stay at Lazydays for two nights. That is always our final stop before arriving home in Ft. Myers. We take the time to clean up the coach and get Pearl ready for her six months’ winter nap.

DESTIN BEACH AT SUNSET

While staying here at Topsail Hill in Destin, we ran into some acquaintances we met two years ago while in Asheville, NC. Howie and Barbara from Stuart, FL were here! Howie just happened to be walking their dog, Baxter, when Frank recognized the man and the dog! We got together the next two nights to eat, drink, and catch up on the last two years. Also joining our little group were new friends, John and Becky, from Tellico Village in East Tennessee. You just never know who you will run into while traveling!

BARBARA, HOWIE, JOHN, FRANK, AND BECKY...HERE'S TO YA!!

Mary and Tim…my sister and her husband…also paid us a visit while we were here. They came down for a “fall break” vacation. However, the weather hasn’t really cooperated with the “sun seekers”…it’s been rainy and cloudy for days.

GO VOLS!!!

We have spent the morning (a cloudy morning or else we would be sitting on the beach) packing up the coach so that we can get an early morning start tomorrow. It’s always a sad time when we know we only have a few more nights to spend with Pearl. We have spent six months on the road traveling from Florida to Wisconsin, the UP, and spending two months in Traverse City, Michigan. We have visited with old friends, made new friends, and also spent time with family along the way. Now, it’s time to get back to our home and friends in Sabal Springs.

SOMEWHERE OVER THE RAINBOW!

Until next April 2009, Frank, Pami, and Pearl say goodbye to the road. We have had another fantastic journey!

BYE BYE!! HAPPY TRAILS...UNTIL WE MEET AGAIN!!
