Friends ForeverBob Crawford, my Bob, Brian Carley, Keith Kinniburgh
We had a great weekend of visiting with friends. On Friday night, Keith and Catherine Kinniburgh drove up from Fort Lauderdale where they are vacationing. We haven't seen the Kinniburghs for at least 2 years so it was really great to spend time with them and catch up on all that's happened. Then on Saturday, we rented a car and drove to Naples to stay the night at Brian and Tracey's condo. Bob and Bev Crawford came for the night as well - and the Kinniburghs made another drive to join the group for the evening. The guys have been friends since the olden days when they were salesmen at General Foods and it's a rare pleasure when they can reconnect.
We're back at the boat now waiting to fly home. Since our fares will cost much less if we fly on Thursday rather than on Monday, we have some time to kill. We are using the time to clean out and organize but - today we went to a movie to escape the heat - over 90 degrees is a little too hot in a stationary boat without air conditioning but the wind is whipping up tonight preceding a big drop in temperature. I can't say that I'll be sorry to see the cold front arrive.
It just happens that we have managed to be home for Easter - so we'll have Sean and Michelle and Krista for an Easter dinner on the weekend. It feels good to be able to touch base with the kids before we continue on our journey. We'll also get our mail sorted out, income tax papers in order and deal with whatever unknowns may await us.
We're flying back a week from Wednesday and all going well, we'll begin our journey north the following day.

You guys are lucky - we are enjoying the full Canadian winter at the moment, but by the time you are heading back, it should be warmed up enough to have melted the snow! Happy upcoming bunny day!
good to hear you made the crossing and missed sailing in that storm! Talk to you when you are back home. Have a good flight!
