We visit the sunshine State - Florida

We got home from Ecuador At 1:00 AM of Weds. Jan. 25. The flight was good. The plane was not full and Jack and I each had 3 seats to ourselves. The next day we stayed at Barbara B. apartment. We had dinner with Billie and Paul. Went shopping and Laughed the whole time. We did dirty laundry there to be ready for the rest of the Florida visit.
Barbara and I are moving our bodies in class.

Our first dinner in the USA was hamburgers!

Then we went to Sally and Cliff for Thursday night. We ate stone crabs and veal chops for dinner. Went shopping again but at Costco! We bought the scale to see how much weight we gained on the trip.

Their house in Palm Beach Gardens.

Then off to visit Marilyn and Carl for Friday and Saturday. We went shopping and out to a wonderful Greek restaurant for dinner. Marilyn invited friends and family back to the house for dessert. It was tasty and we were a loud and happy group. there was so much noise. The next day we went to a outdoor art show. I loved the art but only bought something.

Saturday night we drove to Miami Beach for dinner with my aunt Reda and uncle Bert, cousins Marlene and Jeffrey. Aunt Reda had a lare spread of appitizers to eat. We needed them as we were stressed because the drive did not go well. The directions were not quite good and it took us almost 2 hours. Dinner was Italian with the best pasta. i had not seen Jeff in two years and was thrilled to visit with him.

Sunday morning was a send off breakfast with the G. Marilyn has Jack's favorite foods for breakfast. Lox, Bagels and a banana. We packed up our honeybell oranges and got into the car for the seven hour drive back to HHI.
We had been gone 23 days, along with time in Nov. and Dec. traveling. I went into the laundry room instead of the bathroom at Barbara's in the middle of the night. I wake up thinking that we are going on a tour today. It is good being back home. Eating in the kitchen and a normal life.
Jack is busy playing tennis and I am back to my walks on the beach. We saw a movie on Monday and Tuesday nights. We are eating chocolate ice cream at night and life is good.
