10-22-26 Sad day---DAvid and Nora head home

 time to move out of our roomy 4 bdrm unit to our 2 bedroom unit.  And david and Nora head home.

About 9 I headed to the office to pick up our new keys.  Even though they don't have to have the room ready until 4, they told me I could move right over.  And---it was the next room over.  Which was on the other side of the elevator.  The one whole side past the elevator is the 4 bdrom unit.  The other side from the elevator also just had 1 room, but it was a shorter hall and had a 2 bdrm unit and a utility room for the resort.  Sure made it convenient for moving---although I wished we didn't have to move!
almost ready to transfer
gotta get a sibling picture.  Haven't had one of those in a long time---or ever.
We even let Nora in for one of them
Once we were moved, it was time for breakfast and making our way to the airport.  Breakfast was at another place Ken and I liked---Moonlight diner.  Cute little diner.  And breakfast was good.

We had a couple hours before they needed to be at the airport, so I took the long way---down to A1A and along the coast. 

at Lauderdale by the Sea, we decided to park for an hour ($12!) and check out the ocean.

Too bad the pier wasn't open
Of course it started raining, too.
but it didn't rain hard or for long so we did get to walk around a bit.
even along the beach
it was still pretty rough
I guess this is why the pier is closed!
They do have a nice little covered pavilion with lots of chairs by under it so we hung out there until our hour was up.
Then continued on to the airport. All went well  for their flights.

Leaving the airport we almost got into an accident.  Some yo-yo decided to change lanes while I was in it.  Fortunately noone was in the lane next to me so I could slam on the brakes and slide over a bit.  Once straightened out, he did the exact same thing to someone who had just come up in the lane next to us.  I always joke about Florida drivers, but they do the stupidest things!

Back at the resort---pool and hot tub time.  Dinner wasn't even memorable---must have been sandwiches

Sept. 22 - Oct. 1, 2026 off to St Thomas with the Hicks kids!

Image
Home for our next week or so!  Time to hit the road---or air--- again!  The Hicks kids were heading to St Thomas, so I joined them.  It was Layla's first time to snorkel other than in the pool.  We were all anxious to see how she did.  She did SUPER!!!!  As afraid as she is of bugs, I was afraid the fish would scare her.  But she was excited and would go back and forth between me and Angie and Josh and point out everything---even the really large barracuda chilling out under an anchored boat.  Considering how long Angie and I like to snorkel, Layla really hung with us throughout most of it---even in really deep, choppy water.  Then she would want to go back by shore and play in the water she could stand in.  We even went out to lunch or/and dinner every day.  They had to leave on Sunday the 27th, but I figured I might as well stay a few extra days and didn't come back until Oct. 1st.  When the 27th rolled around, I was a little...

2026-9-22 travel day to St. Thomas

Image
 Since we had a relatively early flight (9:57am), I spent the night at the kids' house so we could save about 40 minutes travel time bright and early.  It's about an hour to the airport from the kids' house, so figured that was long enough of a car ride to start our travel day.  But the drive went well.  Josh parked in an off site parking lot with free shuttle to the airport,  That went really well, too---the shuttle basically saw us parking and drove right over and picked us up.  Within minutes, we were being dropped off at the doors to the Delta counters,   Since the kids had a checked bag, we had to wait a few minutes to check in their bag.  I managed carry on---which we were able to gate check. The gate was full.  Plane was almost full.  But I actually had an open seat next to me.      Layla noticed a rainbow outside the gate windows.  Always reminds me of Mom wishing me good times.  Boarding was on time...

2026-10-1 time to go home

Image
 Well, it was time to head home.  Had to check out by 10 and my flight wasn't until abut 2:30, so I had some time to kill.  Ended up going to the Margaritaville restaurant for breakfast. I have no complaints about the restaurant.  It's nicely decorated and the food has been very good.  I ended up getting an omelet with peppers, onions and cheese.  It was very good, but very large.  Too bad I didn't gt it a few days earlier.  Instead I had to throw half of it away.  about noon I told them I was ready for a taxi to the airport.  Fare for one to the airport is $34.  He did manage to find 4 people wanting to go to Megan's, so I got an extra ride.   They're in the process of building this at Megan's.  Restrooms?  Shop?  Whatever it is it's huge.  Bye Megan's.  I'm glad we made the decision to go there several days ago. views as he was continuing to the airport the marina in Charlotte Amalie   ...
