We need to find warmer weather

Did I say it was starting to look like winter?  I should have kept my mouth shut.  We planned to leave on a Saturday and couldn't get away until Monday.  We received 8" of snow after a couple of inches of freezing rain.  Needless to say, it was a mess and I moved snow for a good 3 hours on Sunday.  And here I was hoping I could avoid the snow removal scene.  In the midst of all this, Andrea decided to buy a different car so we were helping her work through those steps.  It's probably a good thing that we didn't leave on Saturday.

We finally turned the house key over to Andrea and made it out of town on Monday, November 12th.  We're currently in St Joe, MO.  Originally we planned to head for Augusta to have Thanksgiving with Tom, however, his deployment was extended and now he hopes he'll be back in country just before Christmas, but even that is not definite.  So, using Plan B, were headed for New Orleans where we plan to spend a few days and then keep going to Cedar Key, FL over Thanksgiving.  We've never been there before, but it looks like it should be interesting.  We have a condo rented with a small kitchen, so we'll see what we can whip up for Thanksgiving.  Ultimately, our plan is to be in Key Largo the 25th of November.  We again have a place rented for a couple of weeks while we work on the boat and get it ready to put back in the water. We still have plans to take Andrea and grandson Kyle on a cruise the 9th of December.  Tom was suppose to go too, but unfortunately his extended deployment will prevent that from happening.  We're still excited to take Andrea and Kyle.  It should be fun!!

We'll give you an update as soon as we get to New Orleans.
