| Taken at sunrise from the plane |
I didn't get much sleep last night since I had to catch the "pajama shuttle" at 2:10am this morning. I've been traveling ever since. Three hours on the shuttle, two hours going through security (which was an awful experience, not just for me but for everybody) and finally making it to the gate before it was time to board. But just barely. And then once on board, I settled in for a nice long five-hour flight.
Palm trees and sunny skies greeted me when I disembarked, and Norma Jean picked me up soon after. Then another hour's drive from the Tampa airport to her home, and finally I am here, ready to write my Tuesday post.

| My fabulous dinner salad, compliments of Pete |
Peter, Norma Jean's son, had already prepared us one of his wonderful salads, which awaited us when we stepped out of the car and into the dining room. Between that, and Norma Jean's two dogs (one of whom has just been adopted), it's been quite a full, full day.
And now, given that I'm not only fed and watered (well, wined, really), I'm beginning to feel the effects of the day. I'll probably last another few hours before hitting the sack. Tomorrow, swimming!
:-)
"And now, given that I'm not only fed and watered (well, wined, really)" It appears you were welcomed properly! Enjoy your visit!!
ReplyDeleteEnjoy the time in warmer climates!
ReplyDeleteGlad you made it, safe and sound...I'm hearing on the news how difficult it was to get through airports today. You were a fortunate few to have a successful trip.
ReplyDeleteThat's a marathon. Glad it went just fine.
ReplyDeleteI am so glad that you have been suitably welcomed. Enjoy your time after that marathon trip.
ReplyDeleteWhat a great greeting after that long travel day.
ReplyDeleteA long journey but so worth it! Enjoy!
ReplyDeleteIt's warm enough to swim in Florida? Oh, boy ... I'm headed there next week!
ReplyDeleteGlad you are there safe and sound. The salad looks great, I would pick off the cukes:)
ReplyDeleteI hope you get all rested up before swimming. Glad you got there safely. Enjoy your genuine face time--LOL! ;)
ReplyDeleteI keep forgetting just how far away you are from Florida. That was a long trip and how nice to have such a welcome. Glad you made it OK and the the shutdown didn't make it too miserable.
ReplyDeleteEnjoy your vacation. That photo of sunrise is really pretty. The salad looks good, and it was so nice of Pete to make it for you.
ReplyDeleteThe getting there is never great but now you will be rested and enjoying your sister's company and the warmth of the sun.
ReplyDeleteOh I bet that security check WAS awful with that nasty partial shutdown!
ReplyDeleteHave fun, I know you will!
So glad to hear that you made it to Florida with not too much hassle. Now relax and enjoy your visit !
ReplyDeleteOh yikes! Now you've been hit by this awful spam! Isn't it so aggravating?
ReplyDeleteI'm glad your travel ordeal is over and you're able to enjoy the Florida warmth. 2:10 AM???? Oh my gosh!!!
