Hey Gals and Guys,

I'm back!

 

First of all, no, we didn't have any major problems with the storms. The first week was rainy and grey, so we took a road trip from Lake City down to Clearwater, about 3 hours to the south, but they were still getting spin-off from Fay, so that was basically just an expensive day trip. But it was refreshing, and fun just to get out and be "doing something".

 

Sonja (my wife) and I went to Vegas for a few days and met an Army buddy and his wife. Meeting them was such a blast, that it more than compensated for Vegas. We decided that we are not "Vegas people". It is loud, flashy, busy, expensive, and we are more "Beach and Tiki-bar people", quiet, relaxed, feet-in-the-sand, a steak and beer. Oh well to each his own. The best part of Vegas, was seeing our friends and visiting the Hoover Dam, ironically though, we had to fly from Florida to Vegas, to go to a Margaritaville Café, to drink Margaritas and get a bit of Caribbean feeling.

 

The rest of the time in Florida was really sun and beach and family, and was totally too short.

 

I will take more time and talk and write to everyone later, and share some pics. I also made more "Artsy" pics, and will post some "as is" and other as collages, I am looking forward to that.

 

Take care and cheers,

Alan
