One More Sleep!

Day 141, December 20th, 2009

Yesterday there were so many people fretting as to whether they would manage to get home. A bad storm hit a big range of the US from Washington to New York gumming up all the airports. They're not quite as efficient when it comes to snow as Canada!! John checked our flight and it looks fine. Keeping our fingers crossed!

I did the laundry in the morning while John did some stuff on the computer. When I'd delivered the laundry back to the boat (all wrapped in a garbage bag so it didn't get wet in the dinghy), we walked up to Budget to get the car. There are no buses to Orlando from Stuart. The airport transport car costs double the rental car so rental car it was. What luxury - to ride in the car!!!
Since we picked it up early around 11:00 we had time to do some shopping at WalMart. Picked up some supplies to tide us over while we're in the Bahamas, where everything is so expensive.
We walked around the flea market which was kind of fun. Nothing much. Just doodling!

We had to get busy back at the boat in the evening. Putting the stores away, hoisting up the outboard onto the boat and getting the dinghy up on the bow and tying it down, digging out some warm clothes and packing, and finally having another chicken sandwich and a cup of tea!!
All systems go for the morning!!!
