Yup, it looks like we are going to make an “additional” trip to Florida.

We will leave Michigan on December 18th and arrive at our condo mid-day on the 20th. Because we have some commitments in Michigan that we can’t miss, we’ll leave to come back to Michigan on January 14th. But we’ll be back in our Florida conda again on the 28th. We’ll have to make three trips between Michigan and Florida between mid-December and the end of January, but our vehicle is comfortable and since gas prices are now lower, we figure we can handle it.

The only disappointment thus far is that the South Club’s New Year’s Eve party was cancelled because too few tickets were sold. (Now folks are calling about them, but it’s too late.) We don’t know what we’ll do to bring in the new year, but we’ll find some way we can visit with friends.

Our Christmas Day feast is portable. We can do our cooking in Florida as well as here. I’ll take along decorations so we feel festive.

We have lots of activities that we’re looking forward to. There are dances, dance lessons, and other scheduled stuff that will keep us busy. We hope to get together with friends. We are also anticipating the fruit which is ripe for picking in January. (Especially grapefruit and strawberries.)

I’m excited!
