Forgot My Journal

Well here I am in Florida. In the plane here I realized I forgot my travel journal. I take it whenever Don and I travel. Don suggested I blog it. So sorry readers my next few blogs will be about our trip.

Don is attending a conference in Ft Lauderdale Fl and I came along as his carry on if you will. We left on Saturday afternoon. Brent, Marykate, and Reagan took us to the airport. We flew to Salt Lake for a 30 minute wait and then on to Florida. We arrived at 11:30 pm and after getting our rental car we arrived at our hotel room about 1:00 am. We were tired.

Up Sunday at 7:00 am for a nice continental breakfast. Then we went to Walgreens for a few things and drove around the area. We saw the missionaries. Let me stop the travel log for a sec. The missionaries were on bikes......yes a bike with two wheels. But not a bicycle a motorcycle. They were on crotch rockets. I thought it was a one time thing and crazy fun but then I some more later. Tough mission, motorcycles, nice weather. Almost make me want to sign up. I said almost.

Back to the trip. Don went to the conference in the afternoon. He took the shuttle. I walked him to the shuttle pick up so I would know where to go when it was my time to go. I laughed as it was like I was taking a child to the bus on the first day of school. I spent the day at the pool with my book. I didn't get a lot read because several folks came up to me and started to talk. Not sure why that happens but I do enjoy it. I met some really nice folks. Then I got on the shuttle bus and met Don at the conference for a meet and greet. The conference is huge. I have never been to such a big conference. I think Don told me there were about 5000 people attending. Then after getting back to the hotel we went for a walk on the beach. It was so fun to spend some time with my darling PC. We had a quick drink and then back to our room for popcorn and bed. ah, it felt like home. (we have popcorn at home in the evenings) I talked on the phone with Christmas, Brent, and my folks.

Today I got up and had breakfast with my PC and then he was off to the conference. I walked to the beach and played in the ocean a little but spent most of the day at the pool. I read my book. I swam in the pool for about an hour. I talked with Christmas and Brent on the phone. Then after lunch I swam a little more. Some teenage kids asked me to play volleyball with a beach ball in the pool with them. My team won of coarse. It was fun and I was thrilled and surprised they asked me to play. Dark clouds moved in and the thunder started so I headed back to my room to get ready for tonight. We are going to a BBQ.

More later.
