I was at 3 air ports yesterday and was thinking about how air travel has changed over the years. Gone are the suits, dresses, high heels and (gasp!) stockings! Somehow I think air travel is more civilized now…

This past week saw Chelsea and I meeting up with Steph and Grandkids in San Diego. Steph (middle daughter) was taking her state board and Chelsea (youngest daughter) and I were there to provide morale support and watch the kids. Shortly after Steph left for her exam I loaded everyone in the car and it was off to Coronado Island for some fun.
We saw big boats,
and little ones.
We swung so high we touched the sky…
we went on a purple slide (a double one at that), and
dug for treasure.
Steph is sure she did well on her test, so we celebrated at a great Afghan restaurant in San Diego.
Had a great time!

Well, our time here in Louisiana is coming to a close and daughter and I will be heading back to San Antonio early tomorrow morning. We have to move her into a different dorm apartment. Wednesday we’ll leave for California.
It has been hectic. The house is mine and the former owner is moving out today. I’ve had contractors in and I’m waiting for the quotes for some electrical work, repair work and painting work. I’ve met with the property management company. The carpet folks come tomorrow to measure for the new living room carpet. If the other work comes in too high, my folks will be finding other folks for the work. I am so thankful that they are willing to do this for me!
Although our time has been busy, it’s been so much fun to be with family again. One of my sisters came in on Friday and left today – a much too short of time to have together, but better than no time!
We’ll be stopping by my middle daughter’s for a couple of nights – and will collect our cats before going home on Saturday. Monday is a holiday for me (Memorial Day) so I’ll have Sunday and Monday to rest up before heading back to the office.
Yesterday we were at Grand Turk. Our last stop before arriving in Florida tomorrow. I had decided to stay on-board the ship and was so lucky that when we docked my balcony faced the island. Beach, and not much else, greeted us. I enjoyed the day on my balcony, knitting, reading and watching the folks play in the ocean.
Today we are sailing for Florida, no stops, and will arrive early in the morning. The ocean is a beautiful blue, the sun is shining. Waves are rough and the boat is rocking and rolling! And it’s cold – probably not really cold, but after the heat and the humidity of the Caribbean it feels cold.
I will take advantage of today to enjoy the views and relax. Tomorrow will be tiring – flying across the country (5+ hours) and then driving home (3+hours). But it will be good to be in my own bed, resting my head on my own pillow and being with my pets.
This has been a wonderfully relaxing trip – and a great opportunity to catch up with old friends.
