Today was a really busy day for us. We needed to open the
cargo carrier on top of the Jeep and that always takes a little extra effort.
Well, John does it, I can’t even reach the thing. I just help as he hands thing
to me. Our big suitcase (26”) is packed with all our clothing for the cruise. Our
carryon will be packed in the am with our laptops and essential items such as
medications, etc. Then I have a tote bag with our paperwork and our allotted two
bottles of wine. We will only hand over our big suitcase when boarding. All our
winter clothing is in reusable bags in the cargo carrier now.
Here at camp, besides getting the suitcases packed, we ate
the filet mignon we had in our freezer – with it we had the wine Steven &
Saira gave us for Christmas. It was sort of a pre-cruise celebration. The wine
was delicious, very full bodied with a lot of berry under tones. We had a
simple baked potato and salad with our filet. I think I’ve perfected the filet
in a frying pan! The weather was especially nice today so we cooked outside,
ate outside, played cards outside and subsequently visited with people who
passed by. Ray from Philly was trying to find more Iguanas to photograph. He
just missed the big one we saw while eating lunch. Later came John and Pam from
nearby Vero, FL (or was it Vero Beach?). They have a new Coleman Travel trailer
they are using for just the second time. A nice couple who happen to be
Christians. He spoke with a tone and reflection like Soren. I sure made me miss
my youngest grandson. John went to fill up on gas and LPG. The LPG was almost
still full and they wanted to charge $18 per tank just to check them. He passed
on it because we know one is completely full and the other has barely been
used. As far as I know, other than last minute things, we are all set for departure
in the morning.

Lunch time, celebratory, for our Cruise tomorrow.
The wine S&S gave us for Christmas was a
perfect paring! Thank you again!
