Getting ready for another Thanksgiving and a cruise

Well the last week or so has been relaxing. Sue and I have been exploring the area more checking out some of the state parks in the area and of course the beaches. The weather has been unseasonably hot with day time temps in the the mid 80's and night time temps staying around the 60's We visited my cousin Sandra and her husband who have a place just south of us near Port Charlotte and had an enjoyable seafood meal with them at fisherman's wharf in Punta Gorda. We have been out numerous times eating with our new friends in the park and of course Sues cousin Bill and his wife Phyllis. They have taught us a new card game hand and foot and we have been over playing that a few times. Today is American Thanksgiving and we will be joining Bill and Phyllis for dinner with some of their friends. Just what I need another big meal. We are also in the process of packing everything up as we pull the rig out of here on Saturday and put it into storage. Whew we will really be homeless then as we "mooch" off friends and relatives until after the holidays when we return back here to pick up the rig again.
We are staying with Bill and Phyllis Saturday and Sunday nights and at 6:15 am Monday catch a shuttle bus from Sun City Center to Fort Lauderdale to board the Emerald Princess for a 10 day cruise to Aruba, Bonaire, Grenada, Dominica, U.S. Virgin Islands, Princess Cays, Bahamas, then back to Fort Lauderdale where we will board our plane back to Toronto. Scott will pick us up there ...... Looking forward to seeing friends and relatives not sure I'm looking forward to snow and cold. newest pics have been posted here.
