We're Off!

Sunday, January 11, 2009
Well thanks to great co-operation from my adjuster and exceptional effort by Ted from the body shop at Cambridge Chrysler, we got our van back in record time. I picked up the repaired van on Friday and we got away safely at 2:47 am. on Saturday. The first days drive was brutal, with snow covered roads and heavy snowfall from Erie to Pittsburgh and followed by driving rain most of the way to Charlotte. The city was hopping on Saturday as the Carolina Panthers were playing Phoenix Cardinals in the NFL Quarter-Finals that night (Panthers lost). We had a great dinner at Cracker Barrel and made a quick trip to Bass Pro before hitting the sack.
Sunday, we woke up to warm weather (64F) and dry roads and had an uneventful drive to Florida.

Here's the temperature as we reached Florida


We had to make a quick stop at the Florida Welcome Center for our complimentary drink of Orange Juice.


We arrived at Vistana Resort around 5:30 pm and were very pleased to be given a newly renovated unit in the Lakes Section. When we talk renovated, we mean right down to the walls! Just a gorgeous unit including 3 new flatscreen TVs and a Bose sound system! Great evaluation for my rec room when I return.

Unfortunately, all the weather stations are reporting a COLD snap this week. Temps will in the chilling 60's............ hahahahhahahaa!
