Getting ready to move on - #41-04

January 11, 2004 (Sun) Englewood, FL - Well, we're getting ready to move again. We brought Q out of exile to reload so the only things left are sundries for one more night here. We leave tomorrow for Ed and Kathy's place in Lakeland, FL for a few days. Then we'll go over to the east coast and after a stop to visit Joy's uncle in Edgewater it's on to the Everglades. The map (from Mark's new DeLorme mapping program) shows our route so far and our projected route to the tip of Florida.

We've had a wonderful time here visiting with Joy's mother and her sister Frannie (after she arrived on Tuesday). We didn't swim as often as we'd hoped because it's been cold in the mornings - all the way down to 40 last night! (no need to feel sorry for us though, it's gotten up to 65 this afternoon) - but the bicycles got some use and we've done a little walking. But mostly we've been gaining weight from lack of exercise and eating too much.
