New Year's Eve, and I'm writing my last blog of the year. We had a great Christmas with the family, a lot of running around. Hope every one's Christmas was great.
We left Bakersfield on the 26th, Danny didn't even want to go out to breakfast for his birthday, he wanted John's Burger, so Kim went and picked up breakfast. After I finished laundry Dave packed up everything and we hit the road for Simi Valley. Dave left his leather jacket at David Jr's so we had to go pick that up, then we went to "The Hat" for pastrami sandwiches. Best pastrami in the world, we got 3 sandwiches, we split one for lunch, then headed for our hotel near LAX. We then split another one for dinner, and the 3rd one I packed in the suitcase. Our plane was late leaving on the 27th, which was no big deal to us because we had a 3 hour lay over in Denver, and it was snowing, we were stuck on the plane for 40 min. once we landed because they had no open gates that we could pull in to. We really started to worry about if we were going to be able to fly out of Denver anyway, but we did and it was only 1 hour late. We got to our hotel in Florida about 11:30pm as we headed for our room the fire alarm went off. Everyone was coming out of their rooms and we all headed to the parking lot, we put our suitcases in the car and headed for TGI Fridays. We sat at the bar until about 1am, after the fire department left the hotel, we headed for our room, and that's when we split the 3rd sandwich, I was so happy the bag handlers at the airport didn't steal my sandwich.
Anyway, Friday we picked up Valley and went and got the coach then drove back to 1000 Trails, where we will stay until 1/2/08 then it's back on the road again, headed for Texas. Yesterday we went to breakfast with Lee and Vicki then headed for the Disney Animal Park, the place was sooo crowded, it was a nightmare, we didn't stay long. Tonight we are walking over to Gene and Bobbie's coach and will BBQ and visit with them, that's our big New Years plans, I know we won't make it to midnight so will have to record the dropping of the ball.
Hope you have a nice and safe New Years.
