Bang is the sound that Barb heard as she backed out of her driveway on her way to pick up Linda this morning. She side swiped the newspaper delivery person's car which was parked next to her driveway. In Barb's defense, she usually doesn't leave her house at this early hour of the morning, so she hadn't ever seen this person park here before.
We still made it to airport in plenty of time to catch the 7 a.m. flight. The flight to Minneapolis was fast and smooth. About 10:45 we left for Ft. Lauderdale. The flight took about 3 hours and 2 minutes and was smooth until the end when it got a little bumpy, but not bad. We all sat next to great people that visited with us and shared their lives with us.
We landed in Ft. Launderdale about 3:15 Eastern time. After picking up our luggage we met with the Holland American lady who told us not to go outside and wait for the bus because it was cold out there. Obviously she hasn't been to ND in February. We caught the bus to the Westin where we checked in and got our orders for boarding the ship tomorrow. We are really wondering why we have to have our luggage ready for them to pick up at our rooms by 9 a.m. and we aren't even leaving the motel until 12:15 p.m.! No sleeping in tomorrow.
Just finished dinner in the motel bar. Expensive, but good tasting burgers were tried by all.
We are excited to see our ship tomorrow and set sail on a great adventure.

Good God! Not the AVALON! Hope the bang was the Mercedes. It's a balmy 34 degree day, sunshine and no wind so Molly and I are on our way to the frozen lake to check out ice houses and evaluate insane middle age men with small fishing poles hunched over a hole in the ice listing for a bell to ring.
