Woke up to a lovely fresh morning and Tina and I packed the car up super early after making sure all the cases were packed the night before. It was still dark when we left the woodland setting Tina lives in and by the time we came closer to Washington it was light and already getting warm.
It was a tearful farewell and I was sad to leave her just like I had when I left Colleen... two very special ladies that made my life just wonderful... It was a special time and althought I was not feeling too well in the last day of Washington Tina looked after me very well.
The flight to Atlanta was uneventful but the scenery was lovely... In Atlanta there was a security scare when someone left a lap top case on the counter at McDonalds... Went and bought a coffee there and I noticed this case that was left behind from before I got there... about 15 minutes later I knew it had been left so I approached one of the staff and they prompltly told their manager who called security. This has happened many times before but each time they treat it with the seriousness of something threatening.
Unless you experience something like this first hand it looks like something out of a movie, both exciting and the potential to be frightening... within minutes there was a police woman guarding the case and she ushered everyone away from the object... then another officer with a German Shepherd came and sniffed the case thoroughlly until his handler were satisfied there wasn't a bomb about. The officer opened the case, looked inside then took the case away...
I was thanked by the female Police woman for being a good citizen and also by the Manager of McDonald's.... Woooo Hooooo!!!!
The time soon went along and I caught my flight to Daytona where I was greeted by my dear friend Sandy with a Clash of the Titans poster... Woooo Hooo!!! What a scream!!! Loved it!!!!... Only the MMIFFS possums will know what this means!!!!
We drove home, I freshened up then we went to the beach for some yummy food in one of the many sea side cafe's and we had Martini's... Woooo Hoooo!!!! Sooo Yummy!!!!
We walked along the beach and saw the sandpipers dancing and running away from the waves... too gorgeous!!!!
Later we went to the supermarket and I can not get over the fact they have food, liquor and pharmacy in the one store!!!! Sooo amazing...
Home to bed as we were both tired and ready for another day of sightseeing... Still feeling very unwell so I talked over the options with Sandy and I decided that I need to cut my trip short and head back to Australia...
So tomorrow will be the last day in Daytona so will phone Rhonda and Kathy to let them know.
Loved your blog entries!! Read most of them only now and I wonder if you're back home by now? Wherever you are, you seemed to have a great time so you'll never forget this :)
