Homeward Bound

Grand Turk was not to be!!

The waters were too rough to dock.

I said I would swim to shore but instead we turned around and started for home.

This gave us time to explore our ship.

The Valour represents 'Heros' like Caesar, Churchill,Kings and Queens, and Rosie.

It was nice that it recognized women's contribution to history.


During breakfast, I commented to Arnold that we were almost to March.

He said What?? We haven't even gotten to February!!

Oh.....My milk said it was good till Mar 4,2013!!


A month away.. that can't be right!!

That had to be a typo but all the milk said that!!

What is in that 'milk'??



I noticed that tons of people were running on the bottom bridge on Sunday morning.


It was the Miami Marathon!!


Our cruise had come to an end and it was time to head home.


At the airport, there was a language barrier

"Battle of the Spanish vs English"

'Juan' won.

We ended being pushed back a day.

Better in Miami than Minneapolis!!

We headed downtown to the Freedom Tower to explore for the day.



Bayside Market and South Beach!!



There is a tree in the middle of Bayside Open Market that is amazing.



This is ONE tree!!


 
It was off to the airport for a second time to try to get home.

All the signs in Florida were Spanish with a side order of English.

When we got to Minneapolis,

it was English with a side order of Chinese!!



So long Florida and warmth!!

 It was a good time.



Hello to the blizzard and -27C.

I am off to Kenossee, Saskatchewan for the weekend
 to sew by a fireplace with our Guild!

A different kind of getaway...

Snow,woods,the hum of sewing machines,
 and lots of laughs!!

Thanks to all the girls for changing it so I could come!!

Christa
Ps.
 I stocked up on limes and mint....
just 'cause it's cold doesn't mean you shouldn't stay refreshed!
