Tues Feb 8th

We got up around 8:00AM with trepidation in the air. I think everyone was sad for the visit to come to an end. I took my shower, and when I came out Terry and Joann were beginning their packing.

nice shorts Terry!

After they had concluded their packing job was sufficient and they had everything packed we went out to the patio to relax a while.

I need more coffee!

While sitting out there chatting, we  decided to go get lunch down by the ocean for a farewell feast. Their plane did not leave until 3 in the afternoon, and it was only 10:30am. We loaded up the car ad went down to the pool to have a last look before they flew north.

Pool party

We then got into the car and headed south towards Ft Lauderdale. We were going to The Deck, a restaurant across the street from the beach, as we had a coupon for that place. Bonnie and I had eaten there before, and the views are spectacular. We got there at 11:15 and had no trouble finding a table facing the ocean.

what a view

I ordered a cheeseburger in paradise, Bonnie and Joann both ordered BLTs and Terry ordered a hot dog and fries. After consuming our food, I conducted an exit interview and here it is...

We stayed sitting there, admiring the view and chatting until 1:15, when we realized it was time to go. I saw captain hook standing beside the staircase down, so I got a picture of the captain and his crew of pirates.

Back to the pirate ship mateys

We drove the 15 minutes to the airport, found a parking space and unloaded the luggage.

Unloading the luggage

We walked them inside the airport and I supervised getting them their boarding passed via the auto check in machine. We then stepped outside so we could get one last group photo...

Time for departure..bon voyage

Then we returned inside for hugs and what not. We watched them walk through security and went back to the car. Bonnie and I were sad to see them go. We were also sad that they had to go back to that terrible weather....YUCK! 9 below? Again I say YUCK!
We had a great time and now it was time to go back home and figure out what we were going to do for the rest of the day. We ended up just hanging out at the condo. I laid on the sofa when we got home and fell asleep for an hour. We watched biggest loser and the news, and Bonnie fell asleep on the sofa, and I was
playing on the computer. It is now late and I gotta get to bed. Who knows what tomorrow may bring.
