Shortly after we arrived we hopped a plan to Cincinnati to attend a wedding and catch up with friends and family. Our plane was late to arrive and looking at flight tracker we began to wonder if we wanted to fly with this guy or not!
Once the plane got in they made a quick turn around and we were on our way. They were nice enough to give us a fly by of our marina on the way out.
The visit was nice but went by quickly, sorry, no pictures. We are fortunate that friends have an extra car that they wanted moved down here so we drove back and now have the use of a car for the first time in almost 2 years!
Jill's sister Amy was down to her place in Hudson so we drove up to visit for a bit. Having a car is pretty cool. It was a short stay also but she and Alyn have plenty to do to get the house ready for retirement and we didn't want to slow them down.
Once back we made good use of the car and have been checking out the Ft. Myers area. Our friend Mike came in for a few days and we covered even more ground. Of course we were able to find some local breweries...
And took a nice boat ride down to Ft. Myers Beach to get fuel and give the engine repair a good test. All seems to be working fine now but our fingers will remain crossed for awhile longer.
The marina is very nice and an easy walk into downtown with it's many shops and restaurants. It's the rainy season they say and we're treated to showers and thunderstorms about every afternoon. They usually break up in time to give us a very nice sunset.
So that's what we've been up to in case you've been wondering. This weekend my sister Kathy and hubby Ron are coming down to spend some time with us. We're planning a trip to the Keys so should have some "blog worthy" material in a few weeks. The tracker will be live again starting next Monday so tune in if you want to follow along. I'll try to remember to send out a Tweet also for those that are following @mvchasing80.
One other notable event was Jimmy Buffett's 50th show at Riverbend Music Center in Cincinnati. I'll have to say I made at least half of them. While we couldn't be there this year we were able to enjoy the festivities courtesy of YouTube/MargaritavilleTV.
