Florida - First Couple Days

And so it begins! After the nine-hour flight to Florida (2 books, 2 movies,
2 meals, 2 drinks, 2 diet cokes, 2 to-do lists - 0 naps) we arrived in Tampa
and headed off to Bill and Joe's to pick the car up. It was in great shape
(might be the best it has looked ever) and they were as fun and cheery as
ever. Then down to St. Pete to find the condo where we'll be staying for
the next three weeks while we do the trip preparation. Condo is very nice
(tropical motif throughout) and convenient to the marina and various boat
'stuff' stores.

The first non-travel day was spent getting groceries, checking out the boat
(currently out of the water having its bottom repainted - looks very good,
btw), checking the mail (no car or boat registration decals waiting (sigh)),
and having a Chinese. Bill stopped by with the rest of the luggage which we
couldn't fit in the car. We tried to watch An Affair to Remember, but too tired. We were sound asleep by 8:00!
