Florida, April 15 - 19, 2010

4/15. Got upgraded to first class. International configuration meant a log of leg room. Too bad this wasn't a lunch or dinner flight, so all we got were pretzels.

4/16. Lunch with Pastor Al and Miss Ruth at the Palm Grill of Shell Point.

4/16 & 4/17. Both afternoons: toured different properties with Tony of ReMax. Dinner with Hwangs & McNally's at University Grill.

4/18. Morning. Went to Ding Darling National Park with David & Helen. Very few birds though. The Hwangs returned to the Tampa area. We went to Park Alliance Church for their 1:30 pm afternoon service. Lunch at Five Guys in Cape Coral; Dinner at Bob Evans.

4/19. Stuck around the hotel in the morning while Anne went to Curves. Short tour of Rotary Park. After lunch at the FirstWatch Restaurant we went to Manatee Park; unfortunately no manatees probably because of the warm weather. We then walked along the trail in the Six Mile Cypress Park.

We again got upgraded to first class and enjoyed a hot meal en-route. Ran into James on the train. He studied computational linguistics in Taiwan. Walk home pleasant in the cool evening air.
