Florida, September 17 - 20, 2010

9/17/2010 Friday. Got upgraded to first class EWR-TPA, the 757 is used for international flights and have nice first class seats. Staying at the Chiu's Port Charlotte house with Peter. Dinner with Peter at Sakura buffet.

9/18/2010 Saturday. House inspection. Lunch and dinner with Peter at Iguana Mia in Cape Coral and Red Lobster in Port Charlotte.

9/19/2010 Sunday. A plumbing emergency at the house - couldn't shut the shower faucet. Managed to get the plumber across the street (TitanZ) to take a look. Lunch was takeout purchased by Peter. We then drove around and visited Englewood Beach (nice) and Boca Grande on Gasparilla Island. Talked to a local guy who was telling us how dangerous the current could be. He also complained about the crash in real estate prices in the area.

9/20/2010 Monday. Drove up to Tampa (Pinellas Park) and had lunch at Panera Bread with Paul King. Again got upgraded TPA-EWR.

Overall. Inexpensive trip since plane ticket was less than $200 and I stayed for free at the Chiu's house. Unfortunately the main purpose of the trip (to buy a house) may be for naught as the deal is falling through as I type this.
