Merry and Jeni are off to the sunny south Caribbean!

Well, The girls are safely on St. Thomas Island as of 10:00am this morning. This is a Travel Club trip. They were planning on Mexico, but last week plans were aborted due to all the problems brewing at the moment.
So Wanda, their intrepid advisor, sat with the travel agent late into the evening finding an alternative solution. Eventually they settled on a South Caribbean cruise.....whose flight left from Detroit Metro at 8:30am.......on Spring Forward Sunday..........which meant we had to be there at 6:30am......which meant we left the house at 4:30am. Did I forget to mention it was Spring Forward?
Not a lot of sleep for anybody. Luckily I have figured out how to knock Grandpa out so he is no longer rambling the house in the wee hours.
They flew into Puerto Rico yesterday afternoon, taxied over to the cruise ship and had a relaxing dinner aboard the ship.
From the sounds of things everybody went to bed relatively early last night. I was glad because last year everybody got real sick and I figured if they got a good night's sleep last night they would be able to play hard all week and do just fine.
Normally I don't get cabin fever too much. This year is an exception! I want some sun and warmth too.
