Bahama Mama just pulled into hearth and home after a 6-hour drive from Ft. Lauderdale to my place on the west central Gulf side. Man, am I beat! Up at 4:00 AM, plus lots of hauling luggage this morning. I'd be ready to sail again right now if I wasn't headed straight for bed.

We had a terrific time, weather was like you'd picture in a dream. We ate and shopped till we dropped (at least the ladies did. Never fear, the guys went along, too).

We missed Bob from NJ and Mrs. Bob very much. They've been on previous FReeps Ahoys. Praying for your dear one, Bob and Eileen. Please let us know how her health is progressing. This was a tough break. We hope all goes well.

We took gobs of photos including the mandatory "everyone-line-up-on-the-staircase" one. It's going to take time for our cruisers to get home, get unpacked, get food in the house, open a week's worth of mail, etc. etc.......so be patient till our official photographers, Graybeard 58 and Bizzy Bugz get organized. Many in our group are not home yet as I type. One freeper has a 4-5 day drive ahead of him.

However, patience is golden. The photos will be worth the wait and lots of fun.

Thanks to everyone for all your good wishes and "bon voyages" on this thread. They all came true and we had a bonny voyage, indeed.

I'll be back on this thread whenever I'm back in full operational mode again.....so save my place.
