Sometimes the best laid plans just don't materialize.
We have enjoyed St Pete as a hurricane hole. It actually was a better place for the bayou gypsy than our own dock during hurricane Isaac.
Last time we were here, Jake & Michele joined us and we got tickets as delegates to the RNC at Tropicana Field. We met Bill Maloney from WVa. Hope he becomes governor!
Anyway, Our plans were to leave St Pete during late October and meander towards Key West. Laura signed up for the 2012-13 Leadership class and it meets the week between my 2 council meetings, so that drastically reduces our travel times.
Then, She closed on her new (100 year old) law office that hasn't been touched since it was partially gutted following Katrina. That is going to really cut down on boat time!
I am hopeful that we make it to Key West by December 1st, so we can enjoy Katie's 21st in Vegas, and Mom & Dads 50th on the 29th!
See y'all on the water
