Well after 17 months of planning, it is finally here.   We should be on the road by 10AM at the latest.   All is ready, just have to put the luggage straps on and load the car.    We are so ready for this vacation.    I will check in as we travel south, expect to arrive in Miami on Saturday evening and are staying at the Holiday Inn across from the Bayside Market.   Thank you all for your kind good wishes.   I look forward to meeting Martha on board as well as Peggy who both post here at Crazies.  I have met Peggy before but never met Martha a look forward to it.   Crazie is all packed and ready for some fun.<br /><br />Cheryl - you are so right, have been up for some time already.   Did not get a lot of sleep last night, couldn&#39;t turn off my brain.  &quot;Did I remember this, that or the other thing&quot;  Emptied the  dishwasher, ran a last load of wash and just waiting for Jim to get up and get moving.    I briefly considered vacuuming, but thought that would be a bit mean.   lol<br /><br />Chris - Hump day is Wednesday here across the pond.   Middle of the week and all down-hill to the weekend.    As for Red Hatters, Cheryl is right it is an organization for &quot;mature&quot; women over 50 and depending on which group you belong to they go on all kinds of trips, (casinos, etc.) and generally just have a great time.   Jenn is our Red Hatter here so she can explain better.   Jenn is from British Columbia so it is not just a US thing.<br /><br />Time to go put on the luggage straps - Jim just got up and I have to go quick make the bed before he decides to go back to bed.   I am so mean&#33;&#33;&#33;<br /><br />Make today special - I&#39;ll check in before we leave.    Keep the dock going while I&#39;m away.   First one up gets the job.   <br /><br />
