Are we snowbirds?

After Steve's visit, we got busy getting Sari Timur ready for winter.  By Thursday 1500 hours, we were as ready as can be.  We drove up to Anchorage to have dinner with Steve and then to the airport to board our midnight (Alaska time) flight to Orlando, Florida.

After a transfer in Denver, we got to Orlando at 1330 hours (Florida time) on Friday.  We drove to Merritt Island to spend 2 nights with Aunt Anita and Uncle Mike.  We have not seen them since summer of 2014 and it was really great to see them again.  We had a home cooked dinner with them and Aunt Trudy.

On Saturday, we went to Yen Yen, a Chinese restaurant we had been to during our last visit in 2001.  We had a really nice visit with Jeff and Linda, Madison and Aunt Anita and Uncle Mike.  And the food was yummy!

On Sunday, after mass, we drove to Jensen Beach to spend a few hours with Terry (Mark's friend from college) and Charlene and their kids, Dustin and Avery plus their partners.  Dustin has just became a daddy of a cute little boy.  And nice boiled shrimps too, thank you Terry.

Then it was time to drive down to Fort Lauderdale to check into our accommodation.  We met the host and got to know him better during dinner.

Pauline starts her classes tomorrow for the next two weeks, while Mark will be looking for work.  Nothing is cast in stone until Mark finds a job and Pauline gets her certification and land a job too.
