Rob and I were planning a pre-Loop trip to Florida to visit our daughter and son-in-law at their beautiful new home outside of Ft Myers in mid-December (see photo.) Flights were made, luggage was packed (200 pounds of boat stuff) and we were ready! Those plans came to a screeching halt when the cohort of friends and family that drove with them across the country contracted Covid19. It would be too soon for them to travel before we were to arrive. So, in addition to "No room at the Inn," we didn't want to expose ourselves to the dreaded Covid19 virus...
So, we stayed home and planned to travel to Ft Myers earlier in January to make-up for the missed December Trip. Of course, now, the 200 pounds of aforementioned "boat stuff," in addition to all of our clothes, and miscellaneous stuff we need to set up a boat to live on for a year, required buying a trailer to haul it all to Florida. Check, got that done... we were all set to lift off on the 7th of January. Then a funny, not so funny, thing happened.... yep, you guessed it, we both got Covid19. Now we are recovering and hoping to leave for Alison and Dylan's Florida oasis sometime mid-January.
