I’m Back!

After a 2.6 week vacation/holiday, 3,456 miles (5561.893) Kilometers) put on our car and almost 1500 pictures taken we made it back home safely. We had one night when there were tornado watches; that was a little scary since we have never been in an area that was prone to tornadoes before! The next day we had to drive a few hours in a severe thunderstorm but all ended well.

Now we have to get back in our normal routines while I slowly sort through the pictures, most of which are just simple vacation pictures and not works of art

I’ll get back to listening to the new music as soon as I can.

Suddenly I realized how many proctologists are on the road.

The winner gets a full week in Buffalo, the loser has to stay a full month.

Nice tan Mario (and Mac).

Where's the pictures?

Runner-up: Of all of the losers, you came in first.

Welcome back, Mario I'm glad you converted to kilometres. I didn't have my calculator with me when I read your post. That's a long way.

Thanx all!

John, yes I did go through Buffalo and back, via Florida!

Don, well staying in Buffalo during the hockey season wouldn’t be too bad but staying there during the football season would be terrible! But I have to look at the bright side, I finally came in first at something

Noel, yes it is.

Mac, I think there's an entire genre of jokes that can be summed up with the line, "Second prize is two weeks in Atlantic City."

Glad you got through the bad weather, Mario -- how was the rest of the trip?


Best,

Thanx Tom and Gdaddy.

Tom the rest of the trip was fantastic. We only had bad weather that one night and half of the following day.

Gdaddy, we were in Palm Bay, Kissimee, Panama City while we were if Florida. We then spent one night in Biloxi Mississippi where I met one of the nicest couple on the whole planet. It was also the first time that I have met a fellow forum member face to face. We have joked around on the forum before but we didn’t realize how similar we really are until we met. In fact we are calling ourselves Twins from Different Mothers. That fantastic person is DannyC. Thanx for the great time Danny!
