Finally blog time!!!!


I am beginning to think there is an evil presence in my computer working against my blogging this year!!!! "Out!!!! Be gone!!!!"
 
 
The night before we flew to Freeport, Grand Bahama, we stayed at the Sheraton Airport Hotel. That was after our good neighbour drove us to the bus in Huntsville where we boarded a bus to Barrie where our son Todd picked us up and drove us to the hotel. It is almost like we like to engage as many people in our departure as possible!!!!
 
 
We enjoyed a wonderful meal in the dining room and then the luxury of breakfast in our room the next morning. As we were checking out, I was a little surprised to see that we had racked up $177 in two meals and a couple of icy cold drinks. I took my larger case, now pause, you have to imagine this scene - we have 5 pieces of carry on, two large suitcases and a set of golf clubs - ofcourse we didn't want help with our luggage!!! We're tough. So, again, I take my large case in hand and small case in other hand which are both behind me and forget to hold the backpack situated on the top of the large case. It crashes to the floor and OMG my computer is inside. I can hear it crying, "I'm broke!!! I'm broke!!!!" What happened next with the computer is a whole story unto itself so more about that later. Off we go to the airport in the shuttle bus.
 

 
 
I love Westjet. If you are planning on coming to visit us remember that Westjet flies to Freeport on Mondays and Fridays. Two can fly here for about $1000 if you watch the seat sales.
 
 
As we were watching tv after dinner, we kept hearing this whooshing sound like a rapid transit train. Funny I thought this line wasn't finished but I was convinced I could hear a train. Maybe this is just a carry over from our Oct.-Nov. trip. Ray falls asleep and I decide to look again for the line. Ok, it comes pretty regularly so I will just stand here until the next train passes. We are on the 7th floor of an 8 storey hotel. I notice a light in the sky coming closer and closer at quite the speed and then whoosh right over my head. I ducked!!!! It was so close I could see the passengers and waved to them. I could read the numbers on the plane. OMG we were right on the flight path!!!!! Thank goodness that this ended about 11:00.
