Home!

  Well we made it! In one piece. We hit a North Carolina snow storm....no offence NC but your idea of winter weather and mine is totally different. They don't have the equipment to clear the roads properly and no one has winter tires so while we had few problems, many were not so lucky.

  One thing John noticed, and complained very loudly about, was the fact that no one had their lights on. In poor visibility, lights are a drivers best friend. In Canada our cars are equipped with daytime running lights so we are always lit up. Not the case on U.S. cars. Many times you didn't know a car was behind you til it was almost ramming into you.

  Over all the drive was uneventful. Lots of deer. Lots of palm trees. That's about it. The miles whiz by in a blur and before we knew it we had arrived. Let me state for the record though....Orlando traffic + 28 degree temps + no air conditioning = a long half hour in anyone's books. Let alone four people leaving the snow behind for a few weeks!

  Now we must get back to reality. Snow, cold, school and laundry. Lots and lots of laundry. 

  But it sure was fun while it lasted!
