So, I’m THIS close to the Gulf Coast and it is actually warm out there, but it’s raining and the next few days will be grey and overcast. Darn it! I would have been glad for chilly temps with sunny skies. Oh, well, no sense looking a gift horse in the mouth. Tomorrow, I will get to frolic on a beach off the Gulf of Mexico! Now, where did I put the sandals?

Tomorrow’s plan is a bit zippy as I want to cover a lot of ground, but I really don’t want to spend tons of time in the area since I am planning to be in New Orleans for a week. But by the end of the day, I will have most definitely and not just technically been to Florida!

Question: how did I get to be so lucky?

Answer: I worked my ass off to get here. These kinds of lives have to built. They don’t happen on their own.
