The return to Orlando

Every good time must come to an end. We did spend some time at the beach and enjoy walking for quite awhile. The weather was nice and warm with only a little ocean breeze. Life is good. We did have to walk somewhat carefully to avoid some sort of bluish jellyfish,but not a problem since the beach was so wide. We did stop at a local watering hole and discovered there is an "Idiots Club" that meets every Sunday at this bar. They enjoy themselves and this weekend they had their "Winter Olympics" of the luge and another ice activity that was performed in the parking lot. The club dues and such support local organizations so the money for being an idiot is well spent.








There are also lots of various types of birds that enjoy the lovely beaches and ocean. There are those that swarm the trees and buildings both early morning and early evening. It was fun but now to return back to reality and plan our next escape to somewhere fun.

Passing ship

South Padre Island is windy and hazy but vey relaxing. Here is a boat going through the channel. The birds are also pretty active too, early in the morning and early evenings is when they seem


to have their voice lesson practice. They are hanging out in the palm trees.

Trying to get there!!!!!

Maybe we will get there yet today. We were to leave from (MCO) Orlando at 7:30 am this morning headed to Houston first, but due to airplane problems that was not to happen. We sat on the plane for a long time before we were all told to take all of our belongings with us and we would know more by 9 am. At that time we had sketchy info about a hydraulic issue that would take an extended amount of time. Another airplane might possibly be coming in and we might depart shortly. Hmmmmmm. We had to rebook for this other flight as well as try to figure out when we might actually be able to get our connecting flight to Brownsville. We actually left Orlando about 11 whereby we did miss our connecting flight to Brownsville but we were rebooked for a later flight. We landed and found a United Club and eventually relaxed with some liquid refreshments after a lunch voucher from a United. We have friends picking us up in Brownsville, so we are changing their plans for the day too. We should arrive before sunset over South Padre Island. :-).

South Padre Island Here We Come

We will soon be on our way to South Padre Island to visit friends and enjoy the lovely beaches. It looks like it will be lovely weather but one never knows. It is always good to have a jacket packed along with your summer shorts and beachwear.
