We have arrived in Ellenton, Florida

We finally made it to Ellenton, Florida (which is near Bradenton, and south of Tampa), after our nice visit with Linda (and Caitlin). Traffic was very bad in Georgia - a 70 minute trip took us over 5 hours. We had some major issues with the place that we were originally booked in to, but our agent moved us to another unit which we are very happy with.

Since arriving on Sunday, as well as lots of unpacking, cleaning then packing and moving and unpacking again, we have been to a cocktail party with Lori's friend from line dancing, and went to the New Years Eve party, which actually lasted past midnight. Everyone is very friendly, and there are lots of activities here, and I expect to join the pool, computer club etc.

I will be getting hi speed internet and cable TV hookup on Saturday, so until then I am using the wi-fi in the Community Hall, with the exercise class going on as I type now (very scenic). I will also get phone hookup with unlimited long distance (only in America), so we will be better able to keep in touch with you all.

Will post more photos when I get connected.

Happy New Year to the Crawford and Storey clans!
