Back Home In Loogootee

Home again!  Rolled into Loogootee last night just before eight after starting the day out in White Springs in northern Florida (just south of the Georgia line and north of US 10).  Had dinner at the Telford Hotel in White Spings Saturday night (Diane and I felt we had slipped into a Twilight Zone segment, being set back into the 1950's, not only with the dining but also the stay at the America's Best Value Inn, an older motel which nonetheless provided a great night of rest; the dinner at the Telford, a bed and breakfast, was buffet style and also excellent).  We got off the ship, the Carnival Liberty, Saturday morning after a seven day cruise that included stops in Cozumel, Belize, Mahogany Bay and the Cayman Islands.

Photo 1: Another NFL city skyline.  We went through four of them.  Can you correctly identify the above?  Hint: It's either Tampa Bay or Atlanta.

Photo 2: The extent of the golfing experience on board the Liberty: A couple on their way up to the top most deck to get in some putt-putt golf.  I failed to take advantage of the opportunity...



Btw, did get into our motel room Saturday in time to catch the last two minutes of the IU-KY basketball game on tv.  Pretty nice ending for the Hoosiers (okay, a really great ending for the Hoosiers).  Also, did get to watch Tiger win the Chevron Challenge (hurray squared!) last Sunday afternoon as we steamed away from Miami and down toward the Yucatan Peninsula.  Great drama with TW having to catch Zach Johnson, go up two, get tied and then even go down one only to birdie the last two holes to win by one.  Good stuff to say the least.  And yes, I loved it.

It's good to be back - will have more later.  And thanks for taking care of one of our cold weeks of winter.  A little warm up this week and maybe even some golf.
