The plan was.to arrive home Sunday evening and spend the evening relaxing with our slowly expanding kitties…however our flight was delayed. After making repeated trips we were able to claim our free round trip tickets, our itinerary for today as well as upgraded seats to business class. So now its a matter of waiting. It’s been a terrific vacation however as Gramps was a very fine host and Florida has been pleasant to stay in.
Had a Greek lunch at hellas in spongetown. Yummy grouper. Before our tasty lunch we spent around an hour at the aquarium over here. Watching the locals feed the nurse sharks, enormous grouper (no relation to lunch) and various other local caught fish. Yummy!
Then after a great afternoon at the sponge docks we headed to Howard park. Spent the rest of the afternoon relaxing on the beach watching restive children and standing in freezing water. It was awesome!
Finally we met up with grandpa’s friend Sue (who had made us delicious cookies earlier) and had ice cream near Hudson park. Excellent day.
Today was pretty relaxed. This morning had a late lunch at the local ihop. Spent the early afternoon at the flea market nearby. Tina bought super neato sunglasses! After that we napped then headed to Leo and Joe’s for dinner. Tina and I then decided to explore Florida a bit. Took a long drive northbound on 19. After passing up Weeki Wachee we decided to head back only stopping at our new favorite Florida bar…the pickled parrot. Tina had a Killian and I a corona wanna be (land shark). We hung out and watched the locals for a bit then headed back to gramps condo. Good day. 
We’re at gramps. Both of us tired from the flight. Found an adhesive to glue back in my temporary cap which fell out Thursday morning. Hopefully won’t swallow it tonight.
We just landed in “hotlanta” really early. So early in fact that our terminal is still occupied with the last plane. .
We are at the airport sitting in a national coney island in north terminal. No line at check-in and no line are security. Minor delay there, Tina’s hip caught various scanners. Her hip, of course, is a known felon. No worries as they waved us through.
