Sitting in Florida: almost 2005

Just sitting here at 8.24pm December 31, 2004 in the Hampton Inn in St Augustine Beach, Florida (using my wireless laptop). I am now overlooking the pool and ocean from inside while sitting in the restaurant area.

Sandra, I and The Boys headed down by car from Toronto leaving Wednesday morning Dec 29th at around 9.30am. We arrived in Florida this morning to decent weather for this time of year. The drive down was fine. We have a pretty good system to manage the time in the car. We tend to drive fro 4-5 hours in the a.m. and then take a break after lunch and start driving again around 4pm to get in another 4-5 hours max. At the end of each day we have covered about 600 miles - and The Boys seems to not mind the time in the car that way.

We are heading to Tampa tomorrow to spend a couple of days and then back up towards Savannah for some walking and exploring. We are not planning to start driving back to Toronto untiol Thursday morning or so - and hope to be back in town by Saturday afternoon.

Happy New Year to all - and to all a wonderful 2005. May we keep those suffering in Asia in our prayers tonight.

Your time management strategy with your kids is refreshing. Good for you that you don't rely on a DVD, and that you don't gripe about the time you've been blessed with. Never view a blessing as a burden.
