               Dodging the "Sandy" Bullet in Florida!!

    

Westminster, CO - When we planned for our trip to Florida to visit family and enjoy some fun on the beaches outside St. Augustine, 5 months earlier, we really did not expect a Hurricane like Sandy to play a role in our trip.

As we were packing and getting ready for that 6am flight out of Denver International Airport, this last Tuesday, we wondered if "Sandy" would impact Chicago and how much it had impacted Florida!  To our surprise, we actually dodged Sandy's wrath, but did have to deal with the cooler weather that hit Florida east coast.

As you can see, the St. Augustine Beach picture, was really a very nice comfortable weather condition for a walk out on the beach.  The temperatures were around the 60-70 deg range.  It really turned out great!!

My wife, Marsha, is certainly enjoying the waters in her bare feet!!  She was amazed at how many sea shells had washed up upon the beach, and YES, she did save a few, no quite a bit, NO ... 3 cups of sea shells to bring back home to Denver.

Right now, I am sitting in a hotel close to Universal Studios enjoying some very good coffee and "no fat" danishes... right!!  A trip planned to CityWalk and Universal with some family and enjoying such wonderful comfortable temperatures!! 


Our prayers go out to those in the NorthEast and what they are going through with the "disaster after" ordeals.  The need for water, food, and gas is just overwhelming!  While we are enjoying our vacation, there are others out there 'hurting" and in need of many items to just get back to a normal life!! 

Please, take the time to keep them in your prayers and help them in whatever way you possibly can!!

Dan, It is important that life continues in other parts of the country or they too will be crippled. We need to do what we can to support those affected by Sandy.

Debbie, thanks for the comment.  Yes, life does continue for those fortunate to not have these natural disasters to deal with.  Yet, we cannot forget the other folks that are hurting!!  Have a great weekend!!

Dan- glad that you're enjoying your Florida trip.  We were mesmerized last weekend watching the waves at Delray Beach.  The surfers were out in full force to take advantage of that rare wave.  Let's hope those in the NY and NJ area will soon get their power back on and begin getting back to some semblance of normalcy. d

Your timing was very good and we're expecting another storm, the middle of next week.

Hi Joe, yes you are right, timing is everything!  We hope to be heading home on Election Day in the afternoon, so we might just miss the next storm front.
