Title: South bound and down
Post by: Henry Hawk on January 16, 2009, 10:56:10 AM
Well, not so much down...but at dark-thirty, tomorrow morning, the wife and I are Orlando bound.  I have to attend a conference Monday through Thursday.  The wife is tagging along to enjoy a little, well-desrved, R&R..........we are planning on doing a little disney or universal studios on friday, before heading back.....We are gonna miss the kids, but we sure are ready to get a little break....my mother-in-law and sister-in-law have volunteered to step up and take care of them for duration.....

I just rented a chevy hhr.....not so much by choice, but by what was available at the avis rental at that time.

so after today, I probably won't be around for a week or so....

It's kinda' cool down here right now HH.  But it's probably a warmup from the weather you've had in IN.

Just checked the forecast and the temps are supposed to be in the 60s this weekend and early next week.

I hope you and Mrs. Hawk have a wonderful time. I know it's work, but I think it's so sweet that you can kinda turn it into some alone time. Have fun. :smile:

It appears that HH picked the wrong week as Florida is supposed to get its coldest air of the season Tuesday night, Wednesday, and Wednesday night.

Hi Tuesday in Orlando:  56
Lo Tuesday night:  29  :spooked:

Hi Wednesday in Orlando:  54
Lo Wednesday night:  29  :spooked: :spooked:

~~~~~

I'm not much better here.

Hi Tuesday in Fort Lauderdale:  72
Lo Tuesday night:  41

Hi Wednesday in Fort Lauderdale:  59   :spooked:
Lo Wednesday night in Fort Lauderdale:  41
