Cousins Reunited

I drove up to Orlando last night and truly meant to blog, but got sidetracked by a mouthwatering, non-weightwatchers, fajita burrito accompanied by chips and salsa. The reason I drove to Orlando was that I had to pick FRD up at the airport in Tampa this morning. Now, for anybody that doesn't know their Florida geography, I basically drove four hours out of my way to go to Orlando last night. And that four hours actually became six, because I hit Orlando during rush hour traffic. Worried about the traffic, I left extra early to drive the 1 1/2 hours to Tampa to pick up FRD this morning. And I made excellent time. I arrived in Tampa for his 10:50 flight at 10:00. I figured with parking and what not, I would be ok. And then the cell rang. Apparently they were still sitting on the runway in Indy, because the couldn't achieve cabin pressure. Expected time of arrival pushed forward to 12:15. Two plus hours in Tampa, so I hit some random mall by the airport.

I finally got FRD around 12:30 and we had a leisurely drive back to Longboat while we caught up on everything and everybody. Of course, he had to do more talking than me because he has read this blog. In fact, as a I hoped, he is chomping at the bit to make his own blog. Which is where I head now.













FRD, Teenage Aerin, and Baby Rachel are reunited at the Longboat Beach house.
