Our flight to Florida (Misha, Chris and Jo) left early Sunday morning. Amy's flight was landing at the same time we were leaving the house on Sunday morning.
Misha came home Saturday evening to do some laundry...after a quick to Buccees with her friends since one of them hadn't been to the mega convenience store yet (Chris and I live about ten minutes from it and haven't been yet).
I had to leave the house spic and span clean since our new realtor is coming with a photographer on Monday to take more interior and exterior pictures.
We arrived at the airport with plenty of time before our flight. Misha made a stop at Voodoo Donuts and Jamba Juice for a smoothie.
Chris declared his sprinkle donuts one of the best that he has had in a long time.
Our flight was uneventful. We barely missed the upgrade.
Amy returned to the airport with her rental car, turned it in, and then met us at our new rental car. Good thing she had already dropped her luggage off, I don't think it would have all fit!
Our vacation rental is a vacation home that one of Chris co-workers owns. He rented it to us for the week. We drove for over an hour and half before arriving in Nokomis, close to Naples and Venice Florida.
The rental has three bedrooms, two bathrooms, an enclosed outdoor pool and spa, and plenty of places for us to spread out.
For dinner, we went to Mi Pueblo. Amy was craving guacamole. If we had wanted to sit inside, the wait was 45 minutes. The staff turned on the outdoor heaters by our table and we enjoyed the twinkling Christmas lights on the palm trees.
It was Kristen's P-Day so we chatted with her off and on throughout the afternoon. As you can imagine, being away from home and family for the holiday was hard for her. We will get to chat with her again on Christmas Day.
