Well we're back. We drove straight through from Daytona Beach to Collierville and it took us about 15 hours. Corey and I did most of the driving.:cry2: We got in about 1:00 am and went right to bed. I have a lot of catching up to do -- here and at home. The internet connection at the hotel in Daytona Beach was absolutely horrible. Every time I logged on to the Shack and typed a few sentences, the connection got knocked off so if I was chatting with you and you didn't get a response from me, I wasn't ignoring you -- I just got dropped and after it happening every time, I decided it wasn't worth my time so I shut down the computer and forgot about it until today.
All I have to say is if you ever have the opportunity to meet any other shackies, just do it! If you don't think it will happen, try to make it happen. I had the best time meeting up with Ethel, Cheri, Asela, Erin and Pat. It was a major highlight of my trip. These girls are just so super nice; I felt like I was spending time with old friends. I hope we can meet up again real soon as I have a feeling I'll be visiting Daytona Beach quite a lot.
I want to extend a special thanks to Cheri who was so sweet to pick me up at the hotel and drive me around to all the places we visited. You know when you talk to these girls at the Shack that they are so sweet but when you meet them in person you learn for a fact that they really are that sweet and it just makes it extra special. Thanks for all you've done for me, Cheri. And I also want to thank Erin, Asela and Pat for driving quite a distance just so we can all meet; and Ethel was on her way back to Tampa when she agreed to me up with me and Cheri for lunch.
So I just want to say that I had a terrific time in Florida but it always feels good to be back home and to sleep in your own bed.:D
