I don't know about the rest of you guys, but they've been gone 3 days now and no report -- not even a virtual postcard on TOC! They're either all having too much fun or they're in jail! Whaddya' think?

Jail. Seriously. :nyah:

We're having too much fun. BT and JTM both say "HI!". Weather has been a beautiful but a little chilly at times. We arrived in Ocala today after spending three days in Wellington. It was AMAZING! I've never seen such a collection of beautiful horseflesh. We had dinner with JTM's old trainer, Bob Sharpe who rolled out the red carpet for us with steaks and drinks and stuff. We've been gorging on great food and I've been doing my best to keep everyone awake with my raucous snoring. :lol:

We're missing you guys!!! Zbar comes to see us tomorrow and we're very excited about that!!

Kiss kiss.

Hey guys! We are all back now....safe and sound....and cold :sigh:

We had a super time :clap: A real blast with Jilli and Z and checking out both horse shows :clap: :clap:

I worried about how it would go when on the way to the Buffalo airport, JTM and I were pulled over at the border as I had a "common name" :o Personally, I didn't think it was that common, until they informed me that it meant that there was someone with the same name who had an arrest warrant out for them :brickwall: After about 20 minutes in the compound, they gave us our passports back and on we went. A bit of an ominous start to the holiday :oops:

It wasn't until we got to the airport that we heard about the crappy weather happening along the East US and started to worry a bit when the first plane left an hour and fifteen minutes late ( of course we hit a pub and had a bite to eat and consequently almost missed the plane when it left from 2 gates away), leaving us with 20 minutes to get our connection in Newark :duh: . We made it to Orlando and met up with Jilli while waiting for my suitcase that they had put on a plane coming in 2 hours later :brickwall: Grabbed our spiffy Cobalt at Avis and were FINALLY on the road about 13 hours after we left home ( we would have been more than half way there if we had been driving :sigh: )

Luckily Mr Jilli phoned ahead when we figured out how far we would get that night and booked a super room for us at a hotel they had stayed at the last time they were there for the shuttle launch. It was so good to get into the room after picking up some snackies and beer and start the party :cheer: :woot: :clap: :cheer:

Onto West Palm Monday morning, a bit cool for the Texan in our midst but way warmer than the snowy north JTM and I had come from. The drive was shorter than we had originally thought and we headed directly to the horse show to check out where people were stabled and who was around. for the next three days we spent most of our time watching the gorgeous hunters go, a few jumper classes, a Louise Serio clinic, hung out at Bob's farm off the show grounds, chatted with the many Canadians that were showing and shopped both on the grounds and at the great mall close by. We hadn't seen the new footing in the International ring and found it interesting (although kind of missed the grass). Beautiful horse after beautiful horse, <3 Just WOW <3 Great dinner at Bob's one night and went to City Place another so had lots of fun as well :cheer: :martini: :cheer:

Thursday morning we headed north to Ocala which was just over a 3 hour drive ( a pleasant surprise as we were expecting it to take a fair bit longer). JTM's current trainers are there so we were able to watch a few riders from her barn go. Jilli was able to change her flight to Saturday and stay a day longer and Z came up on the Friday and stayed overnight. Friday night we went to a super little restaurant for dinner and then went back to our hotel and watched the shuttle launch from the neighbouring playground with our bevvies in hand :one: Very, very cool. Saturday Z took Jilli back to the airport in Orlando and JTM and I hung out at the horse show and did some shopping for the last 2 days before flying out Monday at noon. The flight home was without delays thank goodness, but this time they completley lost JTM's suitcase! Unbelievable :no: I think it will be only direct flights from now on for us. At least that way our bags will hopefully go to the same location as we do and at the same time ;)

It was a super trip, lots of fun and it will take a bit of adjusting to get back into the routine now that we are home again :yes: Only about 350 days before....... ;)

It was so nice to have company in the car on the way to Orlando so I was more than happy to take miss JIT to the airport.
