Last day.       The last supper             

“Laid back” is spelled “Friday”. This is our second last day on the adventure and unfortunately the pre-travel, pre-return blues have set in slightly, making for slow decisions and slow movements!

Anyway, will keep you all updated on our progress…… Read More 22 August … en route Marco Island
