Wednesday Jan 23-Sunday Jan 27 - Relaxing and Golf

Sunday 27 January 2013

Supposed to be cloudy and showers but no showers.  75 degrees so Derek decided to see if he could make it rain and went and got the truck washed. Instead the skies cleared so he ended up thoroughly waxing and seal coating the truck in advance of the Galveston salty air. Boy the truck looks good again.

Also spent time on Skype explaining the Europe trip plans with folks in UK, and catching up on laundry.

Today was a planning day. We haven’t really settled what we will do after the cruise and leading up to being in BC in early August. So the coffee pot went on and we spent pretty much the entire day checking web sites, frequent flyer points, flights etc. and finally booked. So its UK from April 6 until May 20 and then a few weeks in Toronto before heading back to Pheonix Jun 11 and resuming the Western State road trip.

Another big sunny warm day….we vegged and simply read our books, walked and relaxed. After all we are retired! And I think it was minus 8 C in Toronto. Sorry!!! Janice is feeling a bit homesick today... it will pass.

Happy golfers, great day

A bright sunny day; clear, not too humid, no bugs and 72 degrees F. Thus golf! Janice’s first game of the year we went to a municipal course almost in the middle of Austin called Lions. $25 each for 18 holes including cart. Can’t get much better. We went with a couple we have met here at the site, Donna and Chris, and the four of us had a great time. Beer on the patio at the club after the game, followed up with dinner at a Thai restaurant that was highly recommended. Enjoyed it, and it was great value, but we didn’t rate it quite as highly as the people who had recommended it.
