We live about 2 hours south of Cape Canaveral. The weather has been beautiful and I am watching the sunset! I can't imagine having snow in the forecast! burrr...

Last fall I lived in Ohio and was dealing with the icky-cold-winter-is-coming weather.

Now, I'm living in FL and WOW! I'm LOVING the sun and warmth!

If everyone is talking weather, in San Diego it actually got cold enough to wear pants to work. It was all way down to the low 70's (lows of mid 40's overnight). It is welcome because it has been in the mid 90's most of last month. I guess us San Diegans are spoiled with tempatures usually not varying more than 20 degrees.

We went to San Diego last fall and it was BEAUTIFUL!! A bit breezy one day, but otherwise lovely weather. My dad was on the Midway when he was in the Navy and we really enjoyed touring that. And the San Diego zoo. We stayed at the Hotel Del using DVC points.

I've lived here all my life, but never stayed at the Del, was it worth the points?

It is rainy and chilly in the Boston area. I month ago I was on the Wonder after spending a wonderful day at CC!! I wish I was there now.

Easier to direct you to my blog post about it rather than type it all out again. Besides, the pictures help tell the story.....

Okay, here's a question.
Do car rental companies have shuttle service from the port to the rental company? I can't seem to find that info anywhere.
Last year we were able to go on a Hawaiian cruise and every port we stopped in there were shuttles from at least 5 car rental companies picking up renters and taking them to the rental cars. So I was hoping they do the same at Port Canaveral.

I know Avis and Budget do for sure. There might be a few others but I'm not 100% on that. We've used Avis a few times with great success. Mark would drop me and the luggage off at the port and then drop the car off at Avis and ride back on the shuttle. Same thing after the cruise. He'd grab the shuttle while I waited in the pick-up area with the luggage. He'd soon be back with the car and we were on our way.

Good morning everyone - TGIF!

Mark and I have a nice long weekend together.

THIS IS THE WAY TO DO IT! I wish EVERYONE would do it this way! Because the lines get long for the shuttles when they are trying to fit in the entire family AND all the luggage. But if people would just send one-non-luggage-laden person from the group to ride the shuttle and then come back and get the rest of the family/luggage, it would go SO MUCH FASTER!

From the NHC forecast, they are showing the storm to be going through the Bahamas on Wednesday, that should keep them safe and let them get the place cleaned up before they get there...

Glad to hear it won't "hit" CC. The weather channel map looked like it was going to hit there! Annmarie
