Cruise, short stay in Florida, long trip to AZ

 
After our return to Florida from Upstate New York, we took a short cruise to Key West and the Bahamas.  We took Syracuse Orange along on the cruise.  He liked Key West a lot!

 

 
 We spent a few days at Juno Beach RV Resort.  The weather was windy and somewhat cool for Florida.  But we had a chance to take care of moving the rest of the stuff out of our house we put up for sale, and had time to visit with family.   We were able to listen to Tom Hernandez play with a band, (woo hoo Tom, stop playing doctor and be what you really are!), at a local restaurant and visit with friends.  Then we decided to leave early, and I'm so glad we did.  Almost 2200 miles in anything, is a long haul.

Evinrude is permanently in her hood, I'm not sure if her stump will ever heal.

Crazy over and under passes on I-10.

We decided that Texas would never end, so we took a break in San Antonio.  We did the Riverwalk boat tour.  We highly recommend it!

 

 

 

 
 After the boat tour, we had the opportunity to have some authentic Tex-Mex food, delicious!

 
 But we had to get back on the road again.  I was notified by my new job, that they wanted a "2nd" TB test done, so we needed to arrive by 5pm on Friday November 11th.  Lucky for us, the speed limit is 80 miles per hour.  Think about it, a 45 foot motorhome towing a car, at 80 miles per hour, what are they thinking???  Oh, and while you are traveling at that speed, you can run into "Zero" visibility.  And I forgot to mention the 22 mile long bridge in Louisiana.  Amazing!

 
 So, I survived my first week at Banner, University of Arizona.  I'm doing 10 hour days so only four days a week.  Ian bought some lovely roses for me.  He has had to hear me every evening, complain about learning how to use EPIC charting (computerized charting), along with everything else. He placed them in a lovely cut off coke vase!

Tucson is beautiful.  The nights are cool and we are surrounded by mountains.  The days have been mild.  The campground has two pools and two hot tubs, tons of fruit trees that they encourage you to pick from.  I'm only about six miles from the hospital, and that is nice.  Of course, our first weekend is spending time, trying to find a vet to take Evinrude to.  She is still alive, her hair is coming off due to wearing an e-collar for months.  It is what it is.  Besides that, I'm still alive and kicking.

This coming week is Thanksgiving week.  I wish all of you a wonderful Thanksgiving day.!
