The best laid plans, yada - yada - yada

Our planned jump-off date for our Florida jaunt was Tuesday the 28th, but we're in blizzard conditions right now and I'm thinking we might wait a day...the 29th, to give the road crews time to clean things up a bit.  It's coming down hard now and it's going to get worse in the next 24 hours.

Kincaid coming to Florida this year :)

Kincaid in the car at Wal-Mart on December 21st, 2010 

Kincaid, who is Joanna's dog primarily although we're the caretakers while she's working, is coming with us this year to Florida.  We pretty much take him everywhere we go, and have decided (Joanna concurred) that he'd be happier with us in the Southland than home spending a lot of time alone (with the three cats).  He travels well, and his love of walking might get me off the computer a bit and into more walking down to the  Indian River at our Campground.

We're in the "10 Day Weather" window for our departure....getting close!

When we visit the "10 Day Weather" we now have a pretty clear picture of what's on the radar for our departure for Florida on December 28th....and it's looking good:).  There should be some snow showers between now and than but nothing serious.  I find exiting the Northeast in late December a bit stressful....you never know just what the weather is going to be, and I don't want to be driving a 32' Motorhome towing a Jeep in snow conditions if I can avoid it.  If we end up relocating to Florida, and than coming the the Northeast in the summer months, it will eliminate that worry....we'd probably be coming back to CT in June and staying through August.
