Great visit in PCB

January 9, 2009
Panama City Beach, FL


We woke to clouds and temperatures right around 20°F, but the sun soon came out and we had a great afternoon visiting with Geri's nephew Michael.

We wrapped up most travel preparation this morning, with Geri finishing up the laundry and me loading up on fresh water. Tomorrow, all we'll have to do is dump, pull in the power cord, and hook up the Rover, and we'll be on our way.

Around noon, we headed over to Tyndall AFB to pick up Michael, and his co-worker, Allie. We did a bit of touring, marveling at how "dead" things are ("the season" here starts around March 1). After lunch (a "sackful" of Krystal Sliders) and a stop at the coach, we did a little souvenir shopping, checked out the beach, and ended up at Uncle Ernie's Bayfront Grille and Brew House for dinner. We had a good dinner (Geri has several lunches left from her seafood/penne dish, and I finished all of my seared tuna with Thai slaw) and I tried the beer sampler (favorite being Winter's Bourbon Cask Ale) - 9 2oz pours. It was after dark when we returned to Tyndall and then back to the coach.

Temperatures might have gotten to 40°F today - maybe - but the wind made it feel cooler, of course. As long as we were in the sun and out of the wind, it actually wasn't too bad. Of course, we grew up with weather a lot worse than this, but we're totally spoiled by Arizona winters.

No matter, though; we had a great visit and no weather can take away from that. Click here for pictures from today...
