We arrived in Indian Rocks Beach on Sunday, went to a rental agency and a very nice lady found a condo for us with a great view from our balcony. I had earlier rented one for three weeks beginning Jan. 5 and we will move into that condo on Saturday.
As most of you know, Angela and family have moved to Jacksonville FL. Last Friday we traveled with Angela, Kelsie, and Nathan in three vehicles including a Budget Rental truck, Angela's car, and our car. We had four drivers so we were able to trade driving. It was a little "hairy" at times, several major traffic backups that were very frustrating. Twice there was an accident site involved, but other backups just suddenly began moving again with no indication why we had to "stop and go" for an hour or two!!
We arrived in JAX about 5 pm. Jerry Wetzel was there waiting for us, took us on a tour of the apartment they have rented. It is a very nice complex with a cute apartment. We went out for pizza, then headed to the Hampton Inn where we always stay when in JAX.
Now we are enjoying the view from our balcony, listening to the surf, taking walks on the beach, and relaxing.

You made it! Michelle and I vowed never to rent a truck and move ourselves again but you never know. JJZNM were here on NYE and we Skyped with Angela & Jerry. They are on quite an adventure!
Yes, they are on an adventure! Next time you skype, let us know - we are signed up for it!!
J & A, Glad you've landed in a great spot. It's so much fun when a plan comes together. The pics, etc. make K and I anxious to get to FLA, too.
We are already setting money aside so that next time we move we can just pay someone else to do it! Such hard work. And we are on the 2nd floor so we had to drag everything up the stairs! Happy to be here though!
Moving is very hard work. Hope you can get a little break before you dive into work again. And hope you like Jacksonville - we've vacationed in St. Augustine a couple of times and loved it, especially riding bicycles on the beach. Enjoy!
Enjoy your time this winter!
