I am going to try and give you a story of our adventure of our 1st trip to the Keys and Meeting of the minds along with some pics. Click on pics to make them larger

Wednesday 11/1/06 2:30 AM  Smokey & Mary Ann  prepare for departure from our residents after checking everything to make sure we did not forget anything that Janel said we should have after 50 phone calls the week before we leave. We arrive at Tom & Janel's about 2;40 AM load the Yukon and ask are you sure you have everything. I guess by now you know this is leading to something. We head to Joe and Jeanine's, end up there around 3:00 and load up. The next stop Philly International Airport. The ride was great everyone was getting excited about the trip, we arrived at the airport around 4:15 and started to go through the 9/11 routine when the 1st disaster hit, our cruise director Janel forgot Her license and could not get on the plane, it was like this, Car Ride $50.00 Air Plane Ride $400.00 Tom's face when she told Him no license PRICELESS. Well needless to say Joe and Jeanine and Smokey and MaryAnn ended up in Key West before the Tirpak's by only about 5 hours thanks to Tirps sister who ran the license down and they made the next flight out.

Our arrival at Key West was not what I anticipated rain and lots of it. we ended up sitting on the plane for about an hour till the lighting around the airport went away.

On to the hotel which was very nice The next thing we check in and then off to the pool and start with some great margaritas and the arrival of the Tirpak's after Tom and Janel checked in everything went pretty smooth, until the flight home when things got a little messed up again I will let Tom and Janel tell you about that when you see them. Everything else was great including the little surprise that Joe and Jeanine had for us I guess I don't have to explain. Well I think that's enough story from me I 'll give you some more pics and when you see any of us I am sure we can give  better details in person than on this web page. Here are some more pics enjoy and try to go next year  it's a blast.
