Getting Ready to Roll.....

Up at 4 am, It's not that the time is unusual for me but having to shower, shave, dress, pack last items, feed our cat, and leave last minute notes for Sarah while the limo service is outside waiting was------challenging.

The uneventful ride to the airport got me there at 5:45. The one thing I can proclaim is that the extra money spent for expedited boarding and extra legroom is worth it! The line to check in through security was 15 minutes as about to what looked like at least 45 minutes. Not to mention the more comfortable seating. So I breezed through, got my coffee, the Sunday papers and took a seat to get ready to board the plane.

Here I am on the plane watching George Clooney in the Descendants. For Rose my hair stylist, I love the Clooney hair cut. The same Ocean's 11 cut, but without the tuxedo. He just found out that his wife, who is in a coma was cheating on him---What a cheerful movie. I switch the channel to some music and the 40's station was on XM radio. The words to the music came into my headphones, "Maybe, i'm Right, Maybe, I'm Wrong.". The warm memory of my uncle Frank came into my head as I remember him signing the words to that song. My mother's brother, uncle Frank was a good guy. He would bring me the sporting news when I was a kid to read about baseball. Mon his day off, he would take me and my cousins places. Oh yes, the singer was Margaret Whiting and the song titled was Guilty.

The first leg of this journey is flying to the Bahamas. Arrived and it's HOT! The walk to the exit to grab a cab seems like the length of a bible. I caught a 12 Buck cab ride to The Orange Hill Beach Inn. However, nothing is orange. The helpful woman explains only the downstairs rooms are available. I take what is available and it is a ground floor room with patio overlooking the parking lot and the ocean. The ocean is beautiful with various shades of blue and green color. Checked into the room to unpack then grab a quick breakfast. It is after 12. I was going to hop the bus to town to walk around but I was informed everything is loosed because it is Sunday. I have to be honest it is too damn hot to walk. So I think it is time to relax on my patio, read my kindle, blog to you guys that is if anybody is actually reading this and take a snooze,

See what I mean, it is not orange but pink!
