Due to Howard's understandable reluctance to drive the van over Donner Pass in a snowstorm, I've agreed to drive to his house and we'll start from there. Plan A was for me to make the trip on Sunday the 18th. After thinking this over, I realized that this would put me in with all the weekenders returning from Tahoe to the Bay Area. BAD IDEA! So I decided to make the drive today as it would be a more pleasant drive and give Howard a little more time to get ready. Loaded up the car and arrived in Moss Beach a little after 2 pm. Howard wasn't ready yet, so we decided to leave in the morning after he'd had the oil changed and replaced two tires. That was Plan B. Beverly fixed us a great dinner and we sat around and talked about the things we might encounter on our journey. Howard was unaware of the fact that alligators and Burmese pythons were a hazard in Florida. He likes to go for short walks in the middle of the night when we're camping. This gives him a chance to admire nature, contemplate the universe and empty his bladder. Upon being brought up to speed on the reptiles he might meet, he's decided to curtail any midnight rambles while we're in their domain. I'm dubious, but we'll see. Off to bed... my last in a comfortable bed for the next 6 weeks.
