Today is the 125th day since leaving Rockport, Texas and we're still in Charleston and will be for more than another week. We returned here from Dallas on Sunday, July 24th and after unpacking and repacking, we rented a car and drove back to Dataw Island for their 3 day-2 night "Discover Dataw" package so we could explore the area more in depth as a possible place to retire. We both still love it as it is such a beautiful spot as well as very friendly. Unfortunately, this has presented itself at a very inopportune time for us so it'll be interesting to see what happens.
Dallas was great as we got to spend time with our daughter Kelly, her husband Brian and our new granddog, Lucious - a miniature long haired dachsund who is precious! They live at a high rise called AZURE on the 18th floor and even though I wouldn't like living that high up, it's pretty spectacular!
I'll be leaving Charleston again tomorrow morning for Washington, D.C. where I'm meeting my daughter Sherrie and granddaughter Lauren where we'll take the train to New York City and spend 5 days. As I mentioned before, Lauren will be attending the Fashion Institute of Technology for a 4 day workshop. Mike is batching it and hopes to catch up on a few repair items. After I return from New York, we'll be heading north.
Beginning in the Spring of 2011, this is a story of a journey in our 36' Heritage East Trawler as we cruise The Great Loop, a circumnavigation of Eastern North America, along the shoreline of the United States and Canada - truly a trip of a lifetime.
