Update

Sorry I don't have pictures...wish I did! I guess I could take a picture of Tim's empty room! I know Grandma and Grandpa check the blogs so this is for you! Tim made it safe and sound to Pensacola on Wednesday. He had driven to Charlotte, NC on Tuesday which is halfway point between Fla and Md. My brother, Marc and his wife Michele, live there and graciously opened their home to Tim and a couple of buddies. Thanks, Marc!!! Michele was traveling. Jeff and I flew to Atlanta Tuesday evening. By Wednesday night we were anxious to hear and Tim was sweet to call. He had gotten on the road Wed. am by 7:30 and made it after nine hours (I think!). Lots of storms were raging all through the area (and moved up to MD...Jeff and I came home to stormy weather Thursday night) so he drove through rain. Sounds like Pensacola area was paradise when he got there. Some buddies have rented a beautiful huge home so Tim is staying with them till he moves into his apartment. We got a text yesterday that he checked into the base yesterday but that's all we know for now...stay tuned! Oh, and good news! Jeff and I volunteered to give up our seats yesterday since our flight was over-booked. We didn't care if we got back later! As a result, we received EACH two free round trip tickets to use with-in the next year. After the plane had loaded they had some "no shows" and we got to fly on our plane after all, PLUS, keep the free tickets!!! Air Tran flies to Pensacola!!!
