Hi all,

I got to the airport on Wednesday morning at 5 am after not sleeping at all and there was a mechanical problem with the plane and we had to return from the runway and deplane. The flight was cancelled but I got on a later flight and arrived a few hours after my 80 year old dad. Luckily we had typed up a fairly detailed instruction sheet for him and he made his way to the condo. What a relief.

It had rained here for a few days before we arrived but has been hot and sunny each day. Yay. I brought my fitbit and am shooting for 15000 steps per day. I have already logged 7.8 miles today which is great. The grocery store is about 1.2 miles away so a great way to get in a bit of exercise. The tides are low this week too so the walking on the beach is very nice.

My dad is here for 13 days and it is so nice to have this time alone with him. I am trying to get a few nice pics of the two of us together and of him out and about.

I plan to spend the next 6 weeks in bathing suits and shorts/t-shirts so no WIWs for me.

Take care everyone. I hope my fellow Canadians are managing through the storms and are safe and sound.
