Apparently my body didn’t know that i had to drive seven hours home today. I initially woke up around 6:30am, then again at 7am. I tried to go back to sleep, but i couldn’t so finally at 7:30am, i got out of bed and got ready. After i checked out, had breakfast with Elisabeth and her family at this cute little place where you cook your own pancakes, french toast, eggs, etc. Very Cool! After we said our goodbye, i started the final stretch of my vacation. It was a nice sunny day to end my vacation on and to think back at the week at some things:

1 – Saw an accident in the middle turn-lane and one of the cars had a tire all messed up. That was weird, but then again, it was in Alabama that i saw that. 😉 😉
2 – Got to see PCC’s IT Dept and to see how they do things. Also talked to three IT guys that i went to college with.
3 – Met with several of my computer science instructors to ask what is going with them, and me telling them what has been going on in my life as well as saying that i enjoy my job and like what i do in the IT field.
4 – Got to see the new buildings on campus and get a VIP tour of one of them. (it pays to know people that do A\V for the college…)
5 – Had the opportunity to eat supper with a family that had a son that was looking at the college. Answered questions from him and the parents.
6 – Had a good conversation with said person in #4 and his wife about their child who is five and who also is on medication for seizures like myself.
7 – Met up with really good friend from college in Nashville (who came from ATL), went to see a live-action version of The Christmas Story, and had a couple of meals with them.
8 – Finally, took lots of pics!

Even though there was only a few alumni from my college yrs there that i met up with while in Florida, i would say having those two conversations made the trip worth while!

As well as meeting up with a very good friend in Nashville and catching up after not seeing each other for 7 or 8 yrs.
