Escaping winter




Well, it was a long and rather arduous two day trip. The winter snow, ice and temperatures sure made the drive from Kingston to Toronto a challenge. But the bonus was less traffic on the roads, as most people seemed to have stayed home. Essential travel only, as recommended. Ours was essential!


Arrived in Nassau pretty much on time, despite the US Government shutdown precipitated by Mr. T and the Whitehouse gang. As the route from Toronto to Nassau flies over US airspace, the traffic controllers (US Government employees) were on partial shutdown I guess, so it meant a less than direct route.


Nuff said.


Finally touchdown in Govenor’s Harbour, and it’s well, kind of like home away from home.


No, honestly, there was no welcome committee.





Collect the rental car at the airport, stop off at Burrowes Grocery for essential supplies, and . . . we’re here!


Then the outlook. Not a snowflake in sight. Dead quiet.


Then today – well, not much happening for sure. No pressure. No rush. Just chillin’. Staring out to sea.


  A slow day of recuperation, and this evening, sitting on the balcony, warm breeze, enjoying the day fade.
