Walkin' shoes
Well, not walkin' shoes, but travelin' shoes. Chris and I have made the decision to switch our trip to Megacon for a trip to Savannah - over St. Patrick's Day weekend! Oh, Sean, I will miss you dearly. But my chances of getting drunk with you and kissing you on the cheek were slim. Voltaire, will I ever get you to autograph my boob? Not on February 16th I won't. But we shall meet again, I promise. Perhaps in Jacksonville some day.
This change of plans was pretty much a last minute decision for us, considering hordes of people go to Savannah for St. Pat's every year, and reserve their hotel rooms many, many months in advance. We were able to snag a room at a B&B just across Forsyth park from Chris' dad's home. And it's one of the less expensive B&B's in town. Guaranteed parking! Which is worth a mint since that whole area is used for the parade staging area on St. Patrick's day.
I can't say enough good things about Savannah. I'm really looking forward to this trip. I feel so relaxed there. It's a true vacation spot for me.

Happy Robbie Burns' Day! Chris made sausage and mash for dinner tonight, as decent haggis is a bit too hard to come by in Florida. The gravy he made had three ingredients: Sausage, flour, and Guinness! Ok, a bit of honey in there, too, but no milk, no stock, just meat and booze. Delicious!
Looking back at my journal from our honeymoon trip to Scotland, C&I didn't spend much time in Dumfries, the home and place of interment of Robbie Burns. We had lunch, got lost, and moved on to New Abbey. So here's a picture of one of the handful of abbeys in New Abbey instead of a photo of something poet related:
