We stopped once for gas and use the restroom and a second time for something to eat most of which we ate in the parking lot before we returning to the Interstate. We were delayed a little by construction and even less by traffic but it took us 9.5 hours to return to our home which means we were delayed about 30 minutes by our 2 stops and another 30 minutes by either traffic or construction or both.
In another hour, we had unloaded the car and put everything away from our trip although we are saving mowing of the lawn until tomorrow after we have gotten a good night's sleep.... so, in 10.5 hours we have just about been able to return to normal.
Two of our 3 cats met us at the door but our Siamese who gets really pissed off when we leave for more than a day or two, decided that he not show his face until a couple of hours after our return... I guess he did not want to appear too eager to let us know that he missed us.
It was nice to have a vacation and eat out every night and it was nice to sit in chairs and watch the water... even if it was the Gulf and not the Atlantic Ocean... but, if the truth be known, I did the same damn thing down there that I did here, plus I had to spend all that extra money and drive for 18 hours... not really sure if it was worth it or not... and unlike the Caribbean commercials my wife and I did not fall in love with each other all over again.
