Still Hangin in there

Time is passing slowly at Camp Noknowhengo. Steve is such a sport to have taken us on for 8, count them, EIGHT DAYS, in his 1400 sq ft. condo. But, amazingly, we all seem to be having a good time with one another. Us girls keep waiting to see if the guys run out of flying stories, so far, NO. On Wednesday, Peggy and I go to a yoga class at the Y, an intense yoga class, but we enjoy it. Then all go our separate ways for the rest of the day, Gene and I had lunch then took a long walk around town to gardens and so forth. Supposed to have warmed up, but didn't. Thursday Peggy and I again go to the gym. We are well paired in our needs and wants. The sun has FINALLY come out and the temp has risen. After lunch we drop the guys at Meacham Field to fly Steve's award winning 170 and we do more shopping, not wonderful shopping, but WalMart where there are things we still need for the trip. We are eating some great meals here, hoping that I am counteracting the calories with the exercise. Fingers crossed. Yesterday just after noon, the airwaves come alive with texts, calls and emails. The big Sun and Fun Fly In in Lakeland, FL has been hit with horrific storms and winds which left a whole bunch of damaged airplanes in its wake. Steve would have had his plane there if not for this trip, and there is a good chance the flagship would have been there also. Many of Gene's pilot friends are usually there, but we check and find out that his closest friend, Jim, did not go this year as he just closed on a new house. Luck is holding. So far, we have not heard of anyone we know who was there. Today is our last day at camp. They guys left early for Alliance with Steve's car packed with our luggage, everyone keeping just what we need for the next day. Only the two of them can fit. They will meet two or three others there to do an inspection on the plane and ready it for departure early tomorrow. Steve has hired a car to take us to Alliance in the morning. Peggy and I clean the condo and she is about to get her hair done. The leisure part of this trip is about done. For the next week we will be on a pretty tight schedule. but we are ready.
