Tues 6 Mar

Home again safely, thank you Lord for watching over our trip. We started out well with both of us witnessing a bright shooting star as we pulled into the Madison airport for our outgoing flight, so I took it as a sign that the Lord was watching over us and well He did. Weather was perfect with only light clouds one morning and sunshine the remainder of the time. A little minor stomach discomfort, one day for me and a couple of episodes for Bob. Beautiful walks along the beach, opportunity to watch a sister resort feed alligators and iguanas and tropical birds, reasonably good food: what more could we ask! Flew home into a blizzardy snowstorm in Mpls, but we landed safely. We had a layover of several hours anticipated, so a slight delay didn't interfere with our departure flight to Madison (which was also delayed a bit). Taylor texted photos of blowing blizzardy snow in Stevens Point and advised against driving home, so we inconvenienced our daughter by asking to come in late and utilize her spare bedroom. We didn't arrive in Madison til about 1:30 am, so she had dozed with her phone nearby and came down to let us in. We just crashed, sleeping in our travel clothes as my summery pajamas were not appropriate for March cold weather, and we took off in the morning right away as Laura had a video interview scheduled at work and was busy. Stopped at Batch for coffee and a pastry to fuel us on our way and drove home safely through on-again, off-again snow. Bob is out with the snowblower now clearing the driveway and sidewalks of several inches of accumulation.
