[Don]

Good morning all -

Promises to be a nice day here today, highs in the lower 80's F and just a slight chance of showers this afternoon. 

Today we will begin our packing in earnest for the upcoming Great Lakes cruise. We will drive up Sunday to Atlanta, stay in a hotel near the airport where we will be parking our car for the trip duration, and take the hotel shuttle to the airport Monday morning for our flight to Milwaukee, Wisconsin. We will take a taxi (probably) from the airport there to the ship, which I believe gets underway later that Monday evening. This cruise is something DW wanted to do. 

Still have a bit of discomfort on the back of my head where the yellow jacket stung, but the one on my leg is just itching a bit. Should be back to normal by the end of the day or in the morning. Those yellow jackets are nasty little critters. The most i have gotten stung by the was about a dozen times, some years ago. It was a miserable couple of days - good thing I am not allergic to the stings like DW is.

Thank goodness we con't have yellow jackets here.
We have paper wasps and they are aggressive, their stings painful enough.

Nothing to get in a flap about thoough.
