Genealogy on the lanaii - with some good red wine.


Last night I sat outside, it was a lovely night, temperature around 70 F.

One of my goals for this vacation is to go through my source-database and correct, fix and clean up.
Almost all genealogist experience that the things they found the first years of their work, is to sloppy source-vice. So do I - and lots of my genealogy-friends!

I have till now gone through all my norwegian census-sources, and made them look more logical and easier for others to read.

The picture shows me and my laptop (and this IS a laptop, see??) ... and the glass. Glass to the left.

J. A. P. D. I. P

Weather: purrfect!

There are no words to describe how it is to be back in Florida!

Last night (Friday April 4th) we went to our favourite wateringhole, Daniel's, and there they were. All of them! I think the rumour about our return has gone around town.... and it was a purrfect first night!

And, since I managed to sleep till 7.30 this morning, the jet-lag will disappear in a flash. Usually I am up before the sun. Per had already made coffee of course (his days usually start around 6 in the morning Mondays and Sundays. No difference there.

I went out to get some sun, it took less than 1 hour to get that sexy pink tan.... and, since it is 5 o'clock somewhere......

Yeah! J.A.P.D.I.P!

Thank you Continental!

We got this offer when we checked in online at Continental - upgrade to business class from Newark to Orlando, 100 USD each. Worth every cent! After a very crowded monkey-class from Oslo to Newark, that was just what we needed. Huge seats, free red-wine, and the dinner they served was actually really good!

Now we are at Marriott Airport Hotel in Orlando, 9th (consierge) floor with a view. Dark though, so we don't see anything. But, the room is nice, and Per is already sleeping.

Tomorrow we will take the shuttle back to the airport, and get our rental-car, and I will drive us home to Englewood. Really looking forward to get there!

Just a short note...

We are in the US of A! Newark right now, leaving here in 2 hours for Orlando! Sun sun sun!!!! The airfare was ok, long but ok. So now... a bar for me and a coke for Per!
