...since I'm not going to the convention this year, I did the next best thing. I reserved a stateroom on the Chippers Cruise to the Bahamas in October. ...never been to Florida, never been on a cruise, it should be a lot of fun!

I also bought a 24-foot motorhome this afternoon. Built on a Ford dually chassis, it can sleep 5, has a full kitchen and a bathroom with a shower. It isn't one of those huge buses, but it'll work just fine for road and fishing trips for this guy! Now I gotta build a garage to park it in during the winter....
