I was just in the process of wrapping up my latest entry when my browser crashed before I can save it. So my whole update went bye-bye. Hate it when that happens.
I’ll get as much up with meaty details as soon as I can. More pics to come as well.
Here’s the condensed version of events to get caught up:
Spent a few days in Belgium, said goodbye to Mietsie, Raf, Teresa, and everyone else. Got to see Roos, one of my former crew from when Andiamo left Isla Mujeres to Belize, one quick time on my last night before heading on to Brussels. I took a Eurolines bus to London on the night of Sept. 4th, met up with Steffenie, who was putting me up during my London stay. I managed to meet up with Rosie, Scott and Claire as well, and we had many merry times over the next few days. Also managed to meet up with Sheila, one of the two Singaporean nurses I met in Budapest during the pub crawl for dinner and crazy dancing. Berina was in Italy during that time so we couldn’t meet up.
I left London on the 7th of September, and flew back to Florida. Drove to Daytona, and met up with my best friend Chris who’s going through a god-awful time with his mother’s illness. She’s pretty much terminal and this has been pretty tough. I was going to fly out to California for a few days today, but decided to stick around a few more days because of what is happening. In the meantime, I’ve been shopping for boat stuff and supplies that I’ll be taking back with me when I do finally head back to Andiamo sometime at the end of this month.
So that’s the story so far, I’ll add details to this post as I go along, because I sure as hell ain’t starting that big post all over again.
Sometimes, technology can suck.

Hello stranger! You have had quite the adventures this summer! We sold our house in Pella and bought a NEW one in Ankeny Iowa, 15 minutes from work instead of an hour. A young lady I know would like your mailing address. So I am down 33 pounds and counting the days to Hawaii in November. Take care, Bonnie.

Tony,
Tell Chris I’m wishing him the best. I can only imagine what he is going through.
Hope all is well with him and you. I didn’t have near the time in Daytona that I wanted/needed to visit everyone. I saw Martin, John and Maria Groeschner and of course, Anne-Marie (Lil) Hughes.
Keep putting one foot in front of the other!
