so......anyway, how is everyone doing out there? Here in Tampa, everything has pretty much died down. Everything except the flooding that is. I never made it out of town today. My flight was cancelled and the next available flight was not until wednesday. My poor hubby is getting very lonely up in PA. We are here for two extra days and still never made it to Disney. The important thing is that everyone is okay, but I can still sulk about Disney...quietly to myself.
