We're off to the Mainland.......

Today I am up early. We are wanting to catch the ferry to the mainland to go visit my sisters. It is my eldest sisters Birthday tomorrow, so I thought it would be nice to be able to celebrate with her.

We tried to make reservations for the ferry but any of the sailing we want the prebooking is closed, so we just have to take our chances, hence I want to leave early to catch the 1030 ferry. They have been have such a terrible time with the mechanical function of the ferries lately. Currently they had to take one out of service and move another to another location hence certain sailings on the route I would take have been cancelled. We are to be getting two super ferries come January. I think we could have used more.

The boys have never really been able to spend to much time on the mainland doing any tourist things so I am hoping that we might get in an attraction or two. I am sure eldest son will want to check out some of the stores. There are so many people I would love to see, but I know the boys would be bored stiff, so I think this trip will be limited to visisting just family.

Anyhow, that is what I will be up to for the next couple of days, I hope life is treating you all well, and I will catch up with you all on Monday. Cheers and have a great weekend!

Gee, Mary Anne, it was MY older sister's birthday today, too! She was an RN specialising in the OR and has been such a help to me in our ordeal with my daughter. Her surgery was last night at 6:30 pm and the tumor is out at last! Have a great time on the mainland and check my update whenever you get back.

Hope you are having a fabulous time with your sister! I saw my sister at Christmas and it was great. She lives in Texas and I am in Alabama so it's not too often we are together. Cheers :)
