31st and final day!

Robert F. Cat stood on our heads, licked our hair, and snuggled right in between us all morning while we tried to keep sleeping. It was rainy and dark outside, so I just kept rolling over and awaiting his next attempt to rouse us. When I finally woke up (for real) it was 12:30pm. Not so hard to imagine, since I don't think we fell asleep until after 4am.

We cleaned up our living areas and bid farewell to Robert and Erika, and Chrissie zoomed us over to the UF bookstore to grab some garb for her and her mom. Then we went to Tijuana Flats and fueled ourselves up for the final leg of our adventure. The rain had let up just long enough for us to get in and out of the restaurant. By the time we found our way onto I-75 though, the onslaught of liquidy missiles was almost opaque, limiting our speed to well below the speed limit in some places. Somewhere around Orlando we found clear skies just as the sun set, and the weather was perfect all the way into Chrissie's driveway in Tavernier. After unloading, we said hi to her parents and Bailey and Sparky, and got upstairs to catch up with our blog-writing (I think I'm the only one that's broken the fourth wall in this whole endeavor) and pass right out. Wrap-up blog within the next week!
