Leaving Fort Myers Beach!

We're heading for the Dry Tortugas today about noon, with our friends Sue and Al, who are celebrating their 30th anniversary on Sunday. We're looking forward to snorkeling at the underwater park with them for a couple days. We've had a change of plans. We've been increasingly concerned about going to Mexico AT ALL, and Thursday had further confirmation that it was a REAL bad idea. I met a really nice man, Mike, who told me more stories of murders and kidnapping on his property in Arizona, which is why he left and came here! He's the one who brought it up when I told him how much we are enjoying Fort Myers Beach, so when I told him we'd been planning to go to Isla Mujeres or Puerto Juarez, on our way to Rio Dulce, he said "DON'T GO!". Sometimes God gets our attention in really obvious ways through other people. So Daren and I decided to head on over to the Bahamas for the summer. I know it's hurricane season, but we can dodge them in the Bahamas as well as here in Florida, or so we hope! We won't be online as much as before, so bear with us and please don't worry, just say a prayer when you think of us!
