What Happened Today? Thursday 08/12/2004 Clearwater, FL Day 3295
Now walk with Ian.
Much stress and worry about storms hitting Florida.
Talked with Jason by e-mail.
Went to the bank to get gambling money.
We will leave around noon for Tampa airport. I printed our boarding passes. Yvonne took us to the airport. Continental flight left at 3:15 PM and will arrive in Houston at 4:15 PM. Flight to San Diego left at 5:45 PM but left 30 minutes late. Flight from Tampa to Houston went straight over the Gulf of Mexico to avoid Tropical Storm Bonnie. I could see several black clouds off to the north. Very ominous.
TV reports when we were in Houston claimed they were evacuating Pinellas County. The bridge was seriously backed up when we flew out of Tampa. Kay called Yvonne from Houston and she was checking people out of the hotel.
We arrived in San Diego around 7:00 PM, 10:00 PM our time. We collected our luggage and rented a car from Avis.
I drove to Barona Casino where we checked into a room on the bottom floor. Room 1001.
Kay called Yvonne. She’s staying weathering the Storm.
We went into the casino. I lost $60.
In bed around 1:00 AM our time.
