Florida! We are leaving TUESDAY for FL. I can't begin to spell the name of the small town, but it's in the Panhandle near Fort Walton Beach.

The station is currently dark, and DH will put it back on the air as a test market for an innovative idea. He's VP of Broadcasting, with a healthy chunk of stock in the company, so something REAL for a change.

This has been "this" close for several days now and I've been on needles and pins just waiting for all the i's to be dotted, the t's crossed, etc.

I'm not a big fan of the deep South. Those slithery things really are off putting, but, the beauty of this gig is as the company grows, we'll pretty much have our choice of where we want to be geographically. So for a few years I can wear hiking boots! LOL!

Phew! Finally.

Congratulations, Glenda, it's about time. Actually, it's long past time, but now you can move forward. Enjoy the sun!

West is Navarre and east/ne is Eglin Air Force base. North on 10 is Crestview -- all "kinda" close to Pensacola. (Forgive me -- I went to school up there.) I have friends up there ... the beach is GOR-G-USSSSS. Eglin should give him a decent audience that's pretty civilized. You're pretty close to Mobile as well -- and dang ... MEBBE at some point we can all meet halfway fur coffee or somethin!!! Not like it's "close" but heck -- it's clos-ER than you were.

No more snow, Glenda. and actually lots to find *nice* about the area. I came *very* close to settling up there myself after I graduated. (Liddle dinky town called Milton)

Glenda I'm SO happy for you for so many reasons. Yippee!!!

I can't even begin to say how happy I am for you guys, Glenda. And since the weather everywhere should be starting to get better, going back to get stuff should be a bit easier too.

Glenda, this is such awesome news! We are so very happy for you and despite the critters I think you are really going to enjoy the fact that all that snow won't be around!!

Good luck!

Glenda, I've been watching some of your mindless chatter posts the past few days and had my fingers crossed for you! So glad it worked out!!

I take they aren't providing any relocation assistance? Bummer that they can't help you find a place or something but I bet you will have lots of fun picking a new place to stay :)

So happy for you!

OMdog!

I am very very happy that you have finally had some good news, and Florida might just be the place at the moment to heal an over stressed body.

Now, some advice, you say your leaving Tuesday? I have no idea of the way your going, or how fast you plan to travel, but for the love of dog avoid this town on Friday and Saturday!

It's Derby Week in Louisville and they have the Kentucky Oaks on Friday and Derby is Saturday. Both races are late races but the traffic will be tight and heavy on 65 south through Louisville early and late in the day. There are several other events though town, one on Wednesday that might cause a stir and that is the Steam Boat race on the Ohio, also just at the end of rush hour here. The time here is eastern.

If you need any idea's or help in locating camping grounds along the way though here let me know.

Happy Travels!

Good luck Glenda... I'm sure things are turning around. I hope Florida turns out even better for you folks than you can imagine.
