Day #204: Up at 6:30 A.M. for coffee, grapefruit, mini poppy seed muffins and cookies. Mike and I walked a total of 3.1 miles this A.M. The "Parrot Bay" had already been slightly moved, the stanchions and blocks repositioned so that the areas on the boat that had not been painted could be painted. Mike talked to Renee and they decided that due to storms/wind predicted on Thursday the boat would be launched on Friday at 8:45 A.M. so that she could return to her slip. At 11:55 A.M. Mike and I were given a ride to get their Enterprise vehicle. When we arrived at the Enterprise office only had one vehicle a mini van which Enterprise offered a free upgrade. We were pleased as we are planning a few outings with our kids. At 1:00 P.M. Aunt Nancy, Uncle Jerome, Deborah Werner and Amanda arrived at Aquamarina Palm Harbour. The six of us had lunch at Leverocks followed by a tour of the marina and "Parrot Bay". At 3:20 P.M. Aunt Nancy, Uncle Jerome and Deborah headed back to Naples. Mike, Amanda and I took a ride to Sun Life Beach Hotel so that Amanda could check in getting keys for Mark, Leah and herself. The hotel is very cute and the owner Anna is very nice. Mike, Amanda and I then headed to the Publix to pick up a few items such as drinks and breakfast items. Mark and Leah are approximately 4 hours from arriving at the marina. Mike and Amanda headed to the pool at Aquamarina for a swim before sunset. The three of us hung out for happy hour waiting for Mark and Leah. At 6:50 P.M. pizza was ordered as Mark and Leah's estimated time of arrival was 8:20 P.M. At 8:00 P.M. Mark called they are one hour out as they got delayed near Tampa. Mark and Leah finally made it to the condos at 9:00 P.M. after a 15 hour drive. Great to see them. After they had their pizza for dinner it was time to celebrate Christmas. At 11:00 P.M. Mark, Leah and Amanda headed off to the hotel.
