Congrats on the camera. I have the Canon SD890 IS and I really love it. I love playing with the different settings, in fact I'm still learning and coming up with some really neat things.

Congrats also about going back to school. Have you posted details about that elsewhere on the boards? Love to hear more about your decision and where you are going to take classes.

Update 6/25

3 DAYS!!!!!!!



Of Course, while I am beyond excited that it is soooo Close do you think I have actually packed 1 item for the trip yet?? Nope not a one, and since it was so HOT here the last week or so all my shorts, and cooler clothing that I had planned on bringing now needs to be laundered so now I can't start that until I do laundry.

Do I feel like doing laundry? NO. I rather be on Passporter, and Facebook and frankly I hate folding the clothes more then the whole dump in the washer and cram in the dryer part of the process but still I will have to go do that soon. But first I'll procrastinate some more by updating my TR, reading more of Passporter, and well I'm sure my farm is in need of some attention on Farm town

My New Camera went on a detour of sorts on its way here, and as of this morning finally made it to Jacksonville, FL where UPS's depot is and will be out for delivery tomorrow only 2 days later then I paid for but hey who's counting right. The only thing I can say is that the shippers gave me a $15 credit for the inconvienance and to refund the expedited delivery charge. So that helps ease the disappointment of not having more then a day to play with it and learn how it works.

We did make some decisions of dining choices and most of the list previously haven't made it. Mom and I found out that 2 of our favorite restaurants have locations in Ft. Myers so we will be hitting them up and only 3 places on Sanibel will be visited so here is the updated list of places we will be dining at:

Fort Myers-
  1. Joe's Crab Shack (All the Commercials on TV here have driven me crazy, have had a craving for Joe's for almost a month, went to Joe's in Indianapolis for the first time and enjoyed it)
  2. Red Robin (we miss this from CT, it was our favorite hang out after a day at the mall, figure after a day at the beach will still be fun )
Sanibel Island/Captiva Island
  1. Island Cow- well between the name, and recommendation from the PP above, I will try this place out
  2. The Mucky Duck-again have to try this place for the name, and around sunset as I have heard its a great place to watch the sun go down.
  3. The Bubble Room- Loved it the last time, and can't wait to have some of the Crab Soup, and dessert!

The rest of the meals will probably end up being Sonic, Steak n Shake, or if we see something that looks interesting we will stop. More of a go with the flow kind of thing.

We pick up the rental car on Sunday at 9am, and we hope to be on the road by 11am. That will get us to Ft. Myers/Sanibel before 5pm with all the stops we may make along the way.

I'm sure I'll update again, hopefully telling ya'll I got up and actually did my laundry and did some packing and I will take some test shots with my camera.
