Bon Voyage Karilee (two weeks in Kauai)
It was cooler in the morning. We drove out to the Renaissance Festival near Gold Canyon and stayed until 5 pm. There was lots of traffic and people because of the President's Day Holiday.
It was a fun filled festival with everything Medieval---castles,costumes,entertainment,jousting
and belly dancers etc. We had a beer with Ralph's friend Al(Buzzard)and friend Fay.

Good meal and great entertainment.

Bon Voyage Rob and Genie(Mexico)
Ralph got a chill Monday and is sick with the flu. He mostly stayed in bed while I did laundry.
We booked another week at Golden Sun leaving March 8th for California.

Feb.25th

I played shuffleboard but Ralph stayed in bed. We went for lunch and WalMart for groceries.
Ralph was exhausted and went to bed afterwards.

Feb. 26th

It is very cloudy and cool 64 DegF. I squeezed oranges into juice-very tasty. I read most of the day while Ralph was in bed. He is on an antibiotic now.

Feb. 27th

It rained all night. 54 DegF. and it started to hail and snow around 11 am. (unbelievable for the Phoenix area). Ralph is weak but felt he needed to get up and move around. We went to the Mesa Market for awhile. It still hurts for him to cough. I'm hoping I will escape it.

Feb.28th

Ralph is feeling better and played shuffleboard today. Warmer 22 Deg.C. Ralph had his hair cut and I had mine cut and colored. Afterwards we went to visit the Brook's and Fernquist's at Lost Dutchman State Park. At 7pm we went to the Jimmy Counterfit concert--singer,impersonator and comedien from Nashville. He was very good.
