Guten Morgen!
Today, we’re all in good spirits, even though we’re really sore from the 10+ mile of walking we did yesterday…

We left Fort Myers yesterday at around 1:45pm, flew to Charlotte, NC, left there about 4:40pm, and in a little under 8 hours – landed in Frankfort, Germany!

You can see what we did today by viewing our photos, and videos.

Good stuff!
Only 2 months ago, here in Florida, we were paying almost $4.00 a gallon for gas. Today, when I filled up at CostCo…

After reading this in Fortune Magazine:
Thinking back, I’ve had this feeling for at least a year or so…
