SATURDAY JANUARY 23TH

Time to return to Minnesota. Ross arranged for us to ride a shuttle bus to the Miami airport. It worked out great. They picked us up right at the marina and dropped us at the airport.

The flights home went well and we even had time at the Minneapolis airport to do a "good deed". Our friends, Mark and Tami Heimer, were picking us up after the Wild game they were attending. While we waited we noticed this young gal walking all over the baggage area, obviously foreign and looking lost. There weren't many people in the baggage area so it was difficult not to notice her. Ross finally went over and asked if we could help. She was from Mexico City and didn't have the phone number of who was picking her up. The number was in her email and she didn't have the $10 to access the internet at the airport. No problemo! Ross and I have traveled in foreign countries and have been helped many times by people who couldn't even speak our language. We just took out my laptop, plugged in the Verizon air card and she accessed her email and the phone number in a couple of minutes. She was extremely relieved and grateful.

We are home now until February 13th. When we return, the Heimers will join us for two weeks on that leg. Oh, and the Wild won the hockey game!!
