	July 2003... and another business trip to one of our Bluegreen resorts. Our trip got off to a roaring good start... that is to say, right up to the little stop we made for some lunch fixin's in Jacksonville, Florida. As I was coming out of the store with the groceries, I watched as Jennifer got out of the truck and started on her way into the store too. She had decided to take advantage of the facilities before we got back on the road. The only problem was, I had left my keys with her in the truck and I could clearly see that she did not have them with her now!! Well, we did the only thing you can do in a case like this. We went back inside the grocery store and bought a "key"! Here Jennifer is holding the contraption we used to get back in. First, a long carving knife to open the pop-out side window (right behind her in this picture). Second, the mop handle with a waiter's corkscrew-bottle opener fastened to it with duct tape and opened to make the hook which she used to rescue the keys! And then, just like that, we were on the road again!
	The trip from Fort Lauderdale, Florida, to Myrtle Beach, South Carolina, is a little over 12 hours driving. Since I had not seen my cousin Terry in about 10 years (give or take), and since she lives in Georgia, we stopped to visit with them and stay the night after our first day of fun on the nation's highways.

	And finally, at the end of our second day of "getting there" we arrived at the Harbour Lights Condos in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina. This picture was actually taken a couple of days later on our way out to the beach for some picture taking. (That's right, Jennifer is wearing the Filipina's choice in beachwear - all covered up! Hehehe)
