Arrived = finally

We have finally arrived in Orange Beach - I say finally but actually one day later than we expected. Seems that the south got snow, and ice and all the roads were a mess. So instead of trying to break through, we holed up for a very pleasant extra day with Tom and Gwen.  Other than slow traffic going through Atlanta, we breezed along nicely, often having the road virtually to ourselves. We spent a night in Lavonia Georgia at a spectacular Super 8 - this place may have been a couple weeks old and the staff was happy and friendly. Can't ask for much more than that I guess.
Last night was spent in Gulf Shores - about 5 miles from the condo which we moved to this morning
Things are mostly unpacked (fishing and biking stuff is still in the van  - will save that for tomorrow  or the next day.,  Considering the water temp dropped precipitously with all the cold weather, the fish are probably hunkered down and sutured mouths.  Besides, I forgot to bring my ice fishing clothes and anything less near the water might be a disaster
Pictures will follow soon - we're on the 11th floor overlooking the Gulf and it is just beautiful, Will look forward to sharing it with all.
