Right before Christmas we were given the wonderful news that our youngest daughter Amanda and her husband Kent were expecting their first little bundle of joy. Or as Grandma and Grandpa call it (for now) "Nugget". Well needless to say this news has changed our plans on when we will be leaving for our big journey of The Loop. The baby is due in late August. So we have updating our "float plan" that in June (the 8th to be exact) we plan to go on a 2-1/2 month cruise over the Erie Canal and up through parts of Canada and then be back in time for Nuggets arrival. We will then get another apartment (yes the lease is up in June on the one we currently are renting) and Grandma will be babysitting for about 9 months. Yeah!!!! We will then leave on our journey in the summer of 2015. In some ways this new plan should work out just fine. We have not really had the opportunity yet to have a long voyage (longest one so far has been 5 days). This way it is a trial run to see what we are doing right (and wrong). For now we will hold out here in Ohio in the snow and cold and long for those warm days and calm seas.
