Just a little update on our upcoming vacation...

Melissa sent the following email to some family and friends earlier today. I thought I'd share it:

"OK, here's the story. We are leaving for sunny, Siesta Key, Florida today. We will be taking off this afternoon and driving straight through. It is about a 17 hour drive, but driving at night helps with the boys. There's just one little problem, and her name is WILMA. Hello, did someone forget to tell mother nature that the Neumans look forward to this trip all year?

For those of you who don't know where Siesta Key is, it is on the gulf side, about halfway down. It is South of Tampa, near Sarastoa.
Hopefully, Wilma takes a hard turn south, and we miss most of her. As of right now, the weather people are saying she is going to be the stronges hurricane of the season. They are hoping (and us too) that she decreases in strength once she reaches the cooler waters of the gulf.

My in-laws are already there. They flew in on Monday. We will be arriving Thursday around noon. My two brother-in-laws and sister-in-law will be flying in on Friday...........if they don't get stuck in Atlanta.

Brian and I have been known to chase a tornado or two, and now it looks like we might get to see a hurricane up close as well.

So, everyone, watch the news to see where Wilma goes, and say a prayer that we are smart enough to get out of the way if she comes our way.

We will update you on our adventure when we return, hopefully not earlier than Oct. 30th."

Anyway, I'm staying positive and praying we don't have to evacuate as soon as we get there.

Die, Wilma, Die!
