12/18/06 Heading North Again

Hello,

On Monday the 18th, I said good bye to Sue and Warren and headed up north. I was going back to the Hudson area to do battle with Best Buy (because of my computer), and to see my cousins Mia & Michael- one more time.

I went to Best Buy- the problem I had with computer crashing was due to the memory they had put in for me. After a couple of "discussions" and some words of persuasion (lol) they finally got my computer straightened out. I then called Mia. She and her husband Bob wanted me to stop by, but they were still tied up with their daughter, so Mia suggested I call Michael as he too wanted to see me- before I headed out of Florida.

I went over to see Michael & Denise. They had a going away care package for me!! LOL- (Thank you again Michael & Denise!!!) After talking for a bit they both insisted I come back to their house for the night as the trip to St.Georges Island was too far to go that late in the day. They said I wouldn't get up there until after 10pm- which really was too late.

I was then finding myself looking for something to do, while waiting for Mia & Bob. So I decided to visit a quaint Greek fishing/sponge dock village I had seen on Alt Rt.19.

I visited many of the shops, and had lunch at a lovely restaurant called Theo's Restaurant- 210 Dode Canese Blvd., Tarpon Springs, FLA.

The food here was great!! I had Spanakopita & Pastitsio- both were very yummy! The place was very clean and the staff was friendly. I took some pictures of the place (see above). The guy with chef's hat on - is the owner! Like I said they all were friendly. If you get the chance to stop in the area- go get some good food- at a good price!! LOL

I then headed over to Mia & Bob's. I stayed for a while and had dinner with them. They too had a care package for me!! (Thank you again Mia & Bob!!!)

Ahhhh to be loved !!! LOL We had a great time looking at old pictures, and chatting. They also gave me some places to see in CA,WA, and Vancouver, Canada.....

Then I went back to see Michael and Denise. We watched a movie and then off to bed- Had to be up early to start traveling again.

Take Care- I'm off to get more pictures....Donna
