Dede's Last Hurrah
Eric arrived to meet us in Charleston yesterday - October 15th - on his 23rd birthday. We will officially change the guard tomorrow morning with him taking over as (a much more able) First Mate assisting The Captain in sailing Andiamo home, while I am flying back to Naples with some mixed feelings. I am sure to write about my "re-entry" in the coming days, but for now please enjoy our photos of our couple of days here in fabulous Charleston. The weather could not have been more glorious and it was so special to see Eric and enjoy our time here together.....more when I am home.....

Catalyzed by my husband David's unexpected early retirement and cemented by our 25-year-old son Eric 's eagerness to (pay his way and) join us, I find myself a reluctant but willing third-shift circumnavigator....well not really. [...]
