Crashing the Party

The biggest party night of the year is tomorrow night. Sometimes I can't tell if we are partying to cast off the year behind us or for the hope of a better year ahead. No matter, there are likely more of us out there just for the chance to party. 

Chris and I expect to be awake for the New York City ball drop tomorrow night, but we will be arriving back at our home on New Year's Eve after the flight out of Baltimore later today. So tomorrow will be a long day as we celebrate both the day's arrival and the year's end. In retrospect, I'm not sure why I booked an evening flight, but I did and I guess I have to own it. Our trusty car is waiting for us in long-term parking and if we don't check bags we should be home about 40 minutes after we land at PBI. 

I took the rather uninspiring image at the top of the item because yesterday was the first time that I needed to wear my sunglasses outside in almost a week. The overcast skies had set in and I was concerned that I might not see the sun again until New Year's Eve in South Florida. Thankfully, that will not be the case as it is supposed to be a bright, partly sunny, and cold day. At least it will be sunny, but the projected high of 33 degrees is a bit too cold for me. 

It is going to be cold in Tequesta when we arrive. The projected high for the day is only 65 degrees and it will be about 50 degrees when we arrive tonight. What happened to the 80s? I guess I will need to wear a sweater on the plane.

Travel days can be a real pain! But, party on!
