We made it safe into Monterey last night. This is our first chance to access email since before the STORM. Yes, it was as bad as you see on TV... we haven't had a TV since October 24th, haha. It was so hard to see our beautiful Florida so destroyed, it made me cry the first time I left the hotel. Most the trees we saw had the bark blown off of them if they were still standing, and most of them didn't make it through. The hotel we stayed in through the storm still didn't power as of November 6th.
Monterey is beautiful so far. The people here are very nice. We have ocean to the west and mountains on our east. Its incredible to see. The town looks like something from a painting.
Our furniture was supposed to arrive today, but didn't. The movers tried to call our old home phone number last week and it was disconnected, so they put everything into storage. They will deliver and unpack everything next Monday. In the meantime, Army Community Service has lent us dishes and kitchen goods and Jeff's friend Angela has lent us a blow up bed. The house is great, though - three bedrooms, 3 bathrooms, new carpet and a cute backyard.
