Is the trip really over or is the adventure just on hiatus . . . until we roar off again on our motorcycles?

We spent some time around Seacrest, Seagrove and Destin on Saturday and went for a late afternoon walk on the beach. The sun was shining and the sound of the waves of the ocean was soothing and relaxing. It was a great day! Sunday morning around 7:30 a.m, we left the beach townhouse where were staying. The sky was blue and it looked like a beautiful day at the beach so I really hated to leave. I would have LOVED to stay another week but knew that I needed to go home [you do have to go home sometime right? . . . isn't that why they call it home?]. The clouds rolled in on us within 20- 30 minutes of leaving the beach. We had checked the weather and knew that there was a big chance of finding rain on the way home, so we put our rain pants on before we left. I really don't mind riding in the rain anymore [although I don't like riding in major storms . . . wind with intense rain and lightening, OR riding in extremely cold weather when it is raining]. It is a bit of a pain though, to stop and put on the rain suit in the midst of a ride. There never seems to be a great place to stop to do that, and if it has already started to rain you get wet while doing it [which causes you to rush while putting the suit on, making it a bit stressful]. Actually, putting the jacket on is no big deal but to get the pants on you either have to put them on over your boots [without taking the boots off], which is too frustrating, or you have to take your riding boots off [one at a time while standing on the foot still in the boot] and teeter-totter while getting that leg in the rain pant . . . then putting that boot back on [rarely tying it tight enough the first time because of rushing] and then doing the same thing with the other leg. It seems we had this fun experience almost daily while on this trip. You think I would get good at it with all that practice! In any case when there is a good chance for rain, we find it easier to put the pants on that morning and then we just have to stop and put the rain jacket on if it starts to rain. So, we put the pants on before leaving, anticipating the possiblity of rain, but were happy that we never ran into rain. The clouds threatened most of the day and we did have a few sprinkles here and there. We made it back home in four hours, with only one quick stop for fuel. Home . . . sweet home!
