Exeter Bound

What a morning! I thought I gave myself plenty of time to make my train, but I just made it! I had forgotten that I needed to fill the car up before returning it so that put me behind and almost caused me to miss my train. First I missed the turn off to the gas station, then there was a line up. Once I was finished I booted it back to Hertz to drop off the car - which is at the train station. I dropped my keys and ran out the door, I'm sure they thought I was crazy. Went to print my ticket off and the machine wouldn't print. I had to get in line and have one of the agents print it for me. The train arrived as I was doing this so I had to run to the train. Whew! My ticket was good for the next train in an hour but it wouldn't have been convenient.

Arrived in Exeter around lunch time and Keith, Dale, Vern and Olivia picked me up. We went into town (well Exeter is a city - largest one in the South West of England) to meet Lauren, Chris and Jack who were shopping. It was so nice to see Chris and Vern! The girls shopped for a bit then met the boys at a restaurant for lunch and drinks. Once finished we headed back to Dale & Lauren's. We spent the evening relaxing and just enjoying all of us being together as it happens maybe once a year.
