We haven't taken a real driving vacation since, er, uh, well -- we really don't remember when. Because we are now retired and have more time than money, and since our automobiles only get the miles from trips to the golf course and back, and since the airlines have all become such a royal Pain In The Tail Section (that's right, the airlines are the PITTS), we decided to pack up the car and head to Key West, Florida.
The trip was actually precipitated by Cindy's youngest nephew's high school graduation in Baton Rouge, Louisiana. The mid-spring timing was perfect and since we would be half-way to the Florida Keys anyway, we decided to add a few extra days and see what the "other" US coast had to offer.
We've packed the golf clubs (no sense wasting all that "extra" trunk space) and plan to make a few additional stops along the way. Only a portion of the trip is pre-planned, so we're going to mix in a few long days on the road with some quiet relaxing time either on a golf course or a beach. In between the fun and the sun (and the inevitable lost golf balls) we will attempt to post every few days.
Glad to see you are blogging again. Always fun to tag along electronically. Looking forward to the next posting. Keep it between the white lines!
