After coming
back from a road trip to Florida with my wife Margaret, 1
week later, I was back in the car for a second road trip
down to the sunshine state for a reunion with all my brothers in Florida. This time though I
left home alone, and picked up my brother Larry in Tennessee on the
way.
The trip down
to Tennessee was uneventful. I left at 7am and arrived on
Larry & Gina's doorstep by 3pm. Gina fixed a nice
dinner, and we talked and hung out until bedtime. We did
come up with a plan. Rather than drive for 12 hours
straight, we would break it up and spend 1 night with
Larry's hotel points in southern Georgia, then finish the
travel and get in around the time others were flying in.
The next
morning, we packed up the Chevy Trax with suitcases and
golf clubs, and squeezed in and got on the road. Larry took right away to
the license plate game, but was a little perturbed on all
the ones I saw while on the way to his house.
We arrived at
our destination at the Valdosta, Georgia Hilton Garden Inn
where we had a nice dinner and and bedded for the
night, then continued on in the morning for Steve's place. We
got to Steve's in the afternoon and met my brothers. Over
the next 5 days we had non-stop adventures including
Roadside America stops, an air boat ride, going out on a
yacht, gambling including the casino and the Bonita
Springs Poker Room, lots of sports including pickle ball, putt-putt,
basketball, bocce, seeing gators, and lots of sun, great
food and drink. Thank you Steve for hosting. |
