The big trip to the South of the Land called Florida has started. Leaving the great city of Fair born Ohio behind along with part of the most precious part of my being. As I look forward to being in the warmth and enjoying a well spent time with my wife and my sister I also look back.
The 30th of December the year 2007 and both cars are packed, the garbage is on the street and I am ready to set sail for warmer weather. Patty will drive first and I will drive Char in her car to bring up the rear. It really makes a good way, as Chars car has this radar thing going and when Patty sets her cruise at 70 I can set the cruise at 75 and the radar thing keeps Chars car exactly the same distant from Patty's car. The only time that does not work well is when some crazed driver rams his or hers way between us. Then Chars car slows down and get the spacing right and when that same crazed driving moves out the car zooms forward with all the gusto of a nascar trying to take the lead. But 8 hours of driving is enough for all of us and so after several rest stops and keto walks, That is Chars little dog who is traveling with us, we arrived in Atlanta area about 4:30pm which gives us enough time to unwind and relax with "happy hour" before getting something to eat. We were thoughtful enough to ourselves to bring along the source of "happy hour" and the means to unleash the contents from it's container. New Years eve, our next stop will be in the Tampa area and we did not have the total forethought about that "happy hour". As I have planned this trip to take two days and two nights so as to arrive on the 1st day of 2008 and with driving times that meet not too of a rigorous schedule we need not leave this pet friendly hotel until about 9:00 am as well as trying to miss all the commuters going into Atlanta, if they plan on working on New Years eve, that is. So breakfast with our complimentary tickets and then off we will be.
