Driving to Florida in my convertible was going to be fun, or so I thought. To pack the car we had to use small suitcases and wedge a few things in the spaces in between. There was no room for anything extra. We packed a few things in the back seat which is a seat in name only, no one could ride there so the car is effectively a two seater. After all, you never wear everything you take. If you are like Jackie and I you will do laundry in your condo and buy at least a few t-shirts while you are there...this trip was no exception. I think I bought 6 t-shirts and one pair of swimming trunks and Jackie bought a couple of pairs of shorts, a halter top and a few t-shirts.
We were packed; everything was ready so I had the bright idea to just leave Wednesday night. I thought we could drive through one tank of gas then stop for the night. The first problem with my idea was that my car gets better gas mileage then I though. The second problem; that it was not as easy to find a vacant hotel room. Regardless it turned out okay.
Vacation, you always forget something… We forgot Sid! Sid has traveled with us on a number of trips and felt as if we couldn’t leave him behind on the trip. Sid flew down on Friday with some friends and we hooked up with him on Saturday. This is Sid on the airplane:
Sid is the original Party Animal and you can see he had an enjoyable time on the airplane.
Now, I have to admit that after 3 hours in my car I was beginning to realize how absolutely uncomfortable the thing actually is. Thursday we spent about 10 hours driving in the car which made me even sorrier we had driven it. Actually, I was sorry I had driven the convertible until we were about 75 miles into Florida. I put the top down on the car and we drove to our hotel, 80 degrees and sunshine.
The drive to our final destination on Friday was only about 250 miles. We could take our time, see the sights and drive with the top down. I’m now glad we drove the car, we had to put up with a little discomfort but it was worth it. …my head got sunburned too! I decided to head through the country but bailed on the idea of seeing the country when we realized that the most exciting site was “Yeehaw Junction” which was just a junction in the road. I found a way back to the interstate and we headed on to the condo.
We had checked inn to our condo, kind of unpacked and headed to the Winn Dixie for a few supplies and staples for the week. We had no intention of cooking for ourselves so we purchase a few snacks, coffee, etc. Winn Dixie is where I saw this lady who had obviously had been through several different surgical procedures. My guess is that she is one of the those people who are addicted to plastic surgery or she was one hell of an ugly lady to start with and what you could see was an improvement; I really don’t know which it is but she was not a pretty lady.
I found myself staring at her, I couldn’t look away! If I could describe her look it would be one of recent nose because there had to still be some swelling, eye work, the face lift that pulled her lips taught combined with some kind of lip implant or Botox that gave her a Neanderthal look. Add to this her stringy hair, breast and butt implants and she was a sight to see; freakish sight to see.
Once back at the condo we ordered a pizza and settled in for the evening…and that was the end of days one and two.
