Winter travel is always fun. The snow had stopped overnight and roads were great as we headed down the 95 towards Florida. All through NY we tried to use Express lanes and highways with no trucks which worked out well. As we travelled through NJ we stayed in cars only lanes in the centre (with trucks on outside lanes) and it was slick. Continued on around Philly, Baltimore with no problems and then ran into traffic above Washington which did not let up until almost Richmond. Stopped in Petersburg, Virginia after a long day of driving.
Thursday was clear and sunny and warming up. Great run to Brunswick, Georgia and we are finally seeing some palm trees and warm temps in high 60's. 😎
St Patrick's day we had an easy day down the 17 and 301 to Ocala Florida . Only downer was the AC was not working and the temp outside was 80. We stopped in Ocala at O'Calaghan's Irish pub for a fried Bologna sandwich, smoked meat sandwich and Irish beer. The staff was dressed for St Paddy's but the music was definitely not .
Continued on our way to Marilyn's place in Wildwood and had a delightful time during cocktail time in the drive way and a delicious dinner. Caught up on a lot of news.
Saturday morning on the road and down the 75 to Far Horizons where our room was ready. Unloaded, groceries, suitcase and groceries to Derek's spot at Emerald Isle, supper, chairs collected at Smith's and then to Tampa airport to pick up Derek, Katja and Christoph . So happy to see them especially since Katja had a stressful time checking in. She was missing a special form for entering the US which they did not know about. Luckily it worked out and she downloaded the form in time
