Back in Florida

Greetings from Palm Beach Gardens--

We arrived safely in Palm Beach Gardens last night around 10:45 p.m.--talk about a LONG day. Our drive took 13 hours plus we lost an hour when we drove from the Central time zone to the Eastern time zone. I drove the first five hours through Chattanooga, Tennessee and Atlanta, Georgia. We changed drivers in Perry, Georgia then it took us two hours to go 60 miles due to construction, rain, traffic and more pouring rain. We seemed to drive for hours and hours until we finally crossed the Georgia/Florida state line. We passed 197 RVs pulling cars from all over the country--as the snowbirds are headed south for the winter. During our trip, we made a list of the license plates we saw from across the country--we have 25 state license plates and two Canadian provinces. Lots of people traveling.

We stopped for dinner in Ocala, Florida and switched drivers for the last three hours. Finally 805 miles later we arrived in Palm Beach Gardens--it was 32 when we left Tennessee and 77 in Florida...a welcome change!

Today we are headed to Juno Beach before my 2:30 tee time--gotta get one more round in for 2007! Tonight we'll watch some bowl games and ring in the new year. Happy New Year everyone!
