A few pictures from yesterday.

Had a lovely evening last night at Staffs restaurant in Fort Walton Beach, fresh fish and couple of beers and some wine. Might be doubling up on this, sorry must be tired!!

Anyway we left Fort Walton this morning in cooler weather, about 75, and had a quick look at beautiful Destin Beach but just then it started raining, jackets on for about 15 minutes and then it stopped.

Done about 240 miles before really heavy rain and wind nearly pushed us off the road. Then ...

So the car is running fine. I wouldn't know. I had to stop driving because I was in shock from the accident. haha. Hmm.. But we're almost to the Florida border. We're in Valdosta, GA. Which is the last place to get cheap gas before you head into Florida. We stopped and ate some dinner at Pizza Hut and then got back on the road. We're trying to make it to the condo around midnight. We're just gonna probably sleep in and go to the beach tomorrow. Ya know...Take it easy.

Wednesday 15th July

When we arrived in Florida we were told that the Shuttle was scheduled to take off on Sat. 11th July. We decided to stay in Orlando until then as we were really excited to see it. Unfortunately the Shuttle was cancelled on Sat 11th July. It was re-scheduled for Sunday, then Monday and the final attempt was Wed 15th July 6.09pm. We drove to Titusville for all three and luckily for us it was third ...

... the over all experience proved to be not so great...it was pretty tramatizing infact (hillarious at the same time), that was until we saw the bathroom...I don't even want to get into it...bottom line, there will be no more Sonic for us on this trip, no way, no how. .....After the feeling of nausea had passed from seeing that disturbing bathroom scene, we set out once more to embark on our final destination, Valdosta...When leaving Sonic we plugged in the ...

... turnpike connects with I-75 at the Wildwood exit what of all things did we find crossing the road ??? No, not a chicken ....... a 3 foot alligator !!!! No joke !!! That was a sight to remember. May he rest in pieces with the convoys of trucks coming up behind me. We ended the day at 8:30pm EST in Lake Park, GA (just north of the Florida border) at a ...

Arrived at Suwanee River State Park in northern Florida and went to see Christa's ...

Well Folks we finally made it to a Bar-B-Que place. We had to wait till we finished to see if you we could give it a stamp of approval. As you can see by the picture we loved it!!! This stop officially starts the healthy kick....booo. Nothing like some delicious BBQ!!!

... the trials and tribulations of touring life, like the time when she was given one of the larger parts in the show, the role of June Carter Cash. She also believes in the virtues of brevity, "I like to keep it short so that people don't have to read a whole blog," Cantrell says. As for her favorite stop on the tour, she can't pick favorites just yet. "The whole experience has been great," she says with a smile you can hear, even though she's miles away.

... immediately. Today we drove northward up Interstate 75 to Lake City (not that we've seen a lake yet). It's a standard US town - Wal-Mart, Best Western, MacDonalds and Texaco. There's nothing here - it was very flat scenery driving up but loads of greenery. For the afficiandos amongst you if you click on "show trip route" and then "map ...
