On my way to Florida.   Taking my Ford Focus down to Boynton Beach to live out its last days on the beach.   And taking tools and misc  that don’t fly well with us!

So I wanted to get a good start on Friday night,  everything says 24 hours from home.   So things have gone well.  I am in West Lafayette Indiana.   Home of Purdue University.   Farther than I thought I would get tonight.  And not totally smooth at that.  The Edens going into downtown Chicago is under construction,  but that still went pretty well.  It was on the way downtown that my GPS said there would be a major traffic problem.  I ingnored it until it was stop and go.  Got off on Toughy, did Cicero to E-something  a long way south to Western, and then back on I-90.  Worked very well and probably saved me a half hour of traffic.   The Skyway in Indianna is under construction also but that went well.   And once on Hwy 65 in Indiana it is just straight and clean.

So now at a Super 8,  cheap room that will do for 6 or 7 hours.  I want to get an early start and catch all the daylight I can tomorrow.   I am guessing a good 12 hours will get me to Valdosta GA.  Not far from the Florida State line.   Then a good meal and nights sleep and then Sunday should be an easy ride home.  That’s the plan!

Monday morning will try to get the car registered and licensed in Florida, and Monday afternoon fly home.   So when we go back down in December a car will be waiting.

And if things go smoothly I will have time Monday to stop at my favorite cigar shop, but will see.  Time to pour a short drink and get some shut eye.

take care,
