Christy and Perry Saving the World

Packing up Christy finds two of her special tea bags – she has been milking one miserable bag for about 3 days. Next stop Detroit (the narrows). We’re going to visit Melissa and Don – old friends who wisely talk us into just powering through the drive from Nashville to Detroit instead of making it…

We love America. Everything that is good and great about America is embodied in all things found in Nashville. Sure, it can be a bit gawdy, a bit tacky, a bit boozy but if you look past that you see the heartland and the purity of the American dream. These people are the ones that…

Holy smokeronis, MUCH different temperature now, especially as it is overcast and a bit windy. We had hoped to take a spin through the Huntsville Space and Rocket Museum but it opens late, is quite expensive and we have a big day ahead of us already. So no Huntsville t-shirts which is pretty much the…

This makes one month since our departure. I’m up before 6 can’t sleep anymore on the hard pan and not going to bother reinflating these g-d thermarests again. Besides, we want to pack up and go in a hurry as we have a big day ahead. Thankfully it never rained again, pretty windy and much…

Up early for workout, shower, coffee. While waiting for Christy I have the brilliant idea that instead of leaving today and getting partway to Huntsville, AL, we stay here another day and burn it all day tomorrow. She agrees but that makes my decision NOT to get out the double bed mattress a poor one.…

OK this is getting to be a pattern. My thermarests deflate pretty quickly through the night, I get up a couple times to reinflate but by early morning I have a pretty natural incentive to get up and out. Workout in the day room while the sun comes up, it’s gonna be a warm one…

We’re up pretty early and packed, ready to go after a coffee and farewells. Steve not feeling well (I have that effect on people) so hopefully our departure will improve his wellbeing. It has been a great few days, unbelievable hospitality and loads of fun. Except for the euchre games. We’re on our way to…

Thought I forgot, didn’t you? Nah, just been camping and without good Internet for 3 days. Another perfect weather day in paradise. Gonna be 29C again today – a little bit of cloud cover though so sun does not feel so punishing. Pat and Steve go off to their workouts, Christy and I stay behind…

My sister’s birthday today – Happy Birthday Julie! We partake in the regular morning routine of Steve and Pat – Pat and Christy go to her gym for yoga, I go with Steve to LA Fitness for a swim, all by bikes. It’s a nice system they have here – neither of us will drive…

Up early, workout, swim, coffee. Pack the car and get ready to roll. Got about 3 hours to go to hit the Coral Castle and then on to Delray Beach. Liked it here tho, even our quirky little Coconut Cove hotel. 2 hours later we’re at the Coral Castle which is pretty interesting, a little…
