Our trip to the Orange Bowl started out at the Tallahassee Airport at 8 AM this morning - not to fly - but to pick up our internet discounted rental car. The rental bill said $42.24 for the week. To my surprise - the coupon was accepted without hassle. We were expecting a Chevy Cobalt - but in parking spot 12 they left us a Buick LaCrosse with 8000 miles on it. So we loaded our bags - installed the Sirius radio - and headed east over I-10 - then down I-75. After five hours of driving - we were in our priceline.com hotel in Fort Pierce. Doing the math it means we averaged 72 miles per hour.
In the 360 miles of driving from 9AM to 2PM - we saw just one FSU magnetic sign and one flag. Hopefully the rest of the tribe will follow tomorrow.
It was warm and sunny in Fort Pierce - so we went to the beach - and then spent the rest of the day watching bowl games on the TV while using the wireless internet to send back this report.
Tomorrow morning we will drive to Gary's house in Plantation near the stadium. We will drive over to the hotel in Fort Lauderdale to see Sally - the number one Penn State fan in the world. She flew in alone - just to go to the bowl game with Nancy and me. Sally also is in possession of a VIP parking pass for the game. Of course we will take her.
The weather report for tomorrow and game time is good - good luck to our Penn State buddies - Go Noles!
Pictures tomorrow.
