Driving to Panama City Beach

I am typing from the battery car. Lulu is at the wheel. Autopilot is on.

We are going to the Beachside Resort on Panama City Beach. They are right on the sand and have a big 90 degree pool.

Spring break is starting here. Lots of snowbirds stay at this resort.

It is 110 miles from home so we could make the entire round trip on our 360 mile range. Traffic on I-10 is light. It is sunny and 79 at 11:00 am. In a few miles we cross the time zone and it will be 10 am again.

People do not realize that it is 200 miles west to the end of the Florida panhandle from Tallahassee. Pensacola is the last city before you hit Alabama. Then before you know it you are in New Orleans and Mardi Gras.

Added Later - the pool heater and hot tub were not working. The beach was nice. The second day it only went up to 67 - so we went to Seaside and the Destin Outlets instead. Then we drove home 150 miles. We got home around 6 PM. Without the big heated pool - the Beachside Resort was a bit of a downer.
