sorry to have left the followers hanging yesterday, but here is whats been happenin...
we started the day in new orleans. the hotel we stayed at was not the greatest "4 star" we could have found. many issues with over charging and not having free high speed internet or breakfast. we dont get the fact that expensive hotels dont have free things. i would think the more expensive the more you have to offer at no charge. whatever. anyway, tony and i got to spend some time walking around the french quarter in the early morning. it was nice. then we met a maui jim sales rep, ray, for a photo shoot after crossing the longest bridge in the world. seriously, its 24.5 miles long.
after new orleans, we stopped by convington, then through mississippi to mobile. from there, spanish fort, foley and orange beach, alabama. the folks at shades in orange beach were kind enough to hang out a little late so we could finish their hybrid. we were able to relax at a sports bar there called rafters. very cool. we had a couple of salads then it was back on the road to destin where we stayed the evening.
we took care of the shops in the destin area, had a little waffle house, then stopped off at the beach for a minute or two...
after that, it was off to pier park in panama city beach. fun times. did you know there is a ron jons there? small, but its there. nothing like the real thing. then i got to spend some internet quality time with andrea and isa. that was perfect. thanks starbucks, and thanks to my boy tony for asking them to turn the music down so we could "hang out" 1500 miles apart.
from there, we landed in tallahassee. we will leave early for tampa and st. pete. then on to marco island and the everglades!!!
Um, VERY COOL! You guys are really truckin' a long...or is it Malibuing along? I can't wait until you get to Boston. How long do you get to stay with me?
