Left all the cold and snow here in the Midwest on Feb. 3rd, the morning after the Blizz of '11.
Until that morning, whether we'd get off the ground was highly questionable.
A SHORT SUMMARY OF TRIP
FEB. 3rd: Left O'Hare and flew to Southwest Florida Airport. Got rental cars, stocked up and checked into the Cape Coral Holiday Inn Express.
Frank and I took a ride to Cape Coral Beach and then to Pine Island.
Met up with Frank's friends R.C. and Dave at the Twisted Conch for dinner then went over to Dave's. To think, just a short time earlier, we'd been up to our ___ in snow, now 80 degrees and sun.
FEB. 4th: Mark and Al were along with Frank and me. All of these people are railroad guys, including R.C. and Dave. The last two live in Cape Coral.
Al, Frank and I went back to Cape Coral Beach and walked the pier where we ran into the morning coffee club. Drove out to Malatcha by Pine Island, then back.
Had lunch out on the covered deck at Jimbo's. Boy, this is the life!
More to Come on 4th. --RoadDog
RoadDog's RoadLog Blog: Being my travels down those great two lane highways of this nation as well as news I learn about them from media sources. Since I'm also very interested in historic preservation, there will be a lot of that as well.
The Shamrock Court Motel in Sullivan, Missouri. It can be yours for $125,000. Lots of possibilities. Actually, now you're too late. Missouri's Roamin' Rich bought it.
