drive to Sarasota
Saturday, February 9, 2013, 06:00 PM
We had breakfast and loaded the car up this morning. We got going by 7:02 AM, not bad. It's 36 degrees outside. Topped off the gas in Florence at 3.28 and also bought 2 bacon, egg and cheese biscuits. Traffic was surprisingly heavy for a Saturday. We think it's cars escaping the blizzard which is going on in the NorthEast. Libbie called bill. He said power was out but his gas log is running. Portsmouth was showing 100% out this morning when we left. She also later talked to Mary and George who were on generator in Tiverton. Their generator doesn't run the electric heat strips. Stopped in St Mary for gas at 3.54 and lunch which was a McDonalds Snack Wrap. Traffic was sluggish through Orlando with a little stop and go through the Seaworld-Disney corridor. Traffic picked up again after Disney. We got to the condo at 6:15 PM. Unpacked the car, changed clothes and had dinner at the clubhouse. We both had salmon on a plank with Cabernet. Desert was chocolate tort. After dinner we did a quick Publix trip for milk and soup for lunch. It's a warm 78 degrees this evening. |
