If you have followed along and paid attention you know this trip has multiple goals. One is to see America. Old enough to remember Charles Kuralt and his tour of American back roads? Far from being Charles but that is what we are atempting in our own feeble way. If you paid attention the second goal was mentioned in "a little this, a little that" back on 9/5.
Alabama ain't it but parts of Florida certainly could be. But that would mean leaving our friends behind. That would not be easy. Everbody has to live their own lives, but the older we get, the more dear those friendships become, the more cherished. Friends from years gone by are still dear to us, but not as close as before, either emotionally or geographically. Friends close and dear to us now, maybe be farther away soon due to decisions they must make. Life can be a cruel bitch.
While calling Florida home has some appeal, there are negatives in regards to future plans. Who knows, next years trip out west may pull us that way. When do you find your perfect spot? Or do you just wander, constantly searching for "that spot"
Don't worry kids, you will inherit more than I did. Of course I inherited not a damn thing so the bar is pretty low. Don't quit your day job just yet...
