Florida Trip – Part 1
The drive down was interesting. We had to leave a day later than expected because of a snow storm in Columbus, and during the trip we encountered a detour because of a rock slide and a snow storm in South Carolina.
Night 1 – Gatlinburg, Tennessee
- Gatlinburg
This was an interesting place. I actually had no idea that it was such an active little place, kind of like a cross between Boulder Colorado and Orlando. I would not mind spending a week-end here at some point in the future.
Night 2 – Savannah, Georgia
- Snow in South Carolina
The drive in was a real POA. From Tennessee to South Carolina on I-40, we encountered a detour because of a rock slide. We did not realize this but thanks to my Verizon Air Card I was able to Google the detour and we managed to take the Dixie Highway down to I26 and onward to South Carolina.
While traveling through this state we now found ourselves outrunning a freak snow storm, yes a snow storm. This was exactly the reason we did not want to drive on Wednesday.
So when we finally made it to Savannah, the hotel was very understaffed and I waited about 30 minutes to check-in. I was in a terrible mood, but we made it to the room in time for the Opening Ceremonies of the 2010 Winter Olympics.
Days 3-5 – Casey Key, Florida
- Scott, Emily and Lilu
The drive down was great. It was in the 50′s and sunny. I was thinking to myself, wouldn’t it be nice if we had weather like this all the time.
The beach house is nice and the ocean is great. It’s been a little cool, but it’s sunny and not 12+ inches of snow like it is back home in Columbus.
We have just been relaxing and enjoying ourselves.
