I took my time about loading, hoping the rising sun would warm the Gulf Coast landscape quickly. I fired the engine at 7:25 a.m., gassed at a Shell station in Gulfport, got onto eastbound I-10 and settled in for a day in the saddle. This was the first time I'd ridden any part of I-10 along the Gulf Coast on this bike and the ride began to feel like an adventure somewhere after Mobile, as I crossed into the Florida Panhandle. I stopped at the first rest area inside Florida for a snack, to check in with my wife and to shoot a photo of the bike with my phone. Lunch was a hasty one at the Chipley, Fla. Wendy's. I turned south on I-95 at Jacksonville, finally shedding my jacket liner somewhere north of Palm ... read more

Daytona Beach Having flown in to Florida INT airport late in the afternoon we shacked up in a motel for the night. The first thing to strike you when you leave the domestic flights terminal is the humidity, fans all over the garage level just move damp warm air around. An auspicious start to a relaxing break. The next day, after a relatively decent night’s sleep we picked up our hire car and drove straight down to Daytona Beach. The journey was 214 miles and no turns, just one long, straight and flat road with some of the most torrential rain I have ever seen. On arriving in Daytona it immediately struck me as the setting to GTA3. You feel like you have stepped back 30 years, and that feeling doesn’t change once you enter the ... read more

Early Tuesday morning I was in the air well on my way to sunny Florida. The flight was laughable as the 757 aircraft was a former America West plane repainted to mesh with US Airways fleet. The guy sitting next to me and I were joking about the delay announced before we boarded due to a mechanical issue (despite the plane having been on the ground for 2 hourse before our flight). Once on board the overhead TVS (read: 15" crt monitors from 1985, some turning greenin the corners from magnetic interference and almost all displaying slightly different color tones and) began to run though the safety features of "our" aircraft........including the permitted use of personal electronics, such as a personal CD player. In a time when there are iPOD vending machines at the airport would ... read more
