Florida

How many wheels?

While I am from upstate New York, I lived in Florida for over 20 years.  All my vehicles had been used to that point, so I decided that since it was summer all year round in Florida (yea, right), my first vehicle would only have 2 wheels, an '83 CB650SC Honda Nighthawk.

The first road trip was back to upstate for a fraternity reunion in the spring, and I darn near froze my butt off aince I was acclimated to Florida.  By my next trip, I was ready.

As a valued Army Reservist, I got my boss to authorized travel by POV for my summer camps in the south and had special t-shirts printed up for the trip home, passing the military convoys with "Happyness is Ft ------ in your rear view mirror" on my back.

There were trip to Alabama for family wedings, but the only really foolish adventure as a trip to DC that I took for a new year eve party during (what I thought) was a mild winter.  Had to leave in the wee hours of the morning, and by the time the sun came up on the NC boarder, my saddle bags were empty and I resemblesd the mascot of a certain tire company, as I had every stitch of clothing on my body (including the tux from the party) in an attempt to keep warm.

I'm older now, and don't think my body could do it anymore.

Well it started out on August 8th had to drive my sons belongings from Ft Lauderdale, Florida to the great state of Massachusetts.  Along the way I stopped off in Orlando, then made my way to Raleigh, NC. Stayed overnight and made my way to Philly, then off to Providence, RI where I got to see some men who I've been talking with since another escort decided to use my pictures lol.

Then I picked my son up at the airport in Boston, got him settled into college (yeah that is what I thought)... but had to stay in Boston two weeks (son was ill and had to cart him back and forth to hospital) but everything is okay now.  I was planning to go out to Texas because I joined a board out there several months ago and have been teasing the men since then.  So, as I was planning to leave Boston, Hurricane Irene decided to screw me literally and I didn't like it!  I didn't want to stay in Boston so I headed to NYC and stayed one night.  I've never been to NYC and I was one block off of Broadway and the lights, ohhhhh the lights, I was like a kid in a candy store.  I didn't get to do much there because the next day was EVACUATION day.  Now, I've never been to NY and don't know about the dang tunnel.  Well let me tell you, I was 4 blocks from the tunnel, and it took an hour and a half to get into the tunnel, had tears running down my face because I have no idea where I am!  Had this idiot truck driver get out of his truck and literally have a break down. Didn't even get to see the Empire State Building, except in my rear view mirror as I crossed into New Jersey :(

My next stop was Pittsburgh for a night, then off to Indianapolis where NICERACK69 wanted me to go, so you know the rest lol.  Stayed there for 2 days then made my way to Chattanooga, TN what a beautiful state to drive through, I tell ya!  After that, it was Mississippi and then finally TEXAS, yeehaw!

Went to Dallas first (love Texas men) then off to Houston for 2 days and then back to Dallas, cuz I just couldn't stay away.  Had to leave a little early from Texas as I got bad news back home about my Mom.  She had to have her thyroid removed while I was in Boston and the biopsy came back not good.  So now I'm back home with her and look forward to getting back to business with you HOT FLORIDA MEN.

Ladies, traveling is a hoot.  I put 8000 miles on my car and every single mile was well worth the trip.  BOSTON ROCKS! love the men there!  But too damn cold for me... lol

A BIG THANK YOU TO ALL THE GENTLEMEN WHO GAVE ME A REVIEW - I LOVE THEM!  8 NEW ONES FOR YOU TO ENJOY...

The post was allowed to stay because it's not exactly an ad, and is about traveling....which can be good for discussion.

So feel free to add to the discussion with your own happy / horror stories of travel!!

As long as posts don't turn into ads.....we can have some fun with it!!

A few Summers ago, I packed my Hummer SUT and my dog and I drove from South Florida across the country up into Vancouver, Canada, down the California coast, into Mexico,  then back across home to Florida. I did not pre-book any hotels. I just drove when I felt like driving and stopped when I felt like stopping.  I stayed in hotels ranging from a roadside Motel 6 to a five star hotel in Vancouver that was pet friendly.  It was the most beautiful experience I ever did. I saw so many beautiful sites, meet so many great people and took a ton of pictures.  In fact, I added a blog which you can still see on my site with all of my pictures and adventures....well, not all of my adventures ;) We do live in a great land and I strongly urge anyone who has not traveled our country to do so!

Great post!  Thanks for sharing with us.

two summers enjoying the cool temperatures in the west.  Did a little part-time work to help pay the bills but oh what a great experience.  The only negative was being away from the wonderful ladies in Florida.

Several times over the course of my life I've had to drive either across the country, California to DC, or even farther, Washington State to Florida. Each time I've crossed America I am always amazed by the differences in our culture, landscape, and the various ways in which others treat you.

The most exciting road trip I undertook started in northern California, and ended in Jacksonville, Florida. I was not impressed with the way California looked, and I was very uncomfortable for the majority of the drive because of the hostility of the people I encountered along the way. Until I started crossing into the southern states. Now, I've watched the movies that show hillbillies dragging lonely beauties off into the wilderness to inbreed them for their diabolical purposes, but I have never thought that is a good representation of anyone in America. Until I got to Louisiana.

Louisiana. How I don't miss you.

I have never in my life seen more redneck, backward, hillbilly people in my life. That's not to say that they weren't NICE. They very much were, but the stereotype had to start somewhere and I'm quite sure that it started there. That's not to paint the entire state with a broad brush that says they are all that way, I don't think they are, but when I got offered sweet tea, and a gator tail kabob at a gas station? Hrm, I got my ass out of there. Now since living in the south for some time I've come to appreciate the down home, give you the shirt off your back mentality that most people have here. I can honestly say that I think southern people are the nicest, most welcoming, genuine people that I've ever met. That first drive through the south though was an eye opener unlike any other.

Sincerely yours,
Juliette Laurent
