Our destination is Key West but getting there is the real trip. We will be traveling down the west coast of Florida to the Everglades and on to Key West. We never really know what we will discover along the way. Hope you enjoy following along.

St Augustine Via a Jacksonville Back Alley

Travel Note:  Do not trust the Garmin!  There we were heading down 95 when Lilleth* says head east on some obscure exit. Being obedient servants to all electronic devices I immediately veered right and followed her concise directions directly to a part of Jacksonville where tourists are rarely seen.  Let's describe this as early 70's urban renewal gone south.  Obviously we made it out and  landed in St Augustine unscathed.


St Augustine's old historic area is also full of alleys but nicely preserved and full of tourists. We stumbled into the Tiny Martini Bar and found the drinks to be oddly large.  We bailed on camping and found a room right in town.  Next stop the Gulf Coast.

*Lilleth is named for Kramer's cold calculating wife on Cheers. Seems even more appropriate now.
