The ongoing and updating clifnotes of my travel...cause I can.

Day One: We got up around 7 am, stuffed our gear and ourselves into the car and were off, driving from Texas to Florida. 16 hours or so later we pulled into a HoJo in Tallahassee and passed out.

Day Two: We set out far too early for me...again, especially since the previous night got me no sleep what so ever. I think the couple in the room above us was holding a snoging-marathon. I heard the matress squeek for at least an hour. From Tallahassee we drove all the way to Key Largo, kind of a record for us because we got in around 7:00 pm or so...pretty early. But then, usually we're driving all the way to Marathon. Significant difference. Along the way I picked up FF3 for the DS and played it most of the night. :D

Day Three: Day three is rainy. and no one wants to drive down a slim key highway in the rain. Trust me. it's about 2 and the rain is just now stopping. Yay. We drove down to Marathon to the little key we're all collecting on to stair up at the sky like suicidal turkeys for a week. Yay! Really, its much more fun than it sounds. The skies are beautiful, the company is funny, and the food isn't half bad. Now that the rain's stopped I am daring to bring out my lap top...further entries to come.

Day Four: Guess what? It's raining. :D I have never seen so much rain in Marathon during this time of year in three years!!! sigh, oh wells. It was kind of nice to wake up to rain on the top of our tent this morning. And man am I aware its morning. So tired...blegh. It would seem I'm stuck under the mess tent until the torrential down pour stops. Some time today we're going out to Key West (going to spend the night in one of the hotel rooms up there) and then its off to Dry Tortugas (SP?) the next day. This means the next post will be in a few days. Ta.

Day Five: Walked all over Key West today, checking out shops. We've been down a few times so I've already seen alot of the tours and what not. I still like looking at all the grotesquely overpriced crap. Not to mention the ritzy ones...its some weird phenom....rich people come to Key West to spend money, go fig. Going back to the hotel now, its beautiful...so nice and lush. I'm going to enjoy every respit from the tent that I can!

Yay, saw the Dry Tortugas and Fort Jefferson. Lots of pretty birds, snorkling along the coral...so great.

Day Six: Got back from Tortugas last night and crashed in the tent. Oh, was so exhausted. Just spent the better part of this day lounging around and doing last minute adjustments to the scope. Its about to rain so I'm going to go run for cover under the mess tent.

Day Seven: Its rainy, cold, and windy. And it doesn't apear to be geting better. Oh well, later on today we'll be having a raffle to give away prizes and stuff. I hope I get something. Other than that we're just siting around. Doesn't look like anything but sucker holes tonight so we probably will put up the scopes early.
