Drove to St. George Island on the Gulf of Mexico, about 80 miles from Panama City where we got a room and went to Harry A's and the Blue Parrot.

Being an account of some things I'm interested in, what I'm doing, and reflections on my past, especially music.
Listen to this man. Seven years of college, you know. Trying to reason with 2020 and, now, 2022.

St. Augustine to St. George Island: Atlantic Coast to Gulf Coasf
APRIL 28TH, TUESDAY: Raining this morning and in the forecast all day. Considering spending another day in St. Augustine and tour Castillo de San Marcos. Took a ride out to St. Augustine Beach. Still raining so drove north of A1A and eventually got to Jacksonville so decided just to proceed to the Florida Panhandle since we were near I-10.

Heading to Jacksonville Beaches, Ended Up in St. Augustine
APRIL 27TH, MONDAY: So much nicer leaving Tybee Island today as the traffic jam was gone. Drove to Savannah and toured Old Fort Jackson and saw the divers working on the wreck of the CSS Georgia. Then drove through Savannah along a regular oak tree/Spanish moss tunnel and out to I-95 and took it to Jacksonville, Florida.
We were hoping to find a motel and check out any of the three beaches by the city, but only found two expensive hotels and got back on I-95 and took it to St. Augustine, where we found an NTN place called Mardi Gras and played there. Decided to stay nearby and got a room at the Howard Johnson's about two buildings down. Drove around the town and then played NTN at the BW3 (Buffalo Wild Wing). Paid $5.70 for two Pepsis. BW3s are EXPENSIVE!!!
Back to the Mardi Gras and watched the Bulls lose their game.

Heading for the Warmth: December 30,2012 "WhaddaYaHave?"
Very cold this morning for the sunny and warm South, if you ask me.
Back on I-24 and past all those familiar Civil War names to Atlanta, which now has not one, but two bypasses, but we were going straight through downtown as I had visions of the Varsity in mind. Calling themselves the World's Largest Drive-In, it is right by the Georgia Tech campus, and evidently near the Georgia Dome, judging by the all the Atlanta Falcon fans assembled.
Of course, had to get some hot dogs and a big orange drink as Andy would say. Denny may have missed it a couple days ago, but we didn't. Always love their employees and you'd best know what you're ordering when you get to the head of the line. "WhattaYaHave!!! WhattaYaWant!!!" very loudly and earnestly.
Then, onto I-75 where we joined the Great RVusBigus Migration south to Florida for a really long way. I always suggest stopping at any and all Florida Welcome Centers Along the interstates. You find the usual, plus your choice of fresh squeezed orange juice or grapefruit juice. Small cups, but mighty fine way to say, "You're here."
Took I-10 east to Jacksonville, then a bypass to St. Augustine and got a room at the Super 8, next to Panama Hattie's where we unwound and watched the Cowboy-Redskin game with a lot of rabid fans.
