East Coast Trip

Have you ever taken 10 vacations in one?

Our recently traveled 2 week East Coast Trip was a whirlwind tour.

Sally & Sam, Dockie and Ann, and Charlie and I traveled from Pt. Orange, Florida to Calais, Maine on Hwy. 1 or 1A all along the East Coast of the United States.

We tried to outrun Hurricane Ernesto from Charleston, S.C. to Myrtle Beach but finally pulled off the road for shelter in Pawley Island, S.C.

winds were around 70 mph...

Sam made the remark that

"We stupid Floridians have traveled 740 miles to be in the eye of the storm.."

Along our route we saw more boats than we dreamed existed....rode more ferries than I can count and saw east coast lighthouses everywhere...

America's coastline is truly beautiful...three years ago with Dockie and Ann we did the Pacific Coast Hwy. from Washington state to Tijuana, Mexico...

that too, was a whirlwind tour.

This trip we ended our approximately 5,000 miles by taking the autotrain from Lorton, Virginia to Sanford, Florida and saved ourselves about 800 miles.

......One side note....no serious shopping was done whatsoever....

the guys had 3 GPS on this trip and our talking one we named 'Susie Q'....

she never, ever offered us a place to shop....

she found hotels at night, seafood all over the coast, gas stations, ferries, lighthouses and marinas....but NO SHOPPING!

Susie Q has now been retired!

I made 602 pictures with my digital camera....you will find a few below...

God Bless the good ole.....U.S.A.!
