Florida trip

[Ms Grumpy]

A couple years ago David and I made a trip to Denver for an Audio Show. We used our Astro and took out the back seats and put a blow up mattress in the back so that one of us could drive and the other could "rest". The day we left I went to work at 4am and worked 10 hours, then came home and made from Detroit all the way to Iowa. I was cruising !

On the way back we decided to make a detour through Kansas. I know, why Kansas? We have a friend who was having a party and invited us out to enjoy some good 'ole BBQ. We figured it was only about 8 hours from Denver to Kansas and did it. It was SO worth the drive. He fired up the grill and cooked us some of the biggest, juiciest, tastiest steaks we had ever had.

When we left his house we couldn't find a hotel within 100 miles. Little did we know that there was a huge NASCAR race in the area. We finally found a hotel, spent the night and made it home the next day.


The van handled the trip awesome, and we loved having the room. The mileage was up and down as the air thinned. But I did manage to average over 75 mph for the entire trip. Now we had planned to share in the driving, and we did. Our trip was over 3,000 miles. And David drove a whopping 250 miles of it.

With all that you have done, I am sure you will have an enjoyable trip.
