Packing was tough, it felt like I was trying to stuff about 10% more junk into the bags it came out of..  I'm definitely going to ship some of this stuff home from Florida instead of trying to pack it all in again.  That should leave some room in the car for Souvenirs.

Breakfast in the Holiday Inn, the chef Paulie said on Friday that they had brunch Sunday starting at 10, but it really didn't start until 11, so we just had the breakfast bar and got ready to leave.

Loaded the car and said our goodbyes, another hug from Jeannie and one from Terry took some of the pain of goodbyes away.  We hit the road around 11:30.  I took the first leg today since Mike drove us home from the restaurant last night.  I got most of the curvier roads, then after we hit major highway we stopped to top up and grab some water and snacks for the road and switched seats.

We found some wonderful weather on the way to Florida today, if you were watching the weather channel, we drive through that big orange spot on the map of severe thunderstorms.  We arrived at just about 12:00, so it took us about 12 hours to drive to Tampa and onother 30 minutes to drive out to St Pete Beach to our hotel.
