Check Out Day

Closing time. Last call, on steroids. The end of a brief stay in ArnoldPalmerville, aka Paradise. The trim Gulf waves are still rolling up on "our" beach, but by noon it will fall to others to bask in this measured spectacle.

It's I-95, northbound, for us. We have stops planned along the way to ease our way back into reality. Planning to arrive in the Bay State by St. Patrick's Day.

There are a lot of factors involved in comparing locations, especially when one is home, the other an interlude. When it comes to February and March weather, however, there's no comparison. Even if every day is more boring than the last, which is clearly not the case, the warmth and sun of south Florida reigns supreme.

So,  with a big collective sigh, we switch out the Jimmy Buffet beach tunes for Willy Nelson, as we get back on the road again.
