Day 2 of my road trip...

Dawned nice and sunny which made me quite happy. Since there was no rain I decided to take a couple of pics before I left the hotel (not as early as I wanted but as you all know, I'm not a morning person, LOL).
Tuesday's driving was so much better then Monday. Was it because I was more comfortable behind the wheel of the porche? Now I was driving like an old pro. Quite honestly, my worry was the Porche would be so sensitive that if I gave it a little gas it would zoom off but it was not like that at all. It has power but it's very controlled. Definitely being more comfortable helped but also the weather made things so much better. When the drive started it was 70 degrees and by the time I hit the keys it was over 80 degrees. I was totally cruising and thought I would hit Key West pretty early in the day but once you hit the FL turnpike the speed drops down to 45mph so even though I was a little over a hundred miles away it took me a few hours to get there.

It's a beautiful drive though. Even though it was a slow drive the roads are sea level, the water is literally a few feet from the road and gorgeous. I really went to the Keys with no idea what it was like but I was kicking myself for not staying longer. But I get ahead of myself. I was going to have Karen take a pic of me in her car but she took over custody so fast I didn't have a chance, LOL. We met in a parking lot so I could follow them home and apparently the fact it took me 10 minutes to turn made her nervous I wouldn't be able to follow them out of the lot (and it would have been true, they were turning left with no signal, I would have been there 20 minutes!) so I scooted over and she took the reins. We were both happy with that situation, LOL.

The place Karen is staying is gorgeous. I chose to stay in the upstairs room so I could enjoy the view. This is what I saw outside my window.
I really love palm trees, even after 8 years in California I still love going somewhere and seeing them.

BTW, if I could fit this chair in Karen's Porche I would be taking it home with me next month. I love chaise lounges, it's the perfect chair to read in and nap in!Key West has a laid back New Orleans feel to it. I loved it. I actually spent an hour walking down Duval St. (too bad it was morning so the bars were closed) I couldn't help but think of going there sometime with my girlfriends. I saw a flyer for a bar that had 2 for 1 margaritas and they also had a happy hour where you call a coin toss and if you're correct your drink it free. Lots of drag queen bars too that I would have loved to check out and drink stands! Gotta love those. I almost forgot to mention there is a Coach store in walking distance to Karen's place! I didn't walk in because I didn't want to have a heart attack, LOL. Now that I'm more aware of where everything is in FL I can properly plan for the future and Jenna, we know I can make the drive!
