Just shy of Bowman, the Emperor, Donna and I split a candy bar in honor of his latest mileage achievement.
From Aiken, SC to Pooler, GA it is 136 miles as the Google flies, but we traveled 288. Along the way we visited an honest to God (pun intended) Abbey with real monks and stuff to look at 47 different nativity scenes in media that varied from rolled newspaper to stainless steel. We geocached in 3 different counties, finding 5 and DNFing one. We had Japanese for lunch, American for dinner and we are spending the night in a hotel that doesn’t have ice machines.
Tomorrow we cross into the other world where you can’t get sweet tea to drink, but you can get a paperweight made of a baby alligator head encased in lucite, the glorious Sunshine State, Florida.

“Hotels that don’t have ice machines” doesn’t sound legal to me.
We were staying at a Candlewood Suites which is an extended stay hotel. There is a 2/3 scale fridge in each room with it’s own ice maker. The helpful desk person explained that the ice is emptied out and the maker turned off when the room is cleaned. “Just turn on the switch and you’ll have ice in about 15 minutes,” she said. We turned the switch on at 5:30 and we startled out of a sound sleep at 11:00PM when the 8 pitifully small cubes dropped into the empty plastic bin.
When do you expect to arrive in PC? Tuesday? Looking forward to seeing you.
We are staying in Mt Dora Monday & Tuesday nights. We of course will be taking back roads down and geocaching along the way so our ETA in Palm City is midday Wednesday. We’ll call along the way to let you know whether it will be before or after lunch. See you soon.
