<\/a>We gave ourselves 4 days to get to Florida for our SURF EXPO ART EXHBIIT<\/a>, but powered on day 2 and made it to Destin, Florida (the panhandle) on Day 3.<\/p>\n So we were able to relax for a day and enjoy the Emerald Coast – sugar white sand, warm waters, oh, and a tropical storm overhead!<\/p>\n Almost ran out of gas somewhere in Louisiana – we were sweating it and freaking out that we’d be stuck in the middle of no-where on the side of the road. \u00a0Then, there was a rinky dink little sign that said “Bob’s Gas 1-1\/2 miles” – we made it on FUMES. \u00a0When we filled up the 25 gallon tank, it took 24.88 gallons – now that’s cutting it close!<\/p>\n This morning, we’ll paddleboard before leaving for Orlando – another 6-1\/2 hour drive. \u00a0There are little waves here, and the water’s crystal clear and warm.<\/p>\n Here are photos of the drive East:<\/p>\n
