I wish! Have a safe trip.
I really like your jalousie window in the back. Perfect for where you're headed!

Man im jealous. Where will you be staying?

In 2013 I did 17 hours straight to South Beach spent the night and went down the Key west.

How are you breaking up your trip?

I love DJ Clam Shack on duvall. Have you been?

We drive down to Daytona on Friday and crash at samba Steve Van B’s place for the night. Pick up my wife at the Fort Lauderdale airport on the way Saturday and arrive in the afternoon to Key West. Boyd’s campground is our place to stay.

Made it to Steve Van B’s. 👍😀🌴

Steve grabbed some jalousie windows for my euro bus project at a local meet and I strapped them to the rack.

Oh ya I remember seeing that spot when I was researching. It is pretty pricey but looks worth it. Especially the waterfront area.

I'm jealous for some jalousie action. Cool

Make sure you go to the Schooner Wharf bar when you are there. Best bar in the world!

And they have a bonus a.m. happy hour. Wake-n-bake! Cool Starts at 7a.m. Plan on a "booze snooze" around noon if you partake!

We didn't make it to KW this year. We love it. Party boat fishing, super laid back come-as-you-are attitude, and great weather.

I am jealous! Have fun!!!!

View from our room. Didn't have a van at this point.
