The trip back to FL from MA will be a fairly quick trip – about a week on the road. It is not completely planned and we have not booked the nights we plan to spend in a hotel, so there is some flex in the plan. But it will probably go something like this:
- One night in a hotel in Front Royal VA. We have been invited to spend the weekend with Jett’s sons and their families at Devin’s VRBO farmhouse in Luray VA, but the current tenants don’t leave until noon on Saturday. So we will get close on Friday and travel a short distance Saturday, to get a full day with them. This will be a LONG hop – about 9 hours and over 500 miles.
- Two nights at the farmhouse in Luray VA. I have seen photos and it looks wonderful. I am looking forward to seeing this property. And family, too. This will be a short hop, probably mostly on Skyline Drive in the Shenandoah National Park.
- Three nights with Marlene’s son and wife in Acworth GA. Another long hop.
- Two nights in or near Pensacola FL. The purpose of this visit is to experience the legendary Flora-Bama beach bar.
- Home. Another very long hop.
This plan has us traveling just over 2,000 miles in 5 (mostly very long) hops. The detour to Flora-Bama is a bit whimsical and might get cut.
