196 miles via FL-80, I-75, FL 52 and local roads. This was a simple hop marred only by some slowdowns in Sarasota and Tampa. We were surprised that our destination was 28 miles from I-75. But there were few turns and the roads were good.
We stopped twice before we got on I-75 – first to get a bottle of Crown Royal as a housewarming gift, then a stop at my RV to get my laptop backup disk drive (because I neglected to do the backup on June 1) and my insulated drink cup. I also took the opportunity to wash the dishes that I had left in the sink. Or, to give credit where credit is due, Marlene washed the dishes.
Otherwise it was a simple, straight shot. We arrived exactly when we said we would: 6pm.
