BwanaND: I wanted to pass this along to you.
I was hired some years ago to move a high dollar luxury vehicle from Montana to St Augustine, Florida - all expenses paid, plus $2,000.00 cash!
I poo-poo'ed that much cash as I had never been down SE before and wanted to see it.
Well it took me 3 (three!) days to get to St Augustine, Florida and I was exhausted once I got there - and I love to drive!
The wealthy people that hired me put me up in one of their four homes for resting for two nights and as I recuperated they toured me of St. Augustine and their two huge yachts and homes (Ft. Meyers and somewhere else I forget).
I absolutely LOVED that town and the beaches and inland waterway - I even got to pet a Manatee in one of their yacht basins.
Great seafood there and pleasing weather when I was there in late March.
By the way I want to go back there and tour that area.
I also took only $1,000.00 cash for my troubles and they MADE me take 2 firearms they used to keep on their seagoing yachts for protection from Caribbean pirates.
One gun was an unfired S&W Model 66 2" pistol!
Anyway I loved that town and its history and I hope you enjoy your visit as much as I did.
Drive careful if you are driving.
Hold into the wind
