14 May 2014 Savannah, GA We’re on Square number 16 only now I’m starting to doubt my math as I realize I’ve kind of lost track of which ones we’ve visited and which ones we haven’t, so I suppose it’s possible we’re only on Square 12 or maybe we’ve vaulted all the way up to …
13 May 2014 Savannah, GA I’m slightly distracted from the Savannah days of yore tale that our tour guide has begun as I’m thinking I made my own error of historical proportion today, one that might go down as The Great Flip-Flop Debacle. Was it really such a good idea to wear flip-flops on a …
12 May 2014 Jekyll Island to St. Simons Island to Savannah, GA Something is crawling across my bare foot in this brown water and so naturally, I scream. This prompts Gina to scream as well, drawing stares from the local sunbathers. Terri, who I have come to believe was a marine biologist in a previous …
11 May 2014 Jekyll Island, GA If Jekyll Island were to have nothing else going for it, at least it has a Dairy Queen. Add one more to the previously declining Blizzard count and while you’re doing that, you better add one more pound to the scale since I’m eating this after having done virtually …
10 May 2014 Jekyll Island, GA If Terri and I are to believe possible paramedic but definitely Talking-Nonstop-Guy from the elevator, there are more creatures that can kill us in the shallow waters of Jekyll Island than in all of Australia. First off, there is Katharine, the 14-foot Great White shark, who’s been trawling the …
09 May 2014 St. Augustine, FL to Jekyll Island, GA It’s technically our ninth state of the trip but it’s not really possible nor probably advisable to ask Terri to slam on the brakes and stop at that Georgia State Line sign we just passed at 75 mph so Gina and I can snap a …
08 May 2014 St. Augustine to DeLand and Daytona Beach, FL Gina has just thrown an interception so I’d say Russell Wilson has nothing to worry about. She’s out there frolicking in the sea with Terri, and by frolicking I mean playing football with young and possibly drunk college boys. It’s Daytona Beach baby, and …
07 May 2014 St. Augustine, FL Terri has arrived (!) which means the time has really begun to start checking things out. We decide that part of this activity will be done via the Old Town Trolley. Now this is a trolley that Gina decided we should ride yesterday, kicking off our 3-day trolley passes. …
06 May 2014 St. Augustine, FL It’s a bittersweet day. Time to say goodbye to Nicole and Paul and the Adventure Cycling van and trailer that have been our home and rolling suitcase for the past two months. To our good friends and amazing guides Nicole and Paul – “Thanks” just doesn’t quite cut it. …
05 May 2014 Palatka to St. Augustine, FL 54 miles (Total Miles = 2,937) I’ve got sand in my shoes and my bicycle chain and I couldn’t be happier. And not just because it’s not in my tent but because it’s sand from the beach at St. Augustine – our final destination on this 2 …
