What were you on the turnpike? I was thinking he was comming down on RT1 from West Palm. From the turnpike yeah, it's faster for sure.
Always do the turnpike. Rt 1 would take forever.
LOL - YeahI agree. I didn't know which way he was planning on going and I just figured that he was going down Rt1 the whole way. That's whyI said light to light and about a 4 hour trip.

We have a place in Marathon.....just off Sombrero Beach drive. I usually just fly right into Marathon and rent a cage and drive to the house, but I am planning in either a HOG "Fly & Ride" trip or taking my SG down from NJ inlate March or early April. I dont know how good the guys work is, but there is a Tattoo joint on the northbound side of the road right when you get into Key West....I am going to get some new ink as soon as I get there. You can also get some good deals on Rolex watches, or emerald jewelry.
