If you need a little background on me any my wife please visit my Pre Trip Report HERE.
So with no more delay here it goes.....
We had counted down from 344 days for our arrival day. Finally it was here and all was set. So we hit the road around 8am EST and headed I-75 Sound Bound!!
Not too eventful during our trip. However I must point out while needing to fuel up before leaving Georgia we decided to visit what we felt was a pretty good deal on fuel. $3.69 per gallon.
After I swiped my card and started fueling I noticed the price was a lot different from what was on the sign. I told my wife. Wow this gas is $3.74 a gallon. Confused I kept pumping and started looking around. Then my eyes were finally able to focus on the VERY tiny notice on the right side of the HUGE Citgo sign. Notice picture zoomed in below...
Needless to say when you first get into Valdosta, GA and see a Citgo gas station, just drive a few mile further down and you will find plenty of gas stations with the same pricing and no need to pay with cash or a special gas card. Stay away from Citgo!!
Anyway nothing was going to get me upset so off we go with a tank full of gas and before we knew it....
The Florida State line and Ron Jon Surf shop signs!!! Ahead of schedule and making great time!
Of course my first stop when entering Florida is...
Thats right!! The I-75 Florida Welcome Center!!
Nothing like finally being back in Florida! This is by far my most favorite State Welcome Center!
Pat was kind enough to offer me a free cup of Orange Juice and Grapefruit Juice.
After that its always fun browsing the brochures.
So we are back on our way and once we get on the Florida Turnpike the signs point the way!
But before you can get there you have to pay the toll!!
And once you go through a lengthy countdown and make all your ADR's and travel all that way...
You arrive here........
