I stayed in Gainesville last night with Doug; it was nice to get a decent visit in with him before I headed out this morning. The trip from Gainesville to Fort Walton Beach wasn’t too bad, only 5 hours, and that was driving in really bad weather. I also got a migraine headache right when I hit Tallahassee (imagine that) and had to pull over and sleep for an hour till it went away. Luckily I had pain killers and caught it early or it might have ruined the trip all together. So the whole trip from Fort Myers to Fort Walton Beach takes about 8 1/2-9 hours. Not too bad.
When I got here it was pouring cats and dogs and all the roads on the island where I’m staying were flooded with 3-6″ of water, so I had to drive extremely slow. I got to the condo, found the real estate office where I thought I was to pick up my keys, but when I got inside the lady had no clue who I was and told me I needed to go to some other real estate office that was a good 15 min drive away. So after getting soaked running in and out of this office (my umbrella was useless in the driving rain) I slowly forded the river back to the mainland and got my keys.
So I’m here. Not a great start, but it can only improve from here. I’m headed out to meet the guys from work in an hour, so until then I can work on my new business… which I will post later.
