First year trip to Florida January 29, 2013, 02:38:40 pm Yahoo Message Number: 136492I left the DC area the 25 of Jan with my brother and his six year old son. Snow was in the forecast so school let out early. Good and bad. Good because we were ahead of the I 95 traffic bubble. Bad because I don't like this stretch of road in the snow. To many of us see little snow to have good skills. Luck rode with us, road temps stayed high enough and the folks driving near me were all being careful. In two days we were in Coco Beach near my sister and mother. We thought we were on a great adventure. We knew we were on a great adventure. Then we met the two French women in the RV next to us. A great big 6x6 built by Scandia or some Euro truck firm. They've been on the road four years. Africa South America, western USA and now the south. Great people with great stories.

By the end of summer, one guy had almost pulled off a 3x.As for travel adventures, check out this surf trip from LA to Buenos Aires: http://www.surfline.com/surf-news/tripwire-the-american-pacific_90968/
