We left Orlando around noon and headed south to West Palm Beach. We got to West Palm Beach around 4:30 and dropped off the golden. She has been a sweetheart on this whole trip. What a good dog! She was no trouble at all - she just didn't like getting out of the truck.
We ate at an Applebee's there at Royal Palm Beach, FL and I have a blog about the restaurant under We're Hungry! We had a really good experience at this restaurant.
We left Royal Palm Beach heading for Homestead. Our directions said to take the Florida Turnpike, but Chris thought Florida Turnpike = money; I-95 = free! So, we took I-95 down through Port St. Lucie, Ft. Lauderdale, and Miami. Traffic was awful - and that was even late evening. I would rather have spent the 20.00 and not had the traffic to deal with.
I-95 ends in South Miami and turns into US Hwy 1 - the Overseas Highway.....and that takes you all the way to the Florida Keys. We stopped in Homestead and got a room at the Homestead Inn on Homestead Air Reserve Base. Chris is retired military and we've found that most military bases have nice rooms at reasonable rates. We got there late, so all that was left was the small rooms on the third floor; but, hey, can't beat $32.00 for a room in south Florida!
We got settled in the room and took care of mapquest directions, got caught up on emails, and got some rest.
Tomorrow is the Florida Keys! Can't wait to blog about that!
