Anyone else heading to Lakeland?


I tried to make it happen, but no such luck. We have a trip planned a
trip from 1H0 to KDTS to let my little one (almost 3) experience a
real beach (as opposed to the sandbox out back). I tried to work out
a side trip to Lakeland, but I couldn't make it work. At 120kts its
2.5 hours each way (unless I cut the corner, overwater, something not
in my personal risk tolerance). Which means an overnight there, plus
nap issues for my daughter, etc.

I started a conversation along the lines of, "well maybe I'll fly by
myself down there and you guys can stay here....." but you can imagine
how that went.

Until I got the map out, its hard to believe how big the state of FL
actually is.
