Monica and I arrived in Florida on Saturday afternoon. After we picked up a rental car (number 1 of 2), we started on our way to Bonnie and Ken’s place in Naples. On the way, I thought “Hey! We’re in the South! Why don’t we call Dave & Jess! They’re in Alabama. Maybe we can meet up with them.” After speaking with Dave a little while later, I learned that they’re actually 12 hours away. WTF? When did the South get so big?

To me, Florida, the Carolinas, Alabama, Georgia, and Texas (and probably a few more states) are all like bunched up and you can get to any of them in a matter of two hours tops. Of course, this isn’t true. I come from New York where everything is a lot closer together…everything that matters anyway. So we didn’t get to see Dave & Jess during this trip. We at least tried though. That counts for something, right?
