Road Trip Key West 2021

Well a slight change, Robert has decided he wants to go so the boy's from LA ride again.

Decided to move my May 1 hotel down to the HEI off of SR70.

Nope! Tent will be OK but be sure to bring your fire ant bait!

are you kidding.... i buy that stuff by the pound

We just booked a room for May 1st.

Country Inn & Suites by Radisson, Bradenton-Lakewood Ranch, FL
5610 Manor Hill Lane, Bradenton, Florida 34203

This area (I75 & SR 70) will be convenient for the trip south for those of you that want to move or make reservations down there. It is about 15 miles from our house.
There are also a lot of hotels one exit north (SR 64) that are often occupied by the racers going to Bradenton Motorsports Park (DeSoto drag strip). Some of these are OK - some not so much!

I used to live about 8 miles from it - now we are more like 20 miles.

just checked with the Silver Palm. they are filled up. is there a alternate hotel that anyone is staying....

There may be a cancellation (or two) down here. I know of one couple that isn't going to go unless they get their shots and another that is questionable.

Got me, John, and Big Dave booked at the HIE in Florida city for the 2nd
