Myers, FL.  Says they need some Jupiter One in their life....naturally we shimmied down the fireman's pole and hopped in the Blaze.We got 2 days and 1,300 miles to drive so we decided to make a stop at Ice Man and Margo's along the way.  I can't remember AT ALL what we did when we got there other than looking at their wedding photos (which… (read more)

The jet lag would basically keep me up untill 6 in the morning, at which point I'd roll down to the restaurant for my complimentary English Breakfast. Scones, pudding, tea, etc. Then I'd sleep to the pounding sound of Lady Gaga on the "tele".It was really great to see a familiar type of food (£1.99 foot longs?), but I opted to spend my entire per diem on one meal. Aubergine peas in Thai curry?… (read more)

12th & Porter~~~~~~~~~~~We woke up started the drive to Nashville, TNThe students at the show were great and we mean no disrespect, but it's hard to drive around the deep south when the backs of trucks are constantly scolding you...At least we had plenty of good reading to divert our attention...I will say charming houses like this one make the drive more bearable...this is where Zac will eventually… (read more)

University of VA~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Back on the road and into the country.....we had to leave at about 3am for this show, so Zac took the first night shift while we all slept.
