FL15 - Less than a month
It's less than a month now until we fly to Tampa to start the two week vacation.
I think every base has been covered bar none.
Hotels booked. I have checked the car hire repeatedly to see if any offers can beat what I currently have booked through National.
With the £ dropping against the $ on the currency markets it looks as though hire will have gone up a few pounds. In fact, everything not already paid for will have crept up a few dollars by the time we get there.
Hopefully, the car will be American and not another Japanese or Korean box that most of the rental companies are now putting in their groups online. We are supposedly getting a Ford Fusion as I couldn't find anyone that was doing Chevy or Dodge!
At least no one is admitting to it! I liked the look of the 2014 Charger or Impala.
The Florida Highway Patrol and State Police seemed to have Chargers, and I guess the bigger engines as they have twin pipes at the back!
In the end it looks like a visit to Muscle Car City (http://musclecarcity.net) in Punta Gorda to get a fill of what we used to call "Yank Tanks".
When we were kids there used to be a bloke that lived on St George's Hill on Weybridge (Some of the Beatles lived there too) who owned an early 60's Chevy Bel Air. Powder blue with white roof and huge fins/wings at the back!!!Sounded fantastic!
Anyway, 26 days to go!
