I know I didn't keep my blog up to date in NYC but hopefully I will have a little more time in Florida.
SO, our new adventure has found us in Melbourne, FL. Most of you will ask yourself where the heck is Melbourne? It is about 30 minutes south of Cocoa Beach and 3 hours north of Miami. Population is appx 80,000. Big change from NYC!! We arrived here on Saturday March 12th, after a fun 3 day drive! We actually made the best of it. This first night we stopped in Biloxi, MS, and at the time thought it would be fun to hit the casinos. We were wrong....damn casino took our money AGAIN!! The next night we had booked a hotel in Jacksonville, Fl. It was suppose to take us 7 1/2 hours, however, we decided to check out the SPRING BREAK scene in Panama City. The people watching and sightseeing extended our drive to 11 hours!! That was by far our longest day, but we had a blast watching all the dumb college kids.....wishing we could still hang. On Saturday we woke up early and headed down A1A (BEACH FRONT AVENUE) to Daytona Beach. It was the 70th annual BIKE WEEK, so of course we had to stop and walk down the main strip. It was almost mid afternoon and we could see the crowds were begining to get rowdy, so we decided to head to our final destination....MELBOURNE!

Our apartment is HUGE!! Well....comparing it to NYC. 350 sq feet to 1100 sq feet. One room studio to two bedroom two bath apartment with washer and dryer, dishwasher, AND ice maker!!! Its crazy how we missed the little things. However, it does make you appreciate them a lot more.
