Coming soon

Only 11 days to go and then it's time for me and my fellow adventurers to 'go over the big water'. The excitement is growing daily and the anticipation is bursting out of our WhatsApp chat.

But what is it all about? 

Well......about a year ago, Steffi and I came up with the idea of going on a road trip through Florida together (on 2 wheels, of course). It was a given that it should take place around mid-March, because if you're going to do that, the Daytona Beach Bike Week has to be a fixed part of it. Oh, and Key West of course. :-) 

From a fleeting idea, it gradually turned into a plan. Dates were checked, vacation times were coordinated, and by the end of April it was decided, 'We're doing it'.

So, during the summer, we started to look for flights, check hotels, put together the route, and of course, see where we could get bikes. 

At some point during the summer, Roger found out about it and quickly it was clear, he's joining us.

After everyone more or less had their preferred destinations (as I said, Daytona Beach and Key West were not negotiable :-)), the route was determined. In order to avoid the high prices for accommodation and meals during Spring Break, we decided to start our journey with the Bike Week (in 2013 I did a similar tour and visited the Bike Week at the end, which was more expensive).

So the route now looks like this:

12.03.2019 Zurich - Philadelphia - Orlando (by plane) - Daytona Beach - Clearwater, FL - Ft. Myers - Miami Beach - Key West - Miami (on 2 wheels) - Philadelphia - Zurich (by plane) 28.03.2019

The last accommodation was booked a week ago, all confirmations and vouchers have arrived and now it's time to be patient and wait for the 12th of March.
