Finally out on the road again. A little longer trip this time, and what a beautiful day to ride. When we departed this morning it was clear and warm, at least for the first half of the day. Purpose of this trip is to complete as many of the pictures of cities and counties for the ABC’s of Touring Program before we start on the longer trip next month. Trip today was mostly on Highway 1 North to Daytona. We stopped at the post office on Military Trail in Jupiter to get a picture of the post office sign, which reads 'United States'. It suffices for a country sign. We already did one bit Peggy missed the 'United States' part of the sign. Now I’m caught up with her on points. Stopped in Vero Beach for a picture of that city sign for the 'V' city and the got a picture of the sign for the Indian River County Tax Collector sign for a County 'I'. Then on to Daytona where we collected the 'V' county sign,Volusia County. That’s three more points for today, for a total of 37. Miles today: 186. Total miles: 120,166. By the time we got to Titusville, the sky turned cloudy and it got quite cool, but still a beautiful day to ride. We’re staying in the Days Inn Tropical Seas, in Daytona Beach Shores. It is the one we use for Biketoberfest. We were into the motel by 3:00PM looking for a nice peaceful even in Daytona. Sometimes everything doesn’t go right. I had reserved an Ocean View room, but wound up with a side view room. After a lengthy discussion with the Hotel Manager we went on to check out the 'side view' room. We found it smaller than the other rooms, they door was open and a crew was working on the balcony repairing the railing. A call from Peggy to the front desk again, with all the pounding and sawing going on in the background, netted us an 'Ocean View' room they should have given us the first time. Anyway we have the Manager’s e-mail address now and he will make sure that we get the room we ask for anytime we return. The wheel that makes the most noise always gets the most grease!!!!! Cost of the room was $53.55 + $6.69 tax.
