After spending my Friday night in a comfy Houston hotel room, I got a late-ish start on the road… beginning the 1,150 mile drive to my dad’s house in Naples, FL around 11am. The rest of the day was consumed by the Gulf Coast scenery passing by. Crossing state borders every so often provided a nice sense of progress that you miss when driving through a state like Texas.. where you start to wonder if you’ll ever make it out.

Before too long, night fell.. and I began to try to figure out where I would be spending the night. It was a matter of another night in a rest area, or toughing it out with several more hours left to go, but once i was within 200 miles I got a second (or third?) wind that carried me through to dad’s driveway.

I pulled in around 5am, climbed over the seat and passed out in the van.
