Orlando to Longboat Key - Saturday 23

After breakfast we packed up and headed for the Interstate 4 and eventually Longboat Key.

125 miles it took us about 2hrs 15mins. Great driving weather. At least here we've got the radio to listen to as in Utah there were NO radio stations broadcasting, other than one Country station! We also commented on the fact that we were passing more cars in 800yds than we passed in 10 miles in Utah! Arrived at the cottage at about 3.30pm.

Lovely little thing about 200yds from beach access. Smaller than Pineapple Cottage, it has a modern kitchen, lovely bedroom and comfy chair & setee to read and watch TV in the evening.


Outside there is a big covered lanai & a pool and plunge pool. J finally got to unpack her cases fully! We visited a convenient Publix supermarket that is only about 1/2 mile away to stock up then walked to the beach for the sunset.





I'd bought some Westerns about Monument Valley for us to watch in the Mall at Millennia so we had a couple ogf glasses of wine while watching. We definitely went to loads of the places in The Searchers. Unreal!

I've uploaded photos to Flikr. Click on link then click slideshow toppish right. There are loads of Antelope Canyon, and still loads not uploaded. I could have spent another couple of hours there!!
