Man, jealous of the adventure...thanks for taking the time to post it.   4.gif

I've also been porked by hotels.com a couple times...now I just use them for the list of hotels in the area and then I book direct.  Never again!

Yeah my last time using them.

I have some other trips coming up, sick of working all the time.  We are going to do a "Sunrise - Sunset"  trip soon.  We will go to the beach here in Jensen Beach (Atlantic Coast) catch a sunrise, then drive over to St. Petersburg beach and catch the Sunset on the same day on the Gulf of Mexico, then spend the evening in St. Pete and drive home the next day.  Not too many places you can do that.


We have a Keys trip in the works and we are also toying with a quick weekend trip somewhere in Florida, it is going to be an include the dog trip. Gonna try traveling with the pup for 1 night somewhere. She may even go on the Sunrise Sunset trip.

We do the sunrise/sunset thing here...catch the sunrise on the eastern border of NH in Rochester, opioid capital of the northeast...and then drive to the western side of VT for the sunset.  Someplace like Rupert where the average yearly household income is $37.50.  Very scenic.  ;D

St. Pete has like 6 Breweries all within walking distance from one another, additionally you can park as a hotel or Air B&B and walk all over St. Pete, which is what we plan.

I am about to go look for a house to rent. Just got back online to check some drafting then I am off to plan this Sunrise Sunset trip.

Coco Mats came in over the weekend.

Out with the poorly chosen tan mats..



In the the Calico Cocomats.

[MiniDave]

Wow, I didn't even know they still sold cocomats!

[Jims5543]

Kept seeing them in cars for sale on BAT, so I looked them up and bookmarked them. Finally got around to ordering a pair.

[BruceK]

They look sweet! 

[Jims5543]

Thanks!! We love them!! Mrs5543 commented on a BAT auction car (IIRC a 2002) that had them and said she loved them. I purchased them for the E30 as a surprise since technically it is her car.

Once the 15 y/o is out of HS we will get rid of or relegate the i3 for work duties and the E30 will be a DD with the FJ as a backup like the old days.

We are embarking on our Sunrise / Sunset tour Saturday, 200 miles each way, so a 400+ Mile road trip. Except this time with the dog in tow, we read St. Petersburg is a very dog friendly city, the Hotel is we checked.

So this will be an interesting weekend.

We have to be back in town at 2PM Sunday for a family gathering ay my BIL's house, the one that does drafting for me.

[Jims5543]

I had no idea they offered mats for Minis, very cool!!

Thinking of getting another set for the E21 to dress it up.

[jeff10049]

Yes, they even had the pattern for the floor starter button.
