Tomorrow morning we will be off on our way to Florida. The clothes have been packed since Saturday. Last night, we packed more including the food we’ll need to lunch, snacks, and breakfast. I did a test packing of the back hatch of the van to see where everything will fit. Thanks to my leet Tetris skills, everything should fit just fine without blocking our view or cramping the children.

The plan is to completely pack and ready the van tonight. We will leave early tomorrow morning and meet Mandy’s mother for breakfast. We should be able to get through Kentucky & Tennessee and have lunch once we enter Georgia, probably at their welcome station. We’ll drive through Georgia into Florida and stop for the night at a motel just before the Florida Turnpike. The next morning, we’ll have breakfast and get onto the turnpike for about 8 hours of driving before we reach Big Pine Key.
