We have arrived safe and sound in Florida! The trip took us just over 27 hours. We would have made it in 25 BUT we got snarled in traffic for a total of two hours. The first was immediatly after going through Atlanta, Georgia. That one was so bad we had to leave the I-75 and take and alternate route. The second was just outside Macon, Georgia where there was construction. Here we are going along, having been making record time (at least according to the times my parents gave us and from what I can remember from my drives to Florida) and thinking "We'll be in Florida by 8 on Friday night!". Wrong; the traffic jams saw to it that we weren't! The record times? Well, maybe not but we made it to Cincinatti in about 6 hours and 45 minutes (usually it takes 8) and we made it to Knoxville in just under 12 hours (it normally takes 12). Not overly significant but enough to make us think we had it made for us in our travelling times ;).

We arrived at Marty & Karen's (Jeremy's uncle and aunt) close to 11pm. It is now 2:08am and yes, both of us are still up! I will blog more tomorrow about our thoughts on the drive and such...for now I want to get to bed! ;) We had a very relaxing time once we arrived though; drinks on the lenai with Marty & Karen and a good conversation.

Oh yeah, and the weather is NICE!! ;)
