From My 2006 Travel Notes - 1 of x

Log Date: 17 May, 2006
Log Time: 1930 H EDT
Carrier: Jekyll Island Club Hotel Shuttle
Ambient Temp: 80°F/27°C. Humid.
Destination: Jekyll Island Club Hotel, Jekyll Island, GA
ETA: 2030 H EDT
Present Ground Space: North Interstate 95, Jacksonville, FL


I am impressed. A Jekyll Island Club Hotel shuttle is waiting for its guests, while the passengers are disembarking the plane.

We are onboard the shuttle heading north on Interstate 95. It is about 60 miles from JAX to Jekyll Island. Tooling along on the expressway, both sides of the verdant freeway are pleasing the eyes. There is about three or four cars traveling north beside us. A hotel guest asks William, the driver, why the traffic is so sparse. On peak commute hours, William says, there would be about eight cars on the road. Funny man is he.

It's now 5:30 PM on the west coast. Here in Florida and the eastern seaboard, the evening tinct is already setting over the shores. It’s been a long day. Here we are, finally. Georgia's Jewel, Jekyll Island, awaits us.

So envy you!

Very excited when you mentioned Florida here, since Florida Disney World would be my last destination of "Disney". Friends there are asking me to come to Florida, so I've it in my travelling plan next year, since I've been Tokyo Disneyland for 6 times, but still found it's unforgottable and a dream world for the time being.
