Good morning. Mary and I got up at 2:30 AM to catch the Uber at 3:30 AM. We had a breakfast sandwich that we split that was very filling.
We got last-minute 
packing done and the man from Uber showed up on time we drove down to terminal C. Terminal C is where TSA pre-was and it was supposed to open at four, but it
wasn’t open at 4 AM. 
We then went to terminal E and TSA pre-was open thank God because the
line was really long and this is 4 AM in the morning. Our flight‘s going to be leaving at 5:20 AM. Well, it’s
now 7:17 AM. We literally just landed on the tarmac and they’re going to
be pulling us to the gate right now. It was a pretty uneventful flight, but it was nice because they had
a bunch of empty seats so we are able to spread out which I love.They
even let us move up a couple seats near our baggage. The staff was really
nice on this plane. And we got a couple good views in the Sunrise as
well. Anyhow, we stopped at the airport to chill and hang out. We found a
good coffee place called Southern grounds. I checked on my Hertz rental thing and then I get a letter from Penn saying that I had pre-cancerous polyps four of them removed and there’s
still a big one to goanyway Time to enjoy my life and what’s left a bit, baby. Well, went to Jacksonville and went to a wonderful restaurant
called the beach diner. I believe that’s what it was called. I met my old sponsor Louis Lopez and
we sat outside. I had a really nice batch of pancakes
and Louis and Mary had parfaits which were very good. He gave us some recommendations of places we could go around here and
enjoy. It’s now 10:50 AM. I feel like I’ve had a half day already. We drove 
down route A1A to Southpoint Verda beachfront Park for a little break. It was very nice
so we’re on our way to Saint Augustine. It’s almost noon out. Will we stroll to through Saint Augustine
and we found a really nice coffee place called RELAMPAGO Coffee. We left Saint Augustine. We decided to go to Amelia Island. That is north
of the airport north of our hotel, which 
is next to the airport. Well that was a long slog drive went up I-95 and oh my God it was a long drive then GPS landed us in
a Middle of this residential community and the guy says yes that
I was happy. It’s the center of Amelia Island, which is a bunch of houses we had a good laugh
with the dude he says that delivery service is always drop off free food 
anyway we ended up going to Peter’s point which was a nice beachfront area. That was about eight minutes
away by car. We then went there took care of business walked
on the beach and then we headed to the hotel and boy that drive to the hotel was easy so we’re
at an airport hotel, which was a bit overpriced but it’s only one night. It’s 
now 6:18 PM we are in for the night. I pray to God to have something to eat here. It’s not ridiculously
expensive but then again we’re near the airport. What kind of screwed that 
way but oh well relax and then shower and eat. Well, it’s 8:04 PM. Mary has gone to sleep and I finish showering. I am way too hungry
to just crash. So I’m gonna finish up my blogging now and
see if Mary wakes up on her own calls me. The shower was very much needed. I feel a lot better, but I’m ready to stuff my face and
chow down I’ve had a 
really huge appetite today. The hotel is pretty nice, but the fact that they have laundry facilities that need coins, but they don’t have any coins to give you and that’s all they take is coins
not a credit card or anything like that
. It’s really kind of pathetic really I got kind of grouchy about that but I got over that pretty quickly. It was a pretty adventurous day. I must say the card
the car road nice we listen 
to Steely Dan, The Moody Blues, The Beatles and The Roches. That’s all I can remember right now. I shifted around
a couple of doctors appointments 
because there was one scheduled for March 31 and I won’t be back in Philly till late that night on
Monday night the 31st so I took care of that business so I’m going to
wait around a little bit but I might get some little petty sacks. They
want to charge eight dollars for two things of granola and there’s some sides I
can get for eight dollars so I might do that instead. I got some cool
view of the water fountain. The one thing nice about this place you really can’t tell
there’s an airport nearby except if you walk around and go
around the other side and see all the signs for the airport, but I don’t hear any airplanes
flying across and I haven’t all evening since I’ve been here. Mary
woke up around 8:45 PM and took a shower to clean yourself off. We’re gonna
go downstairs and she’s gonna decide what deed I think I’m just
going to get pasta because I’m still hungry. well, Mary
woke up and felt a lot better and we went to the front desk. Talked about vitamin water and then we went to to the restaurant that was
inside the hotel and both of us order the same pasta dish without chicken or beef. Well, that was absolutely delicious. It was so filling it. Mary couldn’t finish hers and I
couldn’t
finish Mary’s portion. Mary and I were like punching in. We’re having fun and laughing and the staff was really nice to us. We were
talking about how they have laundry facilities, 
but they can’t give you changed to be able to use the facilities. Another complaint was at the toilet kept running because the chain get stung underneath
the flapper and the toilet runs. Other than that it’s
pretty nice looking hotel considering it’s right next to the airport.
We then crash close to midnight. Overall, a really fun exciting different kind of day. We really had a good time. We travel well together, which is really cool!
