Tomorrow morning I will be flying down to Fort Myers to start my adventure, and I am a little nervous and a lot excited. I'm spending the night with my brother Joe and his wife Gina, who will be driving me to Metro tomorrow morning to catch my flight. Christa drove me downstate today with my bike (packed in a cardboard box) and minimal provisions. I am checking it in as luggage, so once I arrive in Fort Myers I'll unpack it, hop aboard and cruise down to Marco Island (about a 50 mile trip) to spend the night at our condo. Then on Friday I'll start heading north.

Charlie,
I am a colleague of your brother Joe. I work at Reliance with him. I am also a long distance cyclist with a number of century rides under my belt.
My best wishes on your adventure! I am totally jealous. It’s going to be a wonderful experience. Enjoy and be safe. I will be checking in to your blog to follow your progress.
Please send my love to Joe and Gina.
Best regards,
Barry Schoenbart
I think you might make better time if you started your trip north instead of south but maybe that's just your warm up ride.
Have a great trip brother! I'll be checking in with you here and there - see you in Ohio!

Charlie-
What an adventure! Thanks for letting us all enjoy it with you!
It is great to see how many good people you are meeting along the way, but then again they are meeting a wonderful person too.
Take care,
Khara
