UPDATE: Despite numerous obstacles, wife and I did take a trip. Started out heading to Key West with a buddy of mine riding his '10 FLHTX (nice scoot!!),then heard about an outbreak of Dengay fever in Key West so....decided to head north to the Outer Banks of North Carolina..wife wanted to see the lighthouse on Cape Hatteras. Anyway, north we headed through the Ocala forest to St. August where we stopped for lunch. topped in St. Augustine. Ended the first day in Charleston, SC. Visited Charleston (checked out a reproduction of the Confederate Submarine (yes, submarine) Hunley). Ended that day in Havelock, NC from there it was a ferry ride to the Outer Banks. If you've never been there, it was a great time. Weather was great on the way up but on the way back got rained on quite a bit. Pictures are attached.

More photos:
the first is of the wife and I in Charleston, SC. Then you have a photo of Roanoka Island, NC. This is the same Roanoke of the "missing colonists" fame. Finally, a photo of the reason for the trip, the lighthouse and Cape Hatteras. You know, the wife didn't even go up into the lighthouse, she just took that picture, turned around and told me, "OK, let's go". hehe. Gotta love her!
