Heading to Florida

Good Morning!
I am headed to my second home.  By second home I am referring to southern Florida. Ronnie and I arrived in Murfreesboro, TN early this morning.  We went to the consignee to see if they would accept our load early.  Since the load wasn't scheduled to be delivered until 11:00 on Thursday,  they were a bit hesitant.  They agreed to try to work us in if the opportunity presented itself.  We were lucky and they unloaded us at 1:00 in the afternoon.  We then accepted a load that we picked up in Red Boiling Springs, TN.  Yes, the location of the shipper was every bit as rural and out in the boondocks as the towns name might suggest!   Lots and lots of hilly, winding country roads.  This load is scheduled to be  delivered to a Sam's club on Sunrise Blvd in Sunrise, FL.  This will be the first time in over 25 years that I have been back to the area.  Once we deliver this load, we already have another load scheduled to be picked up in Miami Lakes, FL and then delivered to Atlanta. The goal is to get Ronnie back home to North Carolina by Saturday night so he can go to a family reunion on Sunday.
I have 184 hours driving now. Hopefully we can get a load out west early next week. So far Topka, KS is as far west as I have been.  I would like to get out west with a trainer if at all possible.
I would like to do some sightseeing / reminiscing in Florida, but I am affraid we will be limited as to where we can go due to the size of our truck.  I will try to post some relative pictures if at all possible.
OK, time for some sleep.... nite all......
