SEE UPDATE BELOW IN NEW POST IN THIS THREAD!
In memory of our beloved fellow FL Kat Packer who has passed, Jim Warner, I offer you a wonderful weekend in May. The event will be called the "Jim Warner Sunrise to Sunset Cruise".Jim and I had talked many times of putting together an event like this but we could never finish the job. Well it is now finished and ready thanks to a lot of work by Bob and Mo Swearingen with the west coast leg of the cruise.
I hope all that can join us, do. You will not be disappointed I'm sure. Please look to the Event Discussion page for further details. Please book your rooms at the Spring Hill Quality Inn soon. Daytona Beach bookings will be available soon after the end of the race (Daytona 500) when we can get with the hotel.
Due to the overwhelming demand for quality events in FL, we have decided on this weekend Cruise to start the year off.
The short of it is this: We will meet in Daytona Beach on Friday night, stay over and watch the sunrise. Later that morning after checking out of our hotel, we will start our cruise over to the west coast of FL, taking as many of the less traveled smaller roads as possible.
We will stop in The Villages for lunch and gas, then continue to the west coast, stopping to see the manatee show in and around Homosassa Springs.
We will then travel south to Spring Hill, home of Weeki Watchee Springs and the attraction. Back to the hotel and dinner and after dinner a cruise to see the sunset. Back to the hotel for a night of socializing, etc.
If interested, we have a group rate for Weeki Watchee Springs attraction for Sunday for those wanting to do that after breakfast.
All in all this is going to be an event to remember for FL. Make your plans now and don't miss this inaugural event May 14-16, 2010
