We were not impressed with our accommodations last night, and, for me at least, it wasn't good for sleep either. I don't really know why, but I hardly slept at all until about 5 a.m., and by that time we were ready to get started with our day. Breakfast was typical for this kind of cookie cutter hotel, but all Comfort Inns -- and related Choice Hotels -- are not equal. For example, the one in Canal park in Duluth is great in every respect, including breakfast. We didn't linger over our food and were on the road by about 8:00 a.m.

It was a pretty good day overall. I75-S was OK for much of the way but very crowded in some areas and around certain exits.Tampa was as hectic as usual but we went through fairly easily, with no incidents to impede passage. I drove a fair bit and didn't feel rattled, despite a number of crazy drivers who wove in and out of traffic, not making any more progress than the rest of us.
We got to the condo shortly after 3:00 p.m., and almost immediately chatted briefly with our friends from Wisconsin who are here every year when we are. We're in a different condo from our usual until late Thursday, when we'll move our things up a floor. The view is spectacular, as always, and we felt at home immediately.
After a little grocery shopping, we had a bite to eat and are now watching the closing ceremonies of the Winter Olympics. My pillow is still in the Traverse so I'll go down to get it before going to bed. I really need some sleep tonight!
