Florida Spring Training Trip - Day 0

Another adventure begins - this time without the RV.  Judy's monthly medical treatments limit how long we can be on the road, so we decided to fly to Florida this year to watch Philadelphia Phillies Spring Training Baseball and do other vacation things.  The team played so poorly last year, we were able to get season spring training season tickets (in the shade no less), so we decided to get an early baseball fix in a great location in Clearwater.

The "getting ready" day was a busy one.  I had a Rotary meeting at noon and then we drove to Rocklin to have a nice birthday lunch/dinner with Karin and her kids.   After a late lunch, we got on the road about 4:00 pm and headed for San Francisco to the El Rancho Inn where we planned to spend the night before catching an early shuttle to the airport the next morning.  The traffic on the way down to SF, as expected, was horrible.  We finally arrived at the El Rancho about 7:00 pm and almost immediately went to bed.  The attraction of the El Rancho is that is about a 10 minute drive to the airport, you can park your car there while you are gone and their shuttle runs 24/7 to and from the airport.  No pictures today but we'll post some as soon as we can.
