I’m so excited! I’m currently forcing my self to stay up late so I can sleep all day tomorrow for come 7pm I will be taking on the task of covering 1200 miles in one shot. Google tells me it will take 18 hours and 45 min to cover the distance from my home to the greater Orlando area. Where I will spend the next 10 days relaxing and exploring what Central florida has to offer. I’m calling this the Chromeball run 1200..
My navigator will be Sarah. My girlfriend whom I reconnected with after 7 years apart and her adorable schnauzer Toby! We have no plans but a long list of ideas and plan to just enjoy our time and see where the road takes us!
I spend the day prepping the Buffalo. Changed oil, washed and cleaned the interior. Shes ready to roll and I’m a happy man.
Of any one has any killer central florida Ideas feel free to drop em below. The main things I’d like to do is hit tampa and see the Dali museum and aquarium. Check out some manatees, maybe pick some oranges, do a day in daytona, Kennedy space center and go to a range to shoot something full auto!!
This is my first big vacation since like 2009! I’m so excited!!

If you do get too tired don't be afraid to pullover and take a nap.

Oh absolutely! I'll probably let Sarah take the last few hours after we stop for breakfast.

The circle B bar reserve in Lakeland is pretty nice. Lots of nature, including a lot of alligators. Maybe a bit more low key than what you're looking for.

Redlining the motor once in a while is usually a good way to keep me awake on long drives.

Would you be interested in seeing a Parsh 908, 917, 917/30 and a McLaren F1?

Unless you hit it during the night, 95s has awful traffic for the last 50 or so miles on t he south end of SC. May want to figure that in.
Dali Museum is really cool, and the ocean is pretty sweet on the gulf side. Space center can be pricey but is worth it (I live in Cocoa Beach and do some work there). Underrated automotive fun is the Don Garlits Museum in Ocala.
Lots of great nature as well. I’m sure you’ll have a great time.

If you can make time go check out Don Garlits Museum of Drag Racing in Ocala. Unbelievable collection of stuff there.
Arrivederci

For Manatees, this place is free, and there’s always lots, plus rays and sharks.

They like to hang out by the power plant’s cooling water discharge, since the water is clean and warm.
If you’re heading to the Dali museum, it’s across the Bay, so it’s not far off your path.
If you’re an International Harvester fan, this place is worth a stop:
and of course:
