There’s a lot of driving ahead, and we WILL be traveling with two Weimaraners.So why am I getting so excited?
This is the road we’ll be on Wednesday morning.
It’s taken a lot of online searching and a few phone calls, but our plans are laid. We’re leaving on Friday morning and we hope to pull into the Coral Sands on Wednesday evening, just in time for cocktail hour by the pool.

Can I catch a ride in the trunk?
The Element doesn't have a trunk.
We can put an extra bed in the back, a seat on the roof or we can hitch up a pop-up trailer.
We will accommodate your every wish.
