Starting on Monday I am heading to Naples, FL to live permanently. I will post impressions along the way as I take 3 days to make the trek...

 

Very Nice! had enough of these NE winters i guess. I love Naples. Are you retiring or job change?

 

naples991: safe travels! Keep us posted along the way! It's been hot and rainy already down here. Drop me a line when you get settled in...

 

Considering doing the same! Riverstone?

 

Started the trip will post pics tonight.

My wife retired but not me quite yet 😛

Looks like good weather all the way with ETA in Naples expected to be Wenesday.

 

congrats, been thinking about doing the same thing, but was looking into the Venice area. BTW have you thought about adding the third radiator now that you will be in Florida?

 

^^^^porsche42: The 3rd radiator will not be necessary as long as he is not going to turn into a track monster and go to Sebring and Homestead every weekend!

FYI: Mine stays cool just fine with the factory 2 radiators.

Venice area is very nice as well! Get you out of those cold miserable winters!

Take care!

 

Can't beat Naples; bought my vac home in 2011 and wife stays there all winter. Not close to retirement but no doubt that's where I'll retire. Best wishes.

 

^^^Robsc2s: you need to hit me up when you are in town!

 

Be very careful in North and South Carolina.

They seem to be in dire need of additional traffic enforcement revenue, and your rights of appeal are nil.

 

Welcome to Florida, Naples is where the rich is :-). You'll be using the 911 more often down here.

 

I am close to Riverstone - we are in the Quarry.

 

Ok so I made it here to Naples. Summary is wanted to drive the 911 another 1,000 Florida miles after I got here

I make several posts now with pics starting at the beginning. More on the car later...

 

Started out on Monday from Hopkinton, MA. We actually closed on our house today. But the new owners moved in on Sunday. That was a weird experience after building and living in our house for 24 years...(pics)

I actually started out about 7 AM and then headed to Springfield, MA where the 3M shield installer installed a new film on the bumper (pic). I complained to them about bugs etching the clear off the original and they said the 3M just came out with a new film that was even more durable. We will see. I will wash the car in the morning to see how the bugs come off from the trip.

 

I attached the map for the route of the first day. I am so glad I avoided most of NJ, NY, Maryland, and DC. I left Springfield MA just before 12 and got to VA around 7:30. All in all a good day without any major traffic except a bit in Harrisburg.
