Trip to Ft. Myers Blog Options

[redbeme]

I incurred some unexpected expenses prior to my trip to Ft. Myers to see Vince in concert and decided to make some adjustments to accommodate for this.

I started my plans early, snagged a nice room at a Holiday Inn Express in he area in early Dec. I recall viewing several dates for this on Hotwire with my original intention being to stay more than day in this relaxing area of Fl. I did not find out until 12/24, when I was sent an email to review my trip. Found out that in error, I made this reservation for 12/24 instead of 1/24. The calendar that I was viewing must have reset as I explored my options and though, very unlike myself, did not check and verify info of my confirmation for this! OOOPS! Luckily, I decided to only stay one night and only lost one day of paying for a room, instead of two.

I had wanted to rent a car for this, but changed my mind the last week. Sad to say that someone rear-ended me that did not have insurance and I now have to litigate to get them to pay for damages. Though the car is perfectly drivable, I now refer to it as my Ghetto or redneck mobile. The right side fender is quite noticeably damaged as well as part of the side of the trunk which has gap in it. My car is white, had to find some heavy duty white tape to apply to the gap in the trunk to assure that water does not go into the trunk when it rains. Having a 12 year old Prisim, I only had PIP and liability insurance. LOl, quite challenging to maintain a sense of dignity driving around town like that.

I am so psyched about this concert, and am convinced that I can make a go of it in my ghettomobile. Thinking now that I was a bit too confident about this. Ever try to pretend that you are invisible for 150 miles? LOL!

(Going to break this blog down into a few short parts so that it is not such a long read) Will add to this a bit later today.
