Asterisks. First, I got only as far as Islamorada going southbound. Secondly, it was virtual. I’m listening to my doctors and exercising more. Today I took a 45-minute ride on a recumbent bike at the gym. Now, they have these programs you can spend a whole heck of a lot of money on that give you “virtual” bicycle rides. And you can also take your phone or tablet, go to You Tube, and find a dash-cam drive that you like for nothing. So I found a great 2 1/2-hour drive along the Overseas Highway and played it while I biked. Yes, they have them for treadmills, too. The bike “ride” proved to me that the “civilian” orthopedist was wrong about my knees. If she had been correct I couldn’t have made it 45 seconds, let alone 45 minutes. I guess I’ll pick up the video where I left off today when I go next time. It’ll keep me interested until I can get back there. Here’s the video I used for my “virtual bike ride” today:

By one and put one in the home. Those always to much money for me. Sounds fun though

That does sound like a good way to pass the time as you pedal along. I don't think my knees would be able to do that cycling

All the stories you could tell now after your visit. 45-minutes is a good ride.

When I read the title I stopped breathing! I thought you had actually gone down there...and without me! Hubs and I watched one of those dash cam drives down to Key West. We saw a lot that we recognized along the way. Good job on the exercising!
