A few weeks ago I made the comment to Diane that I was itching to jump in the plane and really GO somewhere. We've already done much of the obligatory family travel. The decision was Key West. I posted with some about the upcoming trip towards the end of this thread:

The info was helpful.
Prior to leaving, I practiced my IFR skills. I didn't think I was ready but Diane prodded me into scheduling an IPC. Passed. It was convenient to have it on this trip. I punched through an overcast at AVL and flew on top for about 1/3 of the journey. Smooth as glass.
We stopped in Lakeland for some gas (Cheap too! $5.03!!), bathroom and snack.
There was a thin line of showers sitting over Homestead.
The Keys were clear. Beautiful. I like the cloud reflections on the polished wing.
