Having had no vacation this year, I am heading to our house in Florida with my long-suffering wife, taking advantage of the fact that the bulk of the golfing season at Burhill is behind us and we are now entering a fallow time.
We fly from London Gatwick to Tampa and normally take advantage of one of the many Par & Ride alternatives on offer. This year however, we are profitting from one of the great side benefits of owning a Tesla: they will allow you to park your car at their facilities for free (at both Heathrow and Gatwick) and not only provide transport to and from the terminal but will also do a courtesy check of the vehicle, keep in charged and, I am hoping, will also give it a clean... We shall see!
All worked well with the flight, despite a late get away as the south of the UK was blanketted in fog. It is a long flight to Tampa (over 9 hrs) and we were both glad when we eventually landed. I managed to while the hours away, both dozing and watching movies (
Inside Out and
Ant-Man being my fare of choice).
We sailed through the airport (Tampa is a great place to enter the US, with few international flights and very efficient immigration!) and picked up a hire car to make the 1 hr drive down to Sarasota. Great to arrive and immediately feel at home here!
