"Where'd I find this? Some kid back in town..... traded the van for it straight up. I can get 70 mpg on this hog."
Actually, I gave $75 to a college girl up around the University of North Texas. These usually go for around $170-$200 depending on location and shipping, so I couldn't pass it up. But I'm not quite sure how I'm getting it to Key West.

After we fold it all up, we're hoping it fits in a checked bag, but our bags are already getting full from the other stuff I plan on taking - I've got to stop accumulating boat stuff here in Texas. Although it looks a little awkward with the little wheels and tall handle bars, it really rides pretty much like anything else - it won't set any speed records, but it should do exactly what it is designed to. But I have no idea why somebody in North Texas needs a fold up bicycle (we were not expecting one to be 30 min from our current location) although I guess folded up is how I got it home. But the demand for them here is not as great as it is in Key West - a quick search generated more people looking to buy a fold-up bike than were selling them.
Also this week, the postman delivered our homework for the next month (how long does it take to read a book?) Its The Gentleman's Guide to Passages South and have heard about this book off and on for a few years now - I just wish I would have purchased it the first time it came into my consciousness. It's just packed full of everything you ever wanted to know about island-hopping from Florida to South America and seems to be the perfect guide for doing exactly what we are planning.  |

Time to get back to the guide and my lazy Sunday.
