It was Spring Break.
I had spent the day at the speedway and Daytona USA.
Traffic was creeping if you were driving East.

SEVERAL HUNDRED people were having the "worst luck" of which you speak as far as driving
East to get to the beaches. Every road going East was blocked by police of some sort and
every car was being turned back from going to the beaches. They were directed either
North or South at that point. Traffic going North and South was creeping along.

I turned around and headed West to the Interstate then drove North to St Augustine.
EVERY motel in St Augustine had the No Vacancy sign out. I ate dinner in St Augustine
then drove back to Tampa.

I don't see that as attention, I see that as an overflow crowd in Daytona at the beach during Spring Break.-Bob
