My son and I started making plans to travel to Florida a couple of months ago. I had a conference in Orlando and we planned to spend a few days in Key West “on the way” home. The big decision was, do we fly or drive.
Flying would be quicker, but there are many limitations. We must consider the two hour trip to the airport, arriving early to go through security, having to rent a car to get around in Florida, and of course the cost. A major problem with flying is the luggage limitations. I like to travel well equipped for any photographic opportunities that may arise.
So, we drove. The trip through the edge of Ohio, all of West Virginia, and most of South Carolina was rainy. About a third of my windshield wiper tore loose making it difficult to see unless I sat up very straight. No big deal, it was probably good for my posture. We watched and watched for a store that may have wiper blades. No luck.
Within five feet of the Florida state line the rain quit and the sun was shining. I guess that’s why it’s called the “Sunshine State.” I’ve not bothered to try to find a wiper blade since we arrived at Downtown Disney. I can’t imagine that wiper blades are a popular item at the Disney Store, or even Lego Land.
It doesn’t matter; we only need the wipers when it’s raining.
