So, I decided to take the plunge and move to Key west with my friend tim. Everything in Greenville was going fine and I really love it there, but I felt like I needed a change of pace for a bit. so I sold or gave away everything I had and packed the Jeep for the Keys! Melissa bought a plane ticket so that she could ride down with me.
Thursday, sept 27th I loaded the Jeep up and went to my last Hash in the upstate. I got named HearschBrown Beatdown and had a great time. We partied for a while and then went home to the apartment for the last time. Friday morning, I went to work and then had lunch with Chris. We said goodbye and Melissa and I took off for the Nantahala for the weekend. This was the first weekend of scheduled releases on the Upper and I was able to get a lap in Saturday and sunday!! It was great and I had a blast both days!! The birthday/going away party saturday night was awesome and I loved seeing all of my friends!
Monday morning, Melissa and I slept in and got a late start. All was well anyways and we had a nice ride to Hudson, FL. We got a cheap room and had breakfast with my grandparents. We hung out with them for about 3hrs. We then started our drive down to Key west. It went smoothly the rest of the day and we got to do all of the bridges in the day light! We arrived and went to hear tim finish his show at Captain Tony's. The new life began then!!
Melissa and I spent the next three days being tourists. We rented mopeds and walked a lot. we ate at a bunch of different resturants. We slept in and had a blast. I hated putting her on the plane on Friday! It was very hard to walk away at the security gate! I miss her a lot.
Saturday I just explored the island a little more and hung out with Tim. Sunday Tim, Elicia, and I went to the Dry Tortugas and had an amazing day!! I snorkeled and did some diving. Saw a ton of fish and spent the evening at a Nick Norman band concert. It was a great way to end my vacation.
Monday I started job hunting and got a few leads. Tuesday was better and by the end of the day I had at least one job lined up! Now sitting here on Saturday, I work as a doorman at Hog's Breath and Irish Kevin's. I am also hoping to be doing some bar-backing at Willie T's one or two nights a week. Willie T's is still up in the air though! Today I got up at 11am and went to the pool and laid out with a friend till 1pm and then came home for brunch. I am now about to get ready for work tonight!
Life is good in the islands!!
