Great commentary Dave! Gotta watch those seniors, they learn several things while they are driving 35 in a 70 with the blinker on. Have yet to figure out what language is spoken at Micky D's :-)
Thanks!

well Dave you are settling in, you got your first taste of road rage and the experiance of working with our very own food service industry workers, now since you are in florida go to miami lose the wife for a couple of hours and go to south beach make sure to wear sunglasses and try not to pull an eye muscle staring at the Cuban girls.

Yeah, I was gonna say. We get the same reception at most eating establishments here in my town too....How peculiar.
Customer service as a whole in the US has taken a dive in the past few years.
It's great to hear that you're having a good time though, Dave.

If you come to Miami, be sure to bring your passport. You will be entering a foreign country. Think you have experienced culture shock, think again.

I think I'll give Miami a wide berth this time around.
How did the Keys hold off during Rita. Saw some on the news but not a lot.

Dave,
I am in Charlotte. How much RC Cola you want and where would you like to meet at?
I do not have many machines compared to some, but you are welcome to look at mine:
VMC27, VMC27A, Cav 51 Cav96, Westinghouse WD 20 Ideal 55 Generic and an Embossed Ideal 55 Coca Cola. Those I have here, VMC 139, CAV 64, WD22 in storage.

The Keys had some damage, but not that bad. Also the Keys bounce back quickly. And Miami is not really bad, just different.

Hi Jeff
Thanks very much for the offer. We are on vactation in Myrtle Beach and will be flying home from Charlotte. Next Tuesday. We have made arrangements to drop the car off at the airport 2 hrs before our flight leaves. Because the kids don't travel well we'll be leaving Myrtle Beach to travel direct to the airport.
If we exchange again in Myrtle Beach I'd love to take you up on your offer of looking at your machines. What you have would be considered a museum here in the UK.
Take Care
Dave

Wow 11 years ago. First trip to the US with the kids. Here we are, seasoned travellers. Both of them teenagers and eight trips under our belts.
Somethings never change though. Still having trouble with your bacon and iced Tea. Oh and your driving. All this overtaking and undertaking is driving (literally) me mad. Everyone is texting too.
Still wouldn't choose to holiday anywhere else.
