Good afternoon Gator Talkers!
As many of you are aware, about 3 years ago Leslie and myself ditched mainland life to move to an island in the Caribbean (St. John, in the US Virgin Islands). Life down here is quite different, but we have adjusted and think we can handle it (don't you feel sorry for us?)
One thing we have missed terribly is the option to go take in a Gator football game at the Swamp (also the SEC Network can only be viewed in Standard Definition, but I suppose that's a first world problem). We are feeding our fix with a whirlwind visit back to our beloved Sunshine State next week, the highlights being the bookend Gator football games on 9/10 and 9/17, and my first ever live Gators soccer game on 9/18!
We will be driving to and from Melbourne the day of the Kentucky game, but plan on getting there early to secure a parking place on campus. No real plans other than walking around and taking it all in. For the North Texas state game we will also have a lot of time to kill before the game (since it's at night) and won't be in any hurry to head out since we'll be hanging around to watch the soccer team play Sunday evening.
We'd love to come by and say hi to any of you that we already know, or to meet any new faces that might be interested during tailgating time before any of the games.
Also, if you have any recommendations for cool places to stay (looking for B&B type accommodations as opposed to hotel rooms) on Saturday 9/17 and Sunday 9/18, please let me hear about them.
Thanks, and - Go Gators!
Steve Mckibben
