Thursday, June 17th – St. Simmons Island, GA



Hi Ya ALL!!!

We left PTW @ 7:30am and got to Kinston, NC by 10:30am for our first fuel stop. It was a beautiful morning and the C-17 that was doing touch and goes at Kinston got out of our way. We left Kinston @ 11:30am and headed to Brunswick, GA (via Myrtle Beach and Hilton Head). We arrived at Brunswick around 2:30pm. We got fuel and looked at the weather at the FBO. We decided to high tail it out of GA and head to FL.
One problem…as we were getting into the plane we could hear the thunder and the dark clouds rolling in. So we get back to the FBO before the rain lets loose and we check weather again. By 3pm we decided we could either wait until 6pm to see if the weather cleared or we could call it a day and look for a hotel. Again we looked that the weather and the storms were continuing through GA and they were starting to pop up in FL. We decided to stay.

We asked Suzie @ Golden Isles Aviation where we could stay. Well Suzie picked up the phone make our reservations using the Golden Isles Aviation discount and here we sit in a LUXURY hotel (The King & Price Resort) on the beach for a VERY reasonable price. For those of you who are my flying friends stop @ Brunswick (McKinnon – SSI) and say hi to Suzie.

We had a great dinner overlooking the beach and now it is time to relax!!

Take off tomorrow is 8am and we should be in FL by no later than noon. Enjoy some of the pictures…
