Talking 24+ hrs in the GX: Pics and stories

This past week I drove down to the Florida Keys from New Jersey. I have to say that it was a pleasure in comparison to the last time I did it in a non-Lexus. The trip was great and the Nav saved me MANY times. I had no problems with the car; this just proved what a well-made automobile we have. I give a big to Lexus for their work. The ride was smooth the whole way and even at higher speeds (Never over the speed limit ) it was a solid ride. The seats were superbly comfortable and it was time well spent.

However, when I got down the car was loaded with bugs (see pic 1 for proof and that was only by Georgia!) as you can imagine. I stopped at a local car wash (I missed the fancy ones up by me, anybody want to open up a nice car wash in the keys?) that got some of the bugs off. Then I went searching for picture ops. It turned out the nicest picture was at a place I had dinner the night before's parking lot. I also tried the best I could to get one like they have with the RX on some bridge there but wasn't so successful ( I didn't have a helicopter). Anyway, here are a few I took. They are huge and great for desktop backgrounds.

Here is one of the pics. Use the other links below for more (didn't want to completely kill u guys on the downloads)

ENJOY!


(Cheeca is the name of the resort I was at)

BY THE WAY: I HIGHLY recommend the Cheeca Resort I stayed at. It was TOP NOTCH!!!!!
New renovated rooms were SWEET! (42 inch plasmas in each room!)
AND the best restaurant in the keys is in the lobby!( really the best 3; there are 3 restaurant choices.

I lived in Key West for a year back in 1970-71 I was in the USMC at the time. I bet it looks different 34 years later. Guess I should of bought that old two story Counch house with the wrap around porch and rented it out for the last 34 years :-)
