No we won’t be taking the “Land Can” but if nothing else crazy happens with the weather here in PA Retro Roadhusband and I are scheduled to fly to Tampa tomorrow morning for a week long stay in Florida! After this snowstorm (20″ of snow fell on the Hacienda and we’ve got to dig it out before we leave) I’m ready to exchange the shovel for a tropical drink, big time.
I’ve got a bunch of retro Florida and vintage vacation stops planned thanks to the help of these great folks:
Tiki Kaliki, hostess of The Hukilau – happening June 10-13 at the fabulous Mai Kai in Fort Lauderdale FL
ChrisPFLorida on Twitter, also host with the most of Tiki Lounge Talk!
Rick from the wonderfully informative Florida history blog Visual Ephemera!
Crossing my fingers our flight goes without a hitch, and I can still fit into some of my warm weather clothes after all of the storm related carbo loading I’ve done in the past 24 hours.
I’ll try to post some photos from the road, but in the meantime- if you’ve got a Retro Roadmap worthy place in your state you want to feature, send the info to me and I’ll post it!

I remember seeing the gigantic Thunderbird sign on the side of the tall hotel at a busy t-intersection. http://www.agilitynut.com/09/3/titbird.jpg It was stunning at night time as I recall seeing it when I was about 13 years old.
