Tour Diaries: After the Party is Over — Heading Home

After the big ride, some caught early flights, and some had to pack their bikes for later flights. We joined Bill and Karen on the boardwalk for a last Atlantic Ocean sunrise and breakfast.

Sunrise, Hollywood, FL, 15 November 2011

Last-minute contacts with friends and family before we went our separate ways:

Then, at last, the party is over, time to clean up and go home.

City power-washers start in front of the only cafe open on the boardwalk. We waited with hands over coffee cups while our server held our orders in the kitchen.

After breakfast, we found we had an appointment to tour the Air Force museum and launch facilities at Cape Canaveral, so we zoomed up the turnpike to visit our niece and her husband, an Air Force Officer at the Cape.

The start of the trip home -- visiting relatives on the way.
