| I have been wanting to check out Destination Daytona's Block Party for a while. Talking to Jerry I found out that he too wanted to check it out. So we made reservations and off we went. Hurricane season has been busy, our last trip was cancelled because of hurricane Faye, and it looked like hurricane Hanna was going to cancel this trip. |
| This picture is in front of our room. The rooms were nice with refrigerator, microwave, and coffee maker. The price was also nice, $75.00 is not bad at all. There are quite a few stores there, we did not check it all out. We did go to the Harley store, and then JP cycles. |
| This picture is from the entrance of the Harley shop. At the right side of the building across the street is where the bike block party is held at. It is about 3:30 pm on Saturday. |
| Donna, on the bike which is suppose to be in some futurist movie. I can't remember the name of the bike. They had 3 of them there. |
| Upstairs at Harley. During Bike Week and Biketoberfest this place gets crowded. |
| Still up stairs at HD. They always have quite a few motorcycle here. I was not that interested in looking at all the bikes. Marcia and I just got 2 new Street Glides, so now it is just accessories and places to go. |
| Here we are walking past the area for the block party on our way to the Pig Stand for some great ribs. We enjoyed our meal and time together, then headed back to the Block party. They had a live band, and had quite a few bikes out there. |
| The Block party was pretty much as I expected. The price of the rooms as I said was good. Seeing all the bikes around was great, the food was good. I defiantly will be making other trips here . I think this place is great to plan a trip with friends, you have everything you need here, and see other people riding and visiting the area. There is plenty to do from riding the loop and A1A, also you have Iron Horse down the road. Plenty of possibility for little day trips, St. Augustine is just up the road which is a neat little ride on A1A, Outback Crab Shack isn't too far away, and 3 Bananas another neat ride. If you go to Out back Crab Shack you will want to travel Hwy 13 south from the restaurant for a neat ride. |
| When making the video there is only so much I can show. I thought you might like a look at their rooms. It's nice to be able to have a beer or two and not have to watch yourself heading back to your room. Plus meeting new friends who maybe on there own road trip with their own story. |
| Sunday morning time to leave. You wait all week finally its time for your trip, you thought it would never get here and now it is almost over with. I hate that, but it opens the door " where are we going next". We left Destination Daytona and gassed up had breakfast at the Waffle house. |
| We took our back roads and in minutes we were by the ocean, while riding a part of the Loop. Also anytime your that close to the Loop and the ocean, you have to ride it. I certainly wasn't ready to head back home. |
| Destination Daytona has about everything you need. We gassed up here at Love's before heading out for breakfast. Also this is a nice place to pick up snacks etc. while staying at the hotel. |

| From left to right Donna, Jerry, and Marcia. It sure was great getting together again. Had a great time. From here we back tracked and rode back to US 1 and took a back road that goes along I 95 to Hwy 40 and headed home. |
| This is our last stop to say good by. Here we are off of Hwy 326 and CR 200a in Ocala. It was great getting together once again with Jerry and Donna, and certainly hope they join us on more trips. From here we headed to Gainesville, Steve and Jill who couldn't make the trip were ready to ride, so Marcia and I headed to Cedar Key with them had a late lunch and took the long way home. Next time we head to Destination Daytona it will be for two nights, and I will have a ride planned, and we will have a lot of friends joining us, that's what it is about. One definite note, if you every get the chance to check out Jerry and Donna's show Ride Like A Pro do check it out. Marcia and I have their DVD, with our new bikes it time to practice again. Until next time Ride Safe.... JUST GET OUT AND RIDE Michel T. |
