After looking at Mapquest it would appear Hibiscus Ave. and El Mar Dr. are in Lauderdale-by-the-Sea .... is that the place ?
Tampa road trip, 8/19 -8/20, Boynton/Ft Lauderdale

As soon as Scott and John post if that plan works for them, we can then figure how long it will take to drive from GCD's to Hibiscus and give you a meet time.
To be safe, I'd bring two tanks for the shore diving.
And yes, the particular area we will be diving is considered Lauderdale-by-the-Sea.

I would like to leave early, but I need to talk to the other two, the earlier the better I think.

I can leave anytime after 05:30 .... drive time from Trinity to Lauderdale is 4 1/2 to 5 hours according to Mapquest. So, theoretically, I could be there by 12 noon including stopping to pick up a tank or 2.

It will be 4 1/2hrs from my house.
Let's leave from your place 'bout 8.
Shoot me the link to that hotel again and when pop back up here I will book the room.

OK .... how about we meet at Hibiscus Beach at 1 pm (8am depart GCD's and 4 1/2 hour drive with 1/2 hour buffer). I will get my brunch/lunch on the way to picking up tanks in Boynton Beach. We can then check in at hotel after beach dives and go for dinner later. I think check-in is 3pm or later.

Deal. Will check with Marvel, see if she can get some time to hang out. Perhaps in the evening, as I know she works. So Bruce, what you said but back it up an hour.
BT - go ahead and grab a room for yourself. GCD/Scott5644 I've sent a text to Marvel to c which hotel it is that she always recommends. As soon as I get that information and compare hotels, I will let you know which one I am going to book for us.
Joystershell is going to be meeting us for lunch after the boat dives with Kev, perhaps some others as well.
If it is all right by you guys, we usually do a little buffet near Two Georges Marina. Chinese buffet with sushi - good price and good food :multi:
