Louisville! MATS Show Has Huge Attendance; Truckers Rule!
Aptravelnews-3/28/15-Bob last day at the MATS Show (Mid Atlantic Trucking Show) in Louisville, Ky. I flew in to help represent Click-It Hot group market their various size body and reusable hand warmers. Today is the last day and flying home tomorrow; miss my Barb and dog, Terry!
Seems truckers have been taking to having instantly warm hands and body parts, as they start their day bringing America its goods from around the USA and the world. Also,when we have any ailment, often heat or cold compresses can ease the pain, reduce the swelling, keep our back pains to a minimum, elbows, heads, etc. When a trucker wakes up in the morning or heads out from any of his stops, the first thing he touches is usually quite cold -his door handle. If he forgot his gloves or not, his hands are cold. With the small hand warmer model, all he has to do is click-it hot and he has about a half hour hand warmer, starting at 130 degrees in less than 5-seconds. The really neat thing about these products is; after use, and when he has the time, the user boils it for 5-minutes, the Click-It Hot warmer is regenerated for use and this can be done over and over again for years!

Driving to the Keys? Wake Up Call; So Far, So almost Good, Just Wait Until Full Opening of Cuba!
APtravelnews-Key West, -FL .-3/20/15-“Bob and Barb On The Road Again”-After having lived in the Florida Keys for more than 30-years and remembering the times when getting on the one-lane section of the US-1 Overseas Hwy was “a breeze in the Keys”, we are now wondering if getting on the highway will still remain a “breeze”, or turn into a hurricane now that Cuba is opening up to tourism. This post is not a rant about Cuba, (actually, we can’t wait to take the ferry, we love great Cuban food, true Cuban locals to talk to, and sport fishing-no politics!) just about plain common sense re-evaluating how in the world a one lane road to Key West from the southern most part of Key Largo, 190-miles on a single lane each way, is still going to work now?
If the Federal Government expects everyone from now on, that hopes to get to Key West for business or pleasure, driving 50-miles per hour over 43-bridges (yeah, I counted them for my book “43-Bridges to The Florida Keys”} will not be doing 20-miles per hour! What I see and I am the first to write about this, the Overseas Highway will need to be widened to two lanes running both ways into and out of the Keys. I’ll leave this to my readers about costs, safety as in how to get out of Keys in a hurricane or other natural and unnatural disaster. All the way around, the costs are humongous, to say the least! No problem, the way this gov is spending, they’ll print some more! Regardless, once work begins on the highway, you might as well stay home. As it is the Keys is getting over done in so many ways. Used to be able to buy a home there, now better be a millionaire, never got really ripped at motels and marinas for anything, fishing captain, hotel, motel, (restaurants are still somewhat reasonable and great for seafoods) the diving is still good, but no need to go past Key Largo, the best buys for tourists in the keys is Key Largo only an hour from Miami!
Tervis Tumblers, Fishouflage Insulated Make Great Gifts To Yourself and Friends
APtravelnews-December 10th, Port St Lucie, FL. Bob & Barb (we like these a lot)—-Camouflage-Yep! But for Tervis Tumblers its “Fishouflage” in and on their insulated tumbler glasses. Very neat item for gift giving too! What we like first of all is; the Tervis brand means insulated. We like our drinks cold when we want them cold and hot when we want them hot! The insulated tumblers help a lot in this regard. Now with a line of sportsmen and women friendly tumblers called “Fishouflage” they have sent a message that fishermen already know well-fish do camouflage themselves in and under the cover of trees and brush, weed and rock. The graphics show this wonderfully. You have to look a bit under the covers so to speak to see the Redfish, Bass, Crappie or Walleye hiding out in almost plain sight, yet “Fishouflaged” on a 16 ounce, Tervis Tumbler! Go Tervis on the internet and check out this fine companies offerings!
