This trip seemed so far away for so long and then suddenly snuck up on us as the last weeks passed quickly. We booked this cruise two years ago when the itinerary first came out, at a price we couldn't resist. It was originally scheduled on the Voyager of the Seas, the oldest ship of the Voyager Class, a class of ships that was the beginning of features like the indoor promenade and ice skating rinks at sea. Then Royal Caribbean moved a few ships around and switched our cruise to the Adventure of the Seas, a sister to the Voyager.
We began our morning early, around 4:20 a.m., plotted out a route, and made our way to Titusville, Florida where we would spend that night.

Breakfast at the Waffle House in Auburn, AL
(this was our longest charging stop at 34 minutes but only because it took us that long to eat breakfast) |

| Our first view of palm trees |

| Courtyard in Titusville (with 6 level 2 chargers) |

| Fish were jumping, birds were flying around, and we think we may have seen a manatee, all right outside our hotel. The bridge in the photo leads to the Kennedy Space Center on Merritt Island. |
The drive was fairly uneventful. It took about 11 hours in our new Model Y. We made 4 stops to charge which included a breakfast stop at the Waffle House (34 minutes), a bathroom break (7 minutes), lunch at a Wendy's (23 minutes), and a final bathroom break and opportunity to pick up wraps to eat later for supper (12 minutes). Our hotel had free destination charging. With the free supercharging miles, our fuel costs were free this trip. If we had paid for those supercharging stops, it would have cost us about $40. We had a 6-11 mile per hour headwind the entire trip, along with some rain and wet roads, which probably decreased our efficiency by about 10 or 12%.
