The real reason we are going to Florida!
It is less than a week before we get our motor running and head out on the highway, looking for adventure and whatever comes our way! Since we will be covering a lot of ground in short time, I know there will be a lot of time in the RV to watch movies while we are on the road…..but not just any kind of movies….we are only going to watch road trip/long distance travel flicks.
Here is my list so far:
Road Trip – Tom Green meets D.J. Qualls. Amy Smart take off her top and hilarity ensues.
Planes Trains and Automobiles – John Candy meets Steve Martin. There is snow and hilarity ensues.
Midnight Run - Robert De Niro meets Charles Grodin. They get on a train and hilarity ensues.
The Burt Reynolds Tri-Fecta
Smokey and the Bandit - Burt Reynolds meets Sally Field. They love Coors beer and hilarity ensues.
Cannonball Run - Burt Reynolds meets Dom Deluise. Slaps him every time he forgets a line and hilarity ensues.
Cannonball Run II - Burt Reynolds meets Dom Deluise. Slaps him every time he forgets a line and hilarity ensues.
…and speaking of Burt Reynolds. You may not realize this but Burt (yes we are on a first name basis) was a big reason we are doing this trip. Yes, we want to meet our customers and Yes, we want to experience all that driving across the US has to offer and these points are super important but I really suggested this trip so I could fulfill a lifelong dream of seeing the Burt Reynolds & Friends Museum in Jupiter Florida.
The experience of walking in the same steps as Burt (and his firends) will be magical….or electric…..or a little of both.
Shoot, I may even grow a mustache to add to the experience!
…and you will notice we will not be watching the Robin Williams epic RV because…well…it would just be too cliché!
Let me know if there is any flicks I am forgetting so I can add them to our mobile film festival!
I think of your journey as comparable to the Road Warrior, which I think it was actually filmed in florida and the Aussie thing was just “myth”
I’m looking forward to getting you guys kicked off here in South Beach! It’s 76 degrees right now (farenheit of course) and sunny. Don’t forget to bring your sunscreen and floaties!
