Breda and I begin our journey from sunset beach to cocoa beach. Google says it'll be 550 miles should take around 10 hours. We ABSOLUTELY need to make it to the realty office by 6 or else we'd be sans condo for a night, creating much headache...so we decide to leave at 4am. Turns out it doesn't actually take that long. We were able to make it down to the office in about 8 hours...probably coulda slept in a little bit more. Practically nonstop driving (cept for gas) and no traffic helped achieve our excellent time.
Now begins the scary part...
Walked in to the realty office to get the keys to the apartment. They got my name then handed me my keys. Just had to initial some forms that were already filled out by Orbital. Now that we got the keys, we HAD to go check out our digs! Headed down to Royale Towers (passing Ron Jon, which looks like something out of a cartoon) and got into our room. After drooling over the apt, we drove up to get my rental car. I walked in and ran into two people from work waiting for their cars. Picked out my car from the lot (a totally rad Buick Lacrosse, my 'old man' car) and drove out in less than a half hour. Now that we were all caught up with our junk, we just needed to check in with the apartment office. They had our papers all filled out, and all we needed was stickers for both the cars, which we got with no problems.
So yeah, it was scary because everything worked perfectly!
A little more about the apartment:
It is exquisite. Two bedrooms, two baths, big kitchen, huge living room and a magnificent view of the beach from the balcony. Check out the pics (and yes, the beach really is that close):
