Ok first apologies I am in Florida and driving rather than biking because I have the family with me.

Having yet to set off on my first motorcycle adventure my confidence in doing so as taken a real knock due to events last night.I assumed by reading so many reports that everyone on all travels were in the main friendly. Now I know that was naivety on my part.

Last night traveling back to Orlando Davenport having visited the Kennedy Space Centre hungry we pulled off of the auto route to find a Mc Donalds.When we found one my daughter and eldest grandson jumped out of the car quickly and went in to order.As she walked through the door she said it seemed funny that a guy in a white shirt was just about to walk around the other side of the counter. She then heard another young fella say on his cell phone " yer they must be here on holiday " I then walked in and clocked him looking at me as he spoke on his phone.My fears were confirmed when my daughter told me what she had heard and I immediately said lets go and we all rushed and got back in the car and drove off.
We consider we were lucky and it as now taught me not to be so trusting Sad but if you looked at my gorgeous little grandchildren and thought how they could have been hurt physically or mentally you would feel the same way.And I am also left thinking what awful people you could encounter when travelling.

I just feel that we must be the luckiest family ever at this moment in time to have got away from a dangerous situation.
