301 plaza truck stop

One of the ways to go to phila and north from d.c. is across the bay bridge and up 301...a pleasant drive as long as you dont speed....at the town of Middletown, Delaware there is a truck stop ...the 301 plaza....open at 7...i go there once a month on the way to a consultation in plymouth meeting, pennsylvania.....the waitress, Debby, remembers me as her once a month man and I have the Hungry Man breakfast which is 3 eggs, 5-6 slices of bacon, home fries, coffee ( refills are free) and all of this with my senior citizen discount is 8 bucks....so for a 10 spot I have a great breakfast....and I get a coffee to go at no additional charge...such a deal!!!!

Florida discovery

Went fishing in Marco Island last week and we looked for a crummy but good and finally, after an hour of looking and finding a motorcyclist at 6 a.m. who responded with the suggestion that we go to Hoots...and so we did....Hoots is at 563 Elkham circle in Marco Island and is open for breakfast and lunch....Homemade bread and the rye was delicious...the place opens at 7 but there were 5 tables already occupied and waiting for the 7 am waitress....a good sign...in any event, a omelette and rye toast with good home fries was in the offing and the check for 2 of us was 20 with the tip....good breakfast....my guess is with the home made bread that lunch is probably equally as good....
