I remember them serving hoagies for supper after we drove for 2 days to stage at the Tamiami Airport and you could see bugs on the lettuce. After seeing the lunch the next day that was supposed to be meatloaf we left and bought our own. Miami purely treated us like shit.
I do have to commend whoever was over Merritt Island, he asked us did we have any concerns or complaints and we told him about the food and they had a huge BBQ that night with chicken and ribs in house. To me their Northern parts were alot better than down South.
Several times we got treated decent down south, last trip..Hurricane Wilma, I believe, working in W Palm and Ft Lauderdale..treated pretty good until the day they released us...then had to move to a different hotel for the night before we drove home....think we'd been better sleeping in the trucks , rather than that 'fine, pay by the hour, flea bag stinking hole in the ground they put us in'.....only good thing that night, we found a great place to eat, (our nickle) and at the No tell motel...the tiki bar in the parking lot...blue tarp roof and all, had COLD beer and lots of tequila!!!!
