I should have mentioned that we visited St.Augustine, Jekyll, and St.Simon Island by car, while we were docked in Daytona. What a lot of history in those places. We always think of Plymouth Rock, and the May Flower when we think of the earlier settlers, but St.Augustine has that beaten by something like 50 years. Yes that is when Ponce de Leon (1513) first sighted the area of the USA. St.Augustine is actually the oldest City in the USA. Ponce de Leon build a strong hold (Castillo de Saint Marcos) on that spot, and it was never defeated.
Very interesting place to visit, and experience the European (Spanish) influence. Later in the late 1800 Henry Flagler tried to turn this city into the playground for the rich. Henry's influence can still be seen today, all over town. The now Flagler Collage was in those days the luxurious hotel for Henry, and his famous guests. Henry made his fortune in the oil business together with his business partner Rockefeller (Standard Oil). He also has to his credit the building of the railroad to and beyond St.Augustine.

From there we visited Jekyll Island. Also a very interesting place to visit, with lots of history.
Jekyll Island was originally settled by the Morgan Fam. They where to farm the land, and supply the nearby settlement and fort Frederica. Build by James Oglethorp, to defend the colony of Georgia from the Spanish. (Ponce de Leon) Later in the late 1800 the Jekyll Island was sold to a bunch of prominent business people from New York. It was turned into a privet club by people like Morgan, Rockefeller, Pulitzer, and Vanderbilt, plus 50 or so buddies of these families. Many decisions that shaped the USA in what it is today were discussed at Jekyll Island, and eventually became law. The club flourished for some 50 years, and some amazing cottages were build. The great depression was the start of the downfall of Jekyll Island, and by the time the second world war started the club fell apart. In 1947 the Island was bought by the state of Georgia, and it is maintained as a state park. Strict laws keep the Island unique as compared to the commercial tourist places you see along the coast in Florida.
