Miami Beach - Jersey Shore = Virginia Beach

In my planning I had hoped to take a ferry across a tiny channel in the Outer Banks, NC.  When I looked up the schedule and timing, I was a little shocked that 20 miles would have taken 2.5 hours!  So I decided to ride around the inlet...and it took about 2.5 hours.  However, the route I started to take went right through Camp Lejeune (USMC) - not quite allowed.  No matter - this is a very fluid trip.

I then headed towards Kitty Hawk to see the famous hill where two guys put a motor onto pile of sticks and canvas.  But I first checked out the hang gliding school right up the street.  The clouds were getting thick and dark while at Kill Devil Hill, and I knew it was time to boot.  Virginia Beach was my next stop, which coincidentally is in between four military bases.  Right at the town border I heard tons of jets screaming overhead.
