Today was a super nice day.
Had an easy morning, followed by a fun boat ride with Frank and his friend Jeff, to a restaurant. It was so cool to just put around the water and "park" the boat at the restaurant, to have some yummy fish.
Then we went back to Jeff's house and the three of us went out on kayaks around the mangroves for several hours. During one part we went through very narrow water ...
Just a quick entry to point out where I flew into...
Looong 10 hour flight from Germany. Then the bags took a while to come out, and the immigrations people were *******s. But I made it through, no problems, after they asked me loots and lots of questions... dumbasses.
Anywho, then I met Frank, my CS host who was nice enough to pick me up and take me to his house, where we are now... in a small, small town on an island, called Matlacha.
... with Claire at Olive Garden; took Agnes and Cliff for a ride to Captiva Island so they could see the Bubble Room Restaurant; swam in the Gulf and beautiful swimming pools at our RV Park and at their Condo, had a great dinner of barbecued ribs prepared by Claire on our last night here; and were lucky enough to see dolphins playing in the Gulf and a most amazing sunset over the water! Whew! packed a lot into a week, didn't we?
... the place. At first he was nice when I was being checked in (although he had no idea what he was doing). But when I needed some maintenance done on my room (which wasn't even clean, it was filthy, dirty bathroom and unchanged sheets) he wasn't willing to help me. I had barely any water coming out of the shower and he seemed to not care that my room was dirty. He said he ...
Cape Coral, Florida, United States floridatravelerWe got up early today and drove to Sanibel Island. For those who haven't been there, Sanibel & Captiva Islands on the Gulf of Mexico have some of the nicest beaches around, and Sanibel is known for fantastic shelling.
While walking over the inland waterway to get to Bowman Beach, the girls spotted a manatee and watched it amble under the foot bridge we were on and swim off into the distance. The tide was ...
We ate breakfast at the hotel restaurant, Courtney's, then checked out. We drove to one of the public beach access areas and headed out to do some more shelling. We found more treasures! The girls went out at first in just shorts, but that didn't last long. There were signs on the roads to watch out for gopher tortoises...but we didn't see any!
We then drove on to Lake City to stay at the same Comfor Suites...still very nice!
... I had a half-dozen oysters on the half shell and a grilled grouper sandwich. It was tasty.
Katie and I went back out to the beach at low tide and found some real treasures. Sarah was still not feeling great, so she watched cartoon network.
We had planned on going back out early for the next low tide (it was at 5:30a.m.), but it was storming. Which was actually a great thing because it meant the shelling even at high tide was going to be good.
... the bathroom ski-light cover and smashed in the fan and screen to slide through the small opening. The only thing of value missing was Gary's late father's signet ring. Next stop was Charleston, SC where we again took a carriage/harbour tour to see more beautiful homes of the Deep South. After a couple of days, we moved on to Savannah, GA to experience more southern hospitality. There was a Seafood Festival at the waterfront while we were there ...
Fort Myers, Florida, United States roadrunners07... This recent phenomenon is carried out to popular music with a repetative, unstimulating beat and to lyrics which are usually hostile, violent, venge-filled, loose-moralled, dishonest, pessimistic, greedy, self-praising, or contradictive. I´d like to forget 90´s culture ever happened. 5. INDULGENCES - Many people are no longer able to create happiness or to have it consistently. They´re excited only to eat, go shopping, have sex, watch television, possibly ...
St. Petersburg, Florida, United States modernoddyseus... that. While Johnny and I didn't even get kisses, atleast the girls saved us from the scary prospect of walking home and getting mugged by cute, laughing unarmed kids half our size. So ends another danger-filled day in the life... of Modern "Johnny" Oddyseus "Here comes Johnny singing oldies, goldies Be-Bop-A-Lua, Baby What I Say Here comes Johnny singing I Gotta Woman Down in the tunnels, trying to make it pay" - Dire Straits (Walk of Life)
