... 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?

I've been visiting Cape Coral, Fl for what seems like my whole life. My son lives down there now and he's 22, so I frequently visit him and from now on I will stay at the Hampton Inn. I used to stay at the Casa Loma Motel, but after my last visit I realized that the place is going downhill. The old manager, Ray, was great, but there's a new manager who I'm not familiar with ...

... high for great shelling today on the sand, but Bri & Gabi went in the water and dove for shells, finding lots of nice treasures. Squadrons of pelicans flew low across the waves, and groups of White Ibises marched along the wet sand probing for food with their long, downward curving bills. We had a great time, but headed back to the condo by mid afternoon so we could pack up and get ready to leave early on Tuesday.

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!

We helped to break camp and then said goodbye to the grandparents. The girls and I then took a rainy drive to Sanibel Island...one of the best shelling beaches in the world!

We got right into our suits and headed to the beach. We picked up a bag full of different shells and Sarah was not feeling well. We then went to the pool for a bit then back to the room to rest before dinner. We ate at the Lazy Flamingo. Katie had fried oysters, Sarah had shrimp ...

... fish jump out of the water. After lunch, we just hung out at her house and took it easy and went to the pool. Her friend Larry came over for dinner and we had a great meal - it is so nice to have real food. And best of all she had these little desserts called creme puffs - they were amazing! The next day we went to the beach. To get to Gram Judi's beach, you have to take the car to a bus, then take a ...

... No reminders required as soon as the motor kicked into life and the noise of the propeller behind, certainly convinced us it was a good idea to don the earmuffs. Off the boat floats at a very sedate pace, this is in brackish water amongst other houses and boat docks close by. A sign indicates no wake, so a good guess as to the reason of the slow beginning pace. We spotted a couple of Osprey,(sea eagles) sitting up on the top of mangrove trees, and as we travelled down a ...

... 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 ...

More than any other competitors, I hold a deep respect for the dedicated athletes of two main sports: free-diving and mass-quantity eating. Not to brag, but I'm pretty good at both. If there was a Bulk-Eating League of Contest Holders (BELCH), I'd be the starting dessert-back for the Florida Clogged Arteries. But there's not, so I came up with "Week of Gluttony." The original goal was to accept seven eating contests from restaurants and other people. The idea was if I won ...
