Suburban Extended Stay Hotel Sarasota

After a 30 minute flight from Palm Beach, FL to Tampa, I had arrived at the Gulf of Mexico side of Florida, my personal favorite. I went to college in Daytona Beach, FL so I am a big fan of the state and always love visiting.

Good times were had with the soon to be married couple. I rented ...

We drove Thursday night up to Bethesda and checked into the hotel. The wedding was very nice, at Congressional Country Club, with a touch of the Navy involved. Shane, Lolly's husband, is a Navy pilot and was in uniform for the wedding, along with many of his Academy friends, who added a nice touch to the ...

... Most of all I want to learn about life, and how to better live it, without having fear or doubts. I want to go out and party a lot of the time, but i also want to stay grounded and find a good balance between my two sides of my personality. Patience is the key to all of this. If I can stay calm, relax and wait my turn, I will have successful travels, and accomplish my small goals.

... Except with out damage, blood, and guts. It was the coolest thing! I had never seen an entire school of fish do that.

Apparently those types of fish jump out of the water so they can locate the rest of the school if they get left behind. But in this instance, something must have startled the school causing them to erupt from the water like that. It was very natural and neat. Man, I love nature!

... at 5 pm. We did see another Wyland gallery however (the other two we saw were in Key West) and I found a jewelry shop that carries the Asch Grosbardt jewelry I like. I have only ever seen Asch Grosbardt in the Caribbean before so was interested in American prices. We drove north from there via Longboat Key and Anna Maria Island - both well known for their beautiful beaches. Sadly the weather turned us off spending more time there. Also ...

... leaving right now." We quickly broke down the RV and I got some shorts on and took off with Jodie still in the middle of making coffee. We took a couple of hard turns and Jodie bumped her head above the stove, turning on the light and the exhaust fan. We pulled in 5 miles later and Jodie said "the coffee is ready." People were ...

... party! Louisianna is really beautiful but wet - by taking the smaller state and parish roads - I saw some beautiful country. I was pleasantly surprised. The trip from N.O. to here, Sarasota was non-eventful as my main mission was to get here. 6 hours driving per day a bit delirious - books on cd definiately help. I cheated and took 10 to Tallahassee from Pensacola. Hopefully, I'll be well soon. I know I'm leaving stuff out but that's all I can think of right now.
