![]() When we tell people that we are going "on vacation", they often ask "You are retired. What exactly are you taking a break from?" On the surface, this seems like a valid question. We are retired and live in a lakefront home in a great but remote tourist area. As much as we love the isolation, it takes a lot of effort to do the things that city people find routine. (shopping, entertainment, getting to appointments, etc). Florida provides the perfect alternative to our daily life. We stay in a condo on the Gulf of Mexico and have a convenient and extensive selection of restaurants, entertainment and shopping. (plus the ability to kick back and relax on the beach!) ![]() When we want to relax, we can sit on the white sand beach or our private balcony and watch the dolphins and manatees swim by (usually with a drink in our hands!). When we want to be a little more active, there is lots to do. (great dining, greyhound races, entertainment, even shopping - heaven forbid!) Share our experience in the following pictures: |
