Well, my wife arrived tonight on Allegiant Air, and all is well with my world, altho Wallie wants to know who this woman is and why she keeps hugging him.
Last night was the night from hell. St. Augustine Beach is on the beach, alright. But it gets thumbs down.The St. Augustine Beach Resort is way past it's prime and I'm guessing they were doing well if 20% of the rooms were filled. So they obviously are looking for other ways to generate money. They choose to cater to the local 20 something singles swingers crowd. I had a room beachside and I noticed about 20 yards away a veranda with tables.
Well, about 11 pm, after I had fallen asleep, this god awful racket woke me. It was coming from the veranda where a dj had set up and was booming rock music to a crowd of tanked up and riotous young people. It went on until 2 am. Icalled and screamed at the night clerk, but it quickly became evident that they were generating a lot more from the bar than from the rooms, because he didn't give a crap.
What is it with old white guys and young latino men fishing from piers and from the beach? I did a survey driving down A1A from St. Augustine to Daytona Beach. It's a big deal, but only for Old White men and young Latino men. But wait, all their wives are at the flea markets while their men are catching dinner.
The beach communities between Jacksonville and Daytona? Thumbs down. We won't be staying anywhere below Amelia Island.
It's nice having Peg here. We're staying at the RamadaInn Maingate Kissimmee. $35 a night. Caters to young families that cannot afford to stay on the Disney grounds. Tomorrow Peg picks.
So, Florida is too hip for you, huh? I am reading this at 4:30 AM as we wait for the taxi to the airport. Fred is very organized, and I am just pretty much doing as directed. Hope St Thomas is a thumbs up. Have fun in the Keys, Hamiltons!
ReplyDeleteHal, it seems the one thing you didn't think of was to simply - er, join the party. You and Wally I mean.
