Fantastic Florida Keys

After getting off the cruise ship, we picked up our puppies and were heading south!  Unfortunately, when we went to drop off our dirty laundry at the trailer, and pick up a few things, we found that SOMEONE had forgotten to take out a can of frozen orange juice in the freezer, and then that same SOMEONE forgot to prop open the fridge and freezer doors while we left the trailer in storage for a week in the hot Florida sun. Who knew that it would explode when it started to ferment?                                                          Needless to say, SOMEONE then had to spend an hour or so scubbing the mold out of the fridge and freezer before leaving the trailer for a few more days.  Yet another trailer lesson learned.     
We are staying in the Florida Keys for a few days, and have found a wonderful little hotel called the Sands of Islamorada.  We have a huge living room with a TV and a hide-a-bed, and a full sized kitchen table.  There is also a bedroom with two queen beds, a kitchenette, and a bathroom.  I tell you all this because we were so excited after four and a half months in a 10 foot wide trailer, and a week in a room smaller than the trailer, that this hotel room was like heaven!!!                                                                  But this little piece of temporary home heaven was greatly surpassed by the view at the end of the dock!!!  We spent ages just watching whole flocks of pelicans dive into the ocean while fishing.  I think they might be my new favourite bird!

  1. Ahhhh..paradise! Pelicans are Brent's favourite...we watched them all day when we were in San Diego. I could sit at the end of that dock all day too!

    Gee...I wonder who that SOMEONE was?? Like you said, another great learning experience!!
