The Treasure Coast of Florida - Travel Friends Unite!

Happy!
Alex, so happy to read about your adventures and time spent with Merry Jo and Dave! While the sights and scenery in Florida are wonderful, it is warming to hear and read about how travel ultimately is also about the real connections built during our travels. You experienced all of it!

The Treasure Coast
Dave here.....so glad you had a great time visiting our part of the world. We look forward to seeing you in your neck of the woods.

Meeting Merry Jo and Dave in person
How wonderful that you got to meet Merry Jo and Dave in person. It seems you really had a great time together, and you got to see and experience so many things. I would love to visit Kennedy Space Center one day, even more now that I read your post. And I guess you learned a lot about the past and present of this part of the US as well, including music and food. Enjoy the next part of your trip!

Meeting new friends
How wonderful to be able to meet in person, and spend time with Dave and Merry Jo! It sounds like you had a great few days with them, and had lots of fun exploring the area. I enjoy their blogs very much.

Airboat ride
When we visted Florida we took an airboat ride in Everglades. I too enjoyed it a lot and saw plenty of animals and birds. But one of the alligators we saw looked very suspicious. I actually think it might have been fake. We saw it right at the end of the tour and it sat on a strange place and a bit obscured. We could see it but not pick out any details. The guide also spotted it a bit too quickly. It would have made sense to have a fake alligator there in case they had a tour where they failed to spot one. Then they would "be really lucky" because they got to "see" one right at the end of the tour. /Ake

Welcome to Florida my friend
This long awaited meeting was all we hoped it would be. A well established email friendship realized good travel partners and a cherished friendship. We squeezed all we could out of the Space Center and we are happy you got to talk with the Astronaut! We love space travel and love being near the Kennedy Center. We enjoyed your visit immensely and look forward to future visits. Brutus says hello. MJ

Binkleys
So lovely to see you hanging out with the Binkleys

Florida
So amazing that you were able to meet the Binkleys. They're such lovely people and appears they looked after you well which has really made your Florida trip rememberable. I wished I had visited the Space Centre as it looks amazing. Also really amazing that you got to see an Osprey and amazing photos of it eating a fish
