Okay, so despite Brisbane being a really great city it was getting a little lonely. You meet some cool people but it's not like having your friends around you. The main problem was that hostels really aren't for me. They're all decent as far as hostels go but they're basically what I've been working for the last few years to get away from - no privacy, nowhere to put any belongings.

I had been hearing rave reviews from friends and family about a cute little west coast Florida town called Sarasota. Being a dedicated Seinfeld fan, I remember Jerry's parents mentioning Sarasota fairly often, so I finally decided to check it out. This place literally blew me away. I was expecting to spend my three short days in Sarasota baking on beautiful Siesta Beach, home to the world's softest and whitest sand. That fantasy definitely came true, but there were so many things ... read more

Sunny Sarasota North America » United States » Florida » Sarasota By PamMay 31st 2007Pamela Monroe Wow!!! Where did the last 3 months go?? We have been way too busy for retired people. We returned to Sarasota in mid Feburary and bought a condo in May. We are once again home owners and I'm not sure how both of us feel about that. It was a deal that we just couldn't pass by in a beautiful condo complex on Little Sarasota Bay. This doesn't mean that our traveling has stopped. In fact,we leave for Europe on June 1. We will be traveling through Portugal, Spain, France, an... read more
