Beep, Beep & then I see a flash of yellow out of the corner of my eye! It's 1 of the millions of cabby's in N.Y.C pulling out to cut me off, so I hit the brakes and get another beep from behind! The cab drivers drive like mad men! but I made it through the city and it ended up being pretty fun! We left Ft Lauderdale at lunch and got to Jacksonville at dinner and stayed at a motel 6 (which was cheaper than a lot of hostels). But during the night Forest got some really bad news that a his grandfather had died! So he had to fly back to Texas, we said our goodbyes, It was a bit of a bummer cause I had a top time hangin with forest, your a ... read more

I was only in Aventura (suburb of Miami) for a few days but it was a pretty adventurous 4 days. We happened to be there during Hurricane Katrina on her first landfall and the eye of the hurricane passed right overhead. I was pretty nervous but the local were very calm and we just hunkered down playing Trivia Pursuit 90's edition until 1am. Thankfully Katrina was only level 1 on her first landfall as we all know the damage that she caused over New Orleans. ... read more

Standing outside the only bar crazy enough to stay open during a hurricane, beer in hand fighting the 130 km/hr winds blowing sand, rain and trees, right on da beach! Then back to the hostel for beers, drinking games, wet as and no power! I planned to stay 1 night in Fort Lauderdale but ended up staying a week! On the bus from Key west I met Forest from Texas and he planned on going back home to Houston but decided to stay, so we went to the hostel.

On our way back from south central Florida on August 15th, we stopped in a Chevron station in northern Florida to buy gas. In the store there were three stuffed jungle cats, which "roared" when you press on one paw. This is where I need your help: there was only one black panther stuffed animal left...and I really need it! I am in Texas now, and will not be driving back to Florida for many months. IF you happen to see this black panther which "roars" when you press the paw (and its little eyes glow green at same time)...let me know which store it is and which city it is in! It costs $9.99 and I really wish I had purchased the darn thing while I was there. We did not keep the receipt, so ... read more

ZZZZZZZZZZZ.. "Aaron your on! So i jumped in the chair and started winding. This fish was working me! I got him in to the boat and it was a nice dolphin ( not flipper, a Mai Mai ) Todd owns a charter boat ( charter boat! what charter boat? an Aussie thing) & he took us out for a day of deep sea fishing. On the way out i drove so Todd could get the boat all set. After about an hour we chucked the lines in and i followed the weed line. Owen got a barracuda first up and later he hooked the biggest dolphin, Sara got 1, Lisa got 1 & i got 2 nice dolphins. When we got back we went to turtle kraals a bar @ the dock and they cooked up ... read more

So many bars, so little time! There was a heap of shirts with this on. I've never been to so many bars in such a short time. I spent 7 days in Key West and partied 6 of em! Every 1 is on island time, 24-7 partyin & no dress code, boardies, pluggers & a singlet, top stuff. Each day I would go down to Maloray square ( right on the H2O, a ton of little stalls sellin stuff & lots of street performers) & I'd watch the sunset. Then I'd go bar hoppin! There was bars right on the H2O, bars with business cards & bras covering the walls and ceiling, bars with bands, bars with walls full of slushy cocktails, bars with misty H2o sprinklers on the roof & my faverate place, iris Kevin's ... read more

Key west! Where do I start I stayed for a week and I want to stay! I have had such a good time partyin, fishing, cruising the streets on a scooter, watching the sunset and more partyin! I have so many good pics so i have put them into few entries to fit them all in. So I will post 1 of the fishing trip, the partyin and the sunsets. I arrived on Monday and planned to go back to fort lauderdale on Wednesday with Lisa, the kids and Sara (from camp). But I had such a good time I asked Todd if I could stay at his house for another day. Then Todd asked if i could look after the house n dog for the weekend, while he goes to see Lisa back in Michigan, ... read more
