Kudos To Smiling JOe!

my mom is one of those travelers who feels like she has to be on the run every single minute of her vacation, she can't stand just sitting on the beach. she feels like she is wasting time. i think she has a screw loose or sumpin'. :lol:

Yep she should see a doctor. "Wastin time" is a good thing. Funny how different people can be on this topic. My friend loves to travel to Europe and if I was there I'd want to see those historic sights as well. I mean if your in Italy you should see the Colliseum and the Vatican. (and bring your friend back cute shoes and purses) SoWal is boring to her, she runs on batteries.
That's cool, just leaves more sand for me.

I agree and we ususally LOVE the house we stay at so we actully enjoy just being there. This year we may rent the bikes. I'm searching for my beach books right now. I plan ahead :lol: Can't wait.

Let's start another best book for the beach thread for spring/summer 06. I'm on it...

I'll follow you!

Right now I'm reading the new Sue Monk Kidd book THE MERMAID CHAIR. I was supposed to wait for vacation in 3 weeks but somehow I had to start reading it! She's the author that wrote THE SECRET LIFE OF BEES. It's pretty interesting so far. I like her character detail. This probably should be a new thread if we're going to talk about books, huh?? :idontno:

Treated us to a great meal at a local Mexican jerint tonight. Thanks much SJ, really appreciate it :cool:

and spidey has a new best friend (his words). :wub:

Kimbug, the new thread is now started in the lounge. I've read the Secret Life of Bees (loved it) and hope to read the Mermaid Chair. I buy most of my novels about a year or more after they come out - I buy them at garage sales (we live in a town in which everyone reads a lot so I get some great books) and at the library that sells donated books for $1. Then I use the saved money to buy truffles for the beach or put it into the kids' college accounts (always a tough call...).

How many SoWallers do you recognize???

Graytonbound??? Otter????? :confused: :confused:

Dude, SJ--what up? We saw the Otters when we were there--you have to hang with us separately?

never hear about this stuff till afterwards :(

Shoot, not when Peapod and Lucky are in town!

eh? :idontno: When you were "here," I was on the beach -- that is the place to find me. Ask Donna, Kurt, RiverOtter, Grayton Bound, Sunshine, etc. That is where I met them all. You do go to the beach when you come down, eh -- not just shopping for the big event forthcoming?

Let it be known that I am not a planner of gatherings. ;-)

You don't see me in that pic :idontno:

Well I can only guess! ;-)

I by no means meant to be clippy. :funn:when I have a week there, you can find me on the beach and ONLY the beach. When I have a day and a half, I have to squeeze everything in!
