Florida vacation

I love posting about our trips and this one is no exception.

We took a trip recently and spent some time with Jay's step mother Barbara McGillicuddy down in Venice, Florida and then with good friends Bill and Nada Marth in Naples Florida.

While in Venice we stayed with Barbara and Jay got her all set up with a new laptop and set up a wireless system for her. We had lunch on the water one day and really enjoyed ourselves.

We only spent two days in Venice but it gave us enough time to catch up and enjoy each others company.

In Naples we stayed at an exclusive RV Resort. Pelican Lake is a Luxury Motor Coach Resort and is something to behold. This was our second stay at Pelican Lake and we "camped" with our friends in their 40 foot Motor Coach. Most of the motor homes at Pelican Lake are very pricey...well into the million dollar category.

Pelican Lake like the rest of Florida has seen a decrease in prices. Imagine a 55' wide by 120' strip of land with a 20' wide drive and a 10x10 coach house selling for over $300,000 and then on top of that the individual owners have added lush landscaping and lighting. Now some of those lots are just sitting waiting for a new owner.

While there we really enjoyed just kicking back and vegging out and visiting the pool and hot tub daily. We spent my birthday Valentines Day having dinner by the water on Capri Island and then one day we went on an alligator tour. I wanted to see some close up and personal. They are pretty ugly if you ask me.
