Well we barely made the plane. We left Vail around 5:10 for our 8:24 flight. I thought we were going to miss it. 3 hours and 20 minutes later, we landed in Ft Lauderdale. We then waited for our checked bag and headed to get our rental car. Then another 3 hours later, we were in Sarasota. Our friends home is the entire 11th floor of this incredible building right on the water wedged between the Ritz Carlton and the Hyatt. You take the elevator up to their floor and the door opens right into their home. From their deck, all you see is water!
Last night, even though we were tired, we went to Captain Brian’s which is this little restaurant in a strip mall with the best seafood there is. We had fresh stone crab, lobster and clams. It was really really good. We went to sleep around 11 and Jag is still sleeping. Today we’ll be going on a big adventure all around Sarasota from the museum started by the Ringling’s (of Ringling Circus fame) to shops and maybe out on our friends boat, which is like 150 feet long! So time to run, hope all’s well, tomorrow we’re heading back to the other coast (the east) to Boca Raton, so stand by. God Bless.
