I have been posting lots of reviews and trying to keep up with reading and commenting on blogs, but is has been hard. Why you ask? I am in Florida for a 10 week visit. I hate the gray skies, they leave me a bit depressed, so I head south the day after Christmas and stay until mid March.
Now that I am here, I have been sitting in the sun everyday, walking, going to aquafit classes and a some sight seeing. Here are a few pictures of my first weeks here.
First Stop, I didn’t do much here except exercise, read, sit in the sun.
Second Stop, I have already been walking the beach, hiking in a State Park and taken the Water Taxi down the Intracoastal Waterway. With all the money spent on yachts and homes, we could eradicate world hunger!
I am at my second location, 3 weeks in Weston Florida, this week in Fort Lauderdale and at the end of this week, I begin to travel north. My next stop will be in Jensen Beach on Hutchinson Island for two weeks.
I am going to try to do some of my weekly posts this week, but when the sun is calling ……….
Have a great week everyone!

Enjoy the sun!! I’ll hold down the snow fort while you’re away. Our neighbors are snow birds in Florida every winter. They leave on Halloween and return Easter weekend. Have fun!

Thanks Mac. I could never be gone that long, I would miss my grandchildren way too much for that. Even 10 weeks is hard.

For some reason I can’t see your pictures, Carla. I think it’s a WiFi issue. 😡 I’ll try again tomorrow.

What a great idea, glad you’re enjoying yourself in the warm sunshine! I struggled to keep up with my blog posts when we were away for a fortnight over the festive season, remember the most important thing is to stay safe and enjoy yourself. We can catch up on everything via your posts when you have the time and inclination to share. Love the photos!

We got mostly rain and ice out of it. Would be easier to deal with all snow I would think. That’s why your pics came at the perfect time! 😊

I used to stay in one place, Orlando area, but it was just not warm enough in January. I started doing this last year, where I head further south in January and then work my way back up to Orlando, It works much better weatherwise.
