Thanks for sharing, Leonard. Good luck surviving the season! Oh good to hear we aren’t the only ones who had a bad experience with the Quebec’ers. Thanks for sharing, Leonard.

We live in Fort Lauderdale, and can't wait for tourist season to end. The canadians are rude, unfriendly, don't smile at you or say hello back. They don't hire locals for any repairs, only use people who came from canada, during the winter months. Since they also only use their apliances for 3-5 months, the think the warranties should be extended just for them , since they don't use the equipment the rest of the year. I would prefer the Europeans or people from South America, over canadians There is a very dog friendly beach on th corner of Sunrise Blvd, and A1A.

I get the regeneration angle but sever a claw without written consent (and how would they offer written consent in light of said action?), this smacks of dead white male eliteism at work again. Wait a minute, I love crab meat, eat 'em up team teach those crabs whose boss of the garlic and butter sauce!

Wait a minute, I love crab meat, eat ‘em up team teach those crabs whose boss of the garlic and butter sauce!

And just $1300 for his bachelor pad. Not too shabby. We didn't venture out to restaurants other than the Blue Moon, which was great. We had Stone Crab claws, which were delicious. These claws, they go for $20 each. They're delectible. The best part is that the crabs don't die when the claws get hacked off; they regenerate! As a fish-a-tarian, I like that! As far as parking near the beach, good luck. In Northern Florida that's a little easier. But once you get into South Florida, there are few places to park a big rig like yours Sara.

Kinda like a tropical Mr Haney on Green Acres. The "restaurants" within walking distance were greasy dives (check out the rocking-seat-contraption restaurant near the beach ... woof). My one excursion was to a Kinko's to do some work, where the cab fleeced me and I dodged raindrops to find some after-hours beautiful-people bar with the personality of a Naugahyde sofa. I ordered a Cosmo on the rocks and they gave me a Kamikaze. Since they didn't charge $12 for it like the Marriott did, I drank it happily. Ahh, Ft Laud ... those were some days, eh?

You make it sound soooo inviting :) You're not the first person that has warned us about Florida. My brother HATES it. He says it's the worst state in the country. So, I'm hoping that since we have personal contacts, etc. it shouldn't be too bad :) I'm looking forward to the warm ocean! When we were in Myrtle Beach, it was numbingly cold. Are there places to park the rig when you want to go to the beach? Oooh great. You make it sound soooo inviting :) You’re not the first person that has warned us about Florida. My brother HATES it.

Yes the ocean on the Right coast is warm down there, like a lukewarm bath tub. It's a nice passive coastline... BORING!!!!! Now here on the cold Left coast it's a very active and that makes for an incredibly beautiful coastline (but you already know that). Check it out: http://blog.kadez.com/2008/01/31/ocean-kayaking-off-goat-rock-norcal/ Not a great vid but the camera battery went dead before I caught the wave that flipped me stern over bow! Sure most folks ware a wetsuit out here but hell it's not that cold ;) LOL,
