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 10×10 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, took a day trip to the Keys and then one day we went on an alligator tour. I wanted to see some close up and personal. They’re pretty ugly if you ask me.

Moni, Lovely pictures. They leave me wishing I could sit in the sun on a beach somewhere warm. February is ending and so is my love for this season, winter. Bring on spring with all it’s buds, birds, showers, warmer temperatures & mud.

Spring I hope is in the air! I’m more than ready for it.

I am a winter person and love that we are in the midst of the best winter in over 35 years… but I do have to say, this does look awesome and very relaxing. I love hot tubs and that one jay was in was HUGE!

The snow looks very pretty but I’m really tired of it. Florida was very nice and I loved the hot tub. We used it every day.

Thank you MeLanda,
We really enjoyed our stay there. Our friends spent 4 months there this year and are on their way home now.
Jay and I spent a lot of time by the pool just veggie out and of course we took daily walks around the resort. It’s so beautiful there.

Monika, if you took daily walks you probably met up with me as I walked/rode in golf cart with my white standard poodle and little white coton de tulear.I think i had the only white standard in the park this season.Best regards,

Funny, but I think we probably waved to each other. Also I spent time talking with a lady in the pool that was thinking of buying but worried about the declining prices… was that you?

Melanda…What kind of Motor Coach do you have? I was drolling over most of them there.
