I grew up near there, irishkat!! I've been to beaches all over the world and I still think that white powdery sand near Clearwater is the bestest !!

Some people try to turn back their odometers. Not me! I want people to know why I look this way. I've traveled a long way, and some of the roads weren't paved .

I have been to Siesta Key and it's a great place. Did you hear about the man-eating lizards on Siesta Key and Sannibel Island?

That Myakka state Park is a great place. It feels like Old Florida there.

JV, where did you hear such a thing?.. Granted there are alligators, but they're everywhere down here, I've got a five footer living the the drainage canal behind our house right now.. I've lived and worked in Sarasota as a Firefighter for 37 years and if there were monitor lizards here, I would know about them... Rest assured, if you vacation here again, you won't be eaten, at least not by a monitor...
