With all the personal drama going on in my life right now

I'm trying to plan a trip to South FL this early summer with my family. I would love to simply work out a plan to just stop and shake your hand on my way down. If I can work it into our schedules. Would always love to meet a fellow Misfit given the chance. We'd not be too far from from a truckload of Beverly Hillbillys. We like to go to Sanibel for a week or so if we can find someone to take care of our critters in our absence.

The beach a little below you that has fossilized shark teeth all over is another place I'd love to bum around for a good day. Simple pleasures of seining sand to find teeth would be great fun to me. My budget is strained enough just going down there for a week (about $4k turn key), so simple pleasures are plenty for me. The best way to get what you want is not to want too much. lol. That's what I teach my kids.

For all the bad things on the internet, the forum relationships that can develop are something new. It really didn't exist before. Not like this, it's more broad than finding a common interests (somehow) and corresponding via letters. But they got it done back in the day. It was more by chance and took much longer. Even travel has exponentially changed compared to Keith's day for example. Can you imagine driving out to "see" him in say 1955? Think of the cars, the roads?! At 75-80K miles the vehicle front ends were shot, the valvetrain, and crank bearings. When was the last time you fixed a flat yourself on the side of the road? LOL Life is short, but it seems you can pack more in these days if you are blessed with normal duration.
