Relaxing at the beach, Radisson Beach Resort style

Not much to say... We looked at the weather map, and planned our most recent trip based on our quest to find the sunniest, warmest spot in the Southeast.  That happened to be Marco Island.  (Besides, we got a great Hotwire deal at a hotel right ON the beach.) So we've spent the last two days laying and walking on the beach here, enjoying the beautiful weather.  There's tons of shells on the beach, but we've been roughing it without sandals - trying to toughen up our feet for many days of barefoot walking in our life of leisure.  You've got to have goals for yourself, right?  A reason to get out of bed? 

Sorry no photos for a while.  We haven't stayed anywhere with internet access in a long time, so it's been updates via coffee shops for us.  We should be able to add some soon enough, for those interested in seeing how many beach and sunset photos one couple can take over a two week period.

Planning our next steps now.  We're going to take a tour of the Everglades National Park in the next couple of days... Scott really wants to take an airboat ride and maybe wrestle (rassle?) an alligator or two.  Then we're hoping to drive up to Pine Island to visit our friends Lenny & Tina, along with their two youngsters Isabella (3 yrs old?) and Abigail (4 months).  Looks like we're going to have to suffer a week or two of temps back in the 60's, as we wend our way through the Gulf Coast states of Alabama, Mississippi, and Louisiana until we can make our way back south into Mexico.  It'll be okay though, don't feel too bad for us.
