[Long Cut]

God blessed me the day I met Mrs. Cut. Thanks for the wishes!

Ever spent any time down St. Augustine way? Beautiful beaches, great food and fun, and wholly conservative. My favorite part of Florida is that streetch of A1A along between Jax and Daytona.

Mrs. Cut and I loved driving that stretch, T-roof open, just smelling the sea and soaking up the sun. If there's one place I'd love to retire to, that's it.

Of course, I have yet to explore Florida's Western coast. Has anyone any gouge about what's good out there?

Have been to St. Augustine 2ce - it is definitely beautiful up that way. Clearwater Beach and Tarpon Springs are two of my favorite gulf coast spots. Best Greek Food in the world in Tarpon Springs as this is where the Greek sponge divers and shrimpers have settled.

.45MAN and I lived in Sebastian - population 15,000 - nestled in between Vero Beach and Melbourne on the east coast. 30 minutes north to Cocoa Beach and a little further to Cape Canaveral. A1A is a beautiful ride no matter where you are in FL. In Palm Beach County, it gives you the best views of the oceanfront mansions. Further north, where the beach is protected, you can just pull off the road, walk through the scrub palms and sea grape plants and go swimming.

Sounds like we are both homesick!

Got to get ready for w-o-r-k (ugh!) - will check back in later.

That would be the Palm Coast area. Beautiful area, we have some friends who have a condo there on the International Coastal Waterway that let us stay there in the past. Perfect place to retire!

Didn't know you were in Iceland now, are the volcanos still active in that area?
