We went on the FILP trip in Hollywood, FL. What a great time!
This hotel is not fancy in any way. However it was great to not have to wear clothes from Thurs - Mon and hang out with great friends. I really liked the small crowd compared to the WWWW trip. A lot of time to talk to folks that we did not know so well from the big trip.
Great to see our MD/DC/VA friends again. WE MISS YOU!!
We had excellent weather the entire trip. The hotel sits between the Intercostal waterway and the sea so the views were nice. There was an air show North of the beach so we did see some plane tricks. Just watching the yachts go by was very entertaining for me.
The meal plan idea was the best! Towels were cool and are now prized possessions. And Jim has perfected his jug...however I did not dare to partake in the jug on Sunday where all leftover alcohol was mixed. It was green and I hope that Jim kept the recipe for his and Nissa's next St. Patrick's Day gathering.
Off campus our best meal was right across the street. We had great sushi and enjoyed watching the boats go by while we ate.
We were on the 2nd floor and it was funny to wake up and see all of the pool toys there. It seems that some folks took up "spearfishing" to hit those enjoying the hot tub from the roof (6th floor). Also ran into a few people that found the toys on the road outside the hotel. And I will never look at Twizzlers the same way again!
Thanks to all that made this get away great. And because of you, Steve and I are now considering a shortened version of WWWW. We should know in a week or two if we can do it.
XXOO,
Sabrina
