Well sometimes there is not much to report from Foxtrot. However, since it is hump-day and you may need a diversion from whatever task is at hand at the moment, take a minute and be glad that you don’t operate the Boot Key Harbor Pump-out Boat. Yes, our fee at Boot Key Harbor includes one […]
By Lily Fuchs What I am doing today is I will interview Eric. Eric is the owner of El Milagro Beach Hotel & Marina. El Milagro was a shrimp factory before Eric bought it. He had to redesign the whole property. Eric is also a Realtor who lives and works in Santa Barbara, CA. He […]
Lily and I got a little bout of an illness this week so we didn’t really do much around the island. Randall kept saying he was pretty sure we had chikungunya. Since Chikungunya is mosquito-borne, I was pretty resolved to the likelihood of getting a little dose of it. While the virus can be lethal, […]
By Lily Fuchs We went on a sail with Cristina and her family to the other end of the island. Yesterday was our golf cart day. After that we went to some good places to see the water. We had to say good bye to Cristina yesterday too. We went to a turtle rescue there […]
El Milagro Marina also has a few rooms for rent and Lily played all day long with her new friend Christina. Her family had plans to walk down to the plaza for the Dia de los Muertos and we tagged along with them. Linda, Cantrell, Victor and Christina are from Tennessee and have vacationed on […]

However, Randall and Lily have also been taking time to read an old favorite of ours – Drawing On The Right Side of Your Brain by Betty Edwards. Randall and I […]
Near Redding, we stopped at a California Visitors’ Center and picked up literature on Yosemite. I dutifully read the 75-page magazine which covered the highlights and even broke thinks up into the perfect 1-, 3- or 5-day Yosemite vacation. Yes, Yosemite is best tackled with a general plan in mind. Despite this last minute attempt […]
We are now just wasting time here in Portland. We have been encamped here waiting to sign some paperwork related to a property sale. Every morning, we get a call or email assuring us that everything looks like a go for the next day. Every afternoon, we get a call saying there is one more […]
On the way out of Seattle earlier this week, we stopped at Wal-Mart to take a look at bikes. Lily did so good on the 22 miler that we decided to upgrade her bike and start planning the 32 miler. She found this sky blue beauty and has been peddling around Milo McIver State Park, […]
