Maybe, but only the shitty stuff until I introduced you to Jura, Caol Ila and Tormore.

Indeed... and I still savor the taste and smell of that smokey bog on my palate.

I actually liked the Florida House, even staying in the attic with 4 or was it 5 other folks. Maybe it's just that I have low standards after living in military quarters for so many years.

Of course, the company made it all worthwhile and I would do it again tomorrow!
We did have fun...I liked the jacuzzi in the attic bath...the company is what made the whole thing a blast...hopefully we can do it again...Unka Beal?

As for food, the WH at 4am was really great (actually I can't remember the food...we were laughing too hard...)

No wonder Al didn't enjoy the Florida House....you didn't invite him to jacuzzi time.

Glad I brought my favorite plaything with me.

I shudder at the thought of Music and G8R sharing a hottub at 3am!

The nice thing is you can let the air out of "her", fold her back up, and pack her back in your suitcase when vacation's over.

Unlike what a Waskel and a Weaser would find in a Dark Bar, mine is real and would not take kindly to being folded into a suitcase

The rooms weren't that small.
It's not like I stepped on Waskel's leg more than just once.

No, Al was not there...and neither was DB...
However, the attic room was happening...kinda like a College Dormitory...

Florida house had unrealized potential. Maybe this time around they will get it right.

....meaning, of course, the likes of us will not be welcome.

Bingo. Joe was a great guy. Who the hell am I to say, but I would have prioritized my spending a little differently. For example ...

The scooters were a nice touch. But the money spent on them could have bought new mattresses and a fresh coat of paint.

The 5 Samsung LCD screens in the bar were nice but maybe overkill. Could have done with 3 and used the other money to fix the fountain and landscape the back garden.

Anyway, it was home for a few really good vacations and it's nice to see that it's coming back. Hopefully will carry forward all the good karma, invest in the right places to fix it up, and be sucessful moving forward.
