Searchin’ for my lost shaker of salt.
Excuse me. Here’s today’s Wondering:
Personally, I’ve done A more times than I can count, lived in B and don’t desire to go back, have nothing interesting in C personally, but I’m torn between D and E. On one hand, it’s hard to top Fort Myers and Sanibel Island, and you’ve got the Everglades in there and West Palm and Miami.
But if I had to pick, I’d head back to E and just spend the two weeks in Key West.
Hemingway, historic downtown Key West, six toed cats, reliving Running Scared, living it up in Margaritaville proper. I think I could spend a proper two weeks there.
How about you? Where would you visit if you had the choice based on the Twix above?
A, as in 30A!
Spent lots of time in A as well. My dad’s two brothers and sister all retired down at Vero Beach and we have started going there every year for the Fourth. I like it a lot, but like you would choose between D and E.
Do the paid expenses include a 47′ Buddy Davis to fish off of for the duration on the trip? If so, I’d likely choose D for West Palm Beach during sailfish season. The Keys (E) during tarpon season would be a close second.
Any of them, please just get me the hell out of Atlanta and away from my job for two weeks, two years, two decades, whatever!!
If forced to pick, I’d say A I guess, but seriously, any of them would work!!
B or D depending on what’s included.
As some of you may know, my family are big theme park people. If my family could stay at the Four Seasons at WDW or one of the top end Disney resorts and we didn’t have to go in summer, I vote for B.
If this was just my wife and I get access to any golf course I want, give me the beach at the Four Seasons at Palm Beach with rounds at Seminole, PGA National, the Bear Club, Medalist, and others in the Jupiter/Boca area. I vote for D.
D also for the west coast with the Ritz at Naples, the golf at Tiberon and others, and the beautiful water of the Gulf.
A for 30A, Amelia/Fernandina, and Ponte Vedra.
C for the beaches of Sarasota, Anna Maria, and Clearwater.
E for the relaxation of the Keys and the stone crab and Cuban food of Miami.
You really can’t go wrong with any of them. Other than Hogtown, the state of Florida is pretty damn awesome for a visitor.
Anna Maria. +100
Living well in D on Singer Island most of the year. Closest access to the Gulfstream’s warm water fishing and diving. Great restaurants with mostly easy traffic.
I live down here in D. D stands for Damn Big Mosquitoes lately. Go to the Keys. Where there’s always a breeze and a buzz. The good kind of buzz.
All expenses paid probably D on the Gulf. Expect to be moving to A in the next 3-5 years Atlantic coast. Ugh…
E. Originally from Homestead, spent a lot of time in the Keys over the decades.
B for Kennedy Space Center and Cape Canaveral, or E for the Keys.
Better make it E since the moon landing was fake.
Post of the day!
All expenses has me tempted to try E gulf but my favorite beaches are B or south A Atlantic. Also further south you are in FL further north you go. More of a packed sand fan than the gulf sugar sand
Grew up in C and the Tampa Bay Area is my wheelhouse.
E. Keys in a house on the water with my boat. In 2020 we spent 2 weeks in marathon with the boat. We lived on the water, snorkeling, fishing, sand bars and going to restaurants by boat. Loved it. Fresh dolphin, tuna or snapper every day.
Oh my God, you ate flipper? (Sorry, my phone doesn’t have a sarcasm font.)
I have lived in A the last forty years. Time to get away. I would go for E. I was born in Key West and would enjoy going back.
Favorite Key West bumper sticker.
If it’s tourist season why can’t I shoot them officer?
Just spent a few days in Key West. Maybe the only place in Florida I will ever return.
February — “B” (Daytona race week/bike week)
March — “D” (Ft Lauderdale Adult Spring Break)
All else — “A West” (FloraBama forever)

You could take a saw from Amelia Island and cut to Alligator Point kick the rest off into the ocean and leave more than necessary.
The Keys would be the exception. New Orleans and Key West are two places I’ve been where you’re surprised that you didn’t need to go through Customs.
As far as Disney and the adults who go there:

We owned property along 30A but it has become unbearably over crowed during spring break and tourist season. We spent Thanksgiving week on Sanibel for years but going back after the hurricane was heart breaking with so much property destroyed, particularly Bailey’s General Store. I would pick E.
Was born in A and still have a lot of family there. Haven’t been there for any reason since 2013, and honestly have no desire to go back. Or anywhere south of there. Key West seems magical, but I think getting there would take all the fun out of it.
