Really enjoying your TR Amy - love the shirts and scarfs. Hope that you can find a place that you might feel more comfortable staying at, I also start to get a little concerned when I read certain reviews...one or two I feel ok not everyone is going to have the same feelings but then there are those that just make you wonder....

So of course, I went shopping some more for the trip...QVC was having another Today's Special that I (not mom) couldn't pass up. I have a pair of Sunglasses and they are ok, but they are ready to go on to a better place and well I just was having a tough time finding a pair that I just HAD to have enough to ditch the half broken ones I have been using.

Well the Today's Special was a pair of Sunglasses that were Physician Endorsed and came with a carry case, well I JUST HAD to HAVE the Equestrian named pair. I thought they just had that Thelma/Louise/Jackie O look and very FAB and Chic!

So I bought them and have to send them a check so hopefully I have them for the trip but I have about a month to go!

My New Sunglasses....



Well, now we have the shirts, the scarves, I have new Sunglasses and mom has her recently purchased ones that aren't as scratched and broken like the ones I'm replacing so she is set!

I also could NOT.. see spending the price we were paying for the hotel we booked and hearing and reading reviews just make it more solid that I was not going to be staying there. So I had to research FAST for a new Hotel.

Well, I looked and looked and I even contemplated not going to Sanibel or Ft. Myers but maybe going to Naples instead but after looking and really thinking about it I just wanted to be near or on Sanibel Island we could possibly drive down to Naples for the day but I wanted to be closer to Sanibel.

So I started to look in the Ft. Myers Beach area, and then remembered that there was a hotel, right before the bridge to Sanibel that I remember seeing on our trip last year. I had no idea the name of it, but I did have google Earth ( By the way if you don't have google Earth please try it, I spend hours sometimes just playing around on there and its amazing!) so I zoomed in on Sanibel, and followed the road out and AHA!!! I found it!! Eureka its a Country Inn and Suites.

So I jumped onto the web, and they were running a special for Florida Residents! Being able to use our Residency for a discount was awesome!!! Now mind you, we are going over 4th of July so I was expecting them to say the special was like $200 a night or something crazy like that.

Well color me shocked when it came back with a special that included...A hot continental breakfast (with omlets, french toast, pancakes etc too), $6 a day for tolls over to Sanibel, and a 1 bedroom Suite with small kitchen area, for *drumroll please* ok so I had to bring in the whole band for this one it was such a rocking good Deal! $79 a night!!! GO FLORIDA Discounts LOL. I'm never moving...ok I won't say never but it'd be hard to give up the specials we get we are truely blessed in some ways.

So we are going to stay there, saves us on breakfast costs, toll costs, we will see the Sanibel Causeway and the inlet hopefully and they have a pool so thats all we need really! Plus with a suite we will have a lot more room to spread out!

So to Recap as I know my changes can lead to confusion and I haven't even passed out and Frosty Adult Beverages yet so I can't blame the FAB's for the Confuzzleness.

When: June 28th to July 4th
Where: Sanibel Island/Ft. Myers FL.
Resort: Country Inn and Suites
Why: Summer Vacation
Who: Amy, and Angela (Amy's Mom) aka Thelma and Louise Minus the Crime but add the Fashion!

So with only about a month and a few days to go, I might just have to really buckle down and get going with what we want to see, and find places to eat other then the Bubble Room. Then I have to start the task of Packing! EEK!

Until my Next update my friends!
