Naples Florida - Aug 2017 - My Annual Southern Pilgrimage Begins – Chapter 1

As has been for the past three years, in August I house/pet sit in Naples Florida for a couple weeks, return to my home, repack, and make my way to Vieques Puerto Rico.  This year is no different.

Arriving late in the evening, I joined Jim and Cynthia for dinner.  We renewed our friendship, and enjoyed reminiscing our significant events of the past year.  While much had changed in our lives, many things remained the same, and we shared most of it.

So without further adduce, let’s GO!!!

Places in and around Naples that I've visited over the past few years

Tuesday Traveler - Florida Lighthouse Tour – Chapter 2 – Key West Lighthouse

As some of you know, I started my Florida Lighthouse Tour earlier this year.  It started with the lights in the Florida Panhandle and a few weeks ago I took at trip to Key West.  While there are many lighthouses throughout the Florida Keys, eight of them, I only went to the one located on the island (key) of Key West (Key West Lighthouse and Museum).



Even though our primary trip to Key West was for some relaxation and exploring, the number one thing on my list was the lighthouse.  So 'Let's Go' to the lighthouse and the town of Key West Florida.

MISSISSIPPI - Day Trip 2 - Destination Nowhere - Jan/Feb 2017

I've been here in Pass Christian MS for almost six weeks and about to start my journey home.  After a stop in Louisiana to visit friends for Mardi Gras, I'll make a stop in north Florida.  I'll stop at a lighthouse that time didn't permit seeing on my way.

Most of my time here in The Pas was spent golfing, eating, talking with locals, and sight seeing.  This posting is going to cover several towns, attractions, and eateries.  Like my previous post, these are in no special order, just places for you to consider when you make your way to the Mississippi Gulf Coast.

The first thing I want to discuss is the amazing sculptures that can be found along Highway 90, the Gulf Coast 'Beach Road'.  These sculptures are what remains of trees otherwise destroyed by Hurricane Katrina.

MISSISSIPPI - Day Trip 1- Pass Christian - Jan/Feb 2017

Well, I’m a few weeks into another house/pet sitting assignment, this one is along the Gulf Coast (Gulf of Mexico) area of Mississippi (MS).  The coastline is dotted with several medium to small towns, some of them can even be considered villages; one such town is where I’m staying, Pass Christian.  As my time here continues we’ll be taking other day trips to some of the nearby surrounding towns.

Let’s GO
