Every time I have been to Florida I have seen flamingos and alligators. They are everywhere. There are even people who put pink plastic flamingos in their yards as decoration. Now that I think of it, outside of Florida, I have never seen a flamingo in anyone’s yard.

Yes just like a lot of other people, I’ll be traveling for the holidays.  My old luggage has just about had it so I think I’ll check out some new Samsonite luggage. I have had Samsonite luggage since I was a little girl going back and forth to my grandparents each summer.  In fact, I still have the make-up bag piece to the original luggage I had.  Samsonite is the best if you ask me.

I decided to head to the beach for the end of the beach season since this is Labor Day weekend and boy was I surprised.  There were so many openings in the motels that rooms that are usually about $100 a night were just $50 a night.  There’s not nearly as many people down here as usual.  I guess it’s just another sign of the lousy economy.

One of the things I enjoy the most in the summer is taking my motor home where ever I please.   I have a little scooter on the back of it so I can putt around town but I think I need new motorhome insurance because mine is about to need to be renewed.  I want to really check them out to see if I can get good coverage at a better price.

I am not a winter person so I always plan a winter vacation.  My favorite site to plan that is cheap destin vacations because I seem to find the best rates and deals on there.  I love Florida in the dead of winter because it’s not too hot or too cold.  It’s just right like Goldilocks would say.
