About Me

My Photo
Name:
Location: Amelia Island, Florida, United States

I created this blog for a couple of reasons. In keeping a commitment that I made to myself, I have been walking at least thirty minutes every day since the first of the year. On these walks, I get to stroll through what I think is one of the most charming towns on earth. On every walk, I see at least 10 things that make me smile. I intend to show you a photo of one of those things (person, place, animal, flora, house, event or scene) so that you can enjoy our town right along with me. The second reason is so that you can keep tabs on my commitment to myself. I pledge to put a photo from the CURRENT day's walk on this blog every day. My goal is to begin running in about another month, so it could get tricky taking the camera along but I'll be thrilled to cross that bridge when I waddle over it. So....... no excuses. I invite you to keep tabs on me and to enjoy my little town of Fernandina Beach on Amelia Island, Florida right along with me. I turned 49 today. This is my "before " photo. You'll see me again when I turn 50 - February 1, 2008. I hope you'll enjoy the journey with me.

We're now sold out for Christmas, but we've still got good availability for our Thanksgiving Holiday Packages. Take a look. Why not let us do the work while you enjoy the holiday this year?

Now that the (much needed) rains from Ernesto are gone, is safe to come out and play. We've still (as of 4:45pm Thursday) got a few rooms available for this weekend. The weather should be great! Come join us.

If your life schedule is not tied up with the "back-to-school" crowd, now is the time to come to Amelia Island. The kids around here go back to school this Monday, and many parents of school-age kids are too busy to travel right now. As a result, we've got great rates and great availability for the remainder of August through Labor Day. Romance Package sale rates are listed on our website.

Special offer #1: If you book BY AUGUST 10TH FOR LABOR DAY WEEKEND, WE WILL OFFER YOU SALE RATES ON OUR ROMANCE PACKAGES (THREE OR MORE NIGHTS). Full rates generally apply on holiday weekends and special events. Mention this blog to receive the sale rate.

Special offer #2: Girls' Packages booked for three or more August nights will get weekday pricing for all three nights. Again, mention this blog to get the rate.

Take advantage of our quiet beaches, romantic restaurants and peaceful sunsets now that it's "adult swim" time on Amelia Island.
