Jimmy Buffet's Margaritaville hotel set to open in Florida this summer {Gadling}
May 28th 2010 5:03PM I'm a long time Jimmy Buffet fan, but his new hotel is way over priced. Pensacola Beach is beautiful, I know because I live here. But shop around before you make any reservations. We need the tourists and have a lot of great vacation deals out there, but there's no point in charging outrageous prices just because of the Jimmy Buffet name.
Are We Trying To Turn Our Dogs Into Humans? {Pawnation OLD}
Feb 19th 2010 4:10PM Our dogs are our family. They were rescued as "pound puppies" from a kill-shelter. We have two dog doors and a huge fenced yard. Our dogs go in and out whenever they want. Do they want to sleep outside? No way. The preferred sleeping spot is right in the middle of our king-size bed. They get the best food and best medical care we can afford. When money is tight, we do without and our dogs get the best. What they give in return is unconditional, tail-wagging love.
10 tips for saving money on a Florida vacation {Gadling}
Feb 12th 2010 2:22PM What makes you think no one can get into your room if you rent a condo? The owner has keys, friends/family of the owner has keys, the management company, the cleaning woman, often former renters have keys. Duh! A thief is a thief. With a hotel or motel you have 24 hours security. You may or may not have that with a condo and you don't have it with a rental house, just 911 and hope they get there in time. Nope, I don't work for the hotel industry and never have. I'm just a Florida resident and a frequent traveler/tourist. Have you ever heard of first hand experience?
10 tips for saving money on a Florida vacation {Gadling}
Feb 11th 2010 9:31PM Think twice before deciding on renting a house or condo in Florida. They are not inspected by the state's health department, whereas hotels and motels are inspected. There are no regulations with rental houses and condos, so you might find yourself sleeping with fleas, bedbugs or worse. Think of it as renting from a total stranger. You may luck out and find something nice to rent, or your dream vacation may turn into a nightmare. Hotels and motels are your safest bet. In Florida there are thousands of them and in every price range. Many have two and three bedroom suites with full kitchens and prices comparable or better than houses and condos. Do your homework before you put your money down. Never get a rental that requires full payment up front with no refunds. Rental scams are big in Florida, I know, because I live here. As they say, "When going on vacation use common sense, don't leave home without it." On the other hand, Florida is a beautiful state with lots to see. So come on down for a vacation you'll never forget.
Bobby Knight Denies Shooting at House, Doesn't Appreciate Swearing and Cussing {Fanhouse NCAA Basketball Blog}
Nov 30th 2007 3:44PM I understand the problem with hunters shooting near a person's house. I live in Texas & with deer season that's a definite problem. The other morning there were hunters shooting not 50 feet away from where my dogs were playing in the yard. That is too close to my dogs & too close to my house. Hunters need to be more considerate of where they hunt.
