A Great Florida Town to Visit

January 25th, 2010

Coming from Florida, I am pretty familiar with almost every town there.  I’ve swam and fished in many different parts of the ocean, on the east coast and the west coast.  I can say with all honesty that a town called Destin is one of the prettiest places in Florida.  It’s not your place for camping but just the opposite.  The destin condos are opulent and lush, the water is sparkling blue and emerald, and the nightlife and shopping make this a really nice place to visit for a vacation or even just a weekend.  Many towns on the beach like to advertise that their place is the best.  But as a former Floridian I can express the personal opinion that it does not get much better than Destin.

Age Spots Are Not Welcome Here

March 30th, 2009

No matter what we do there is no way to prevent age spots nor wrinkles as we age.  There is a way to remove these effects from our bodies which would require some form of microdermabrasion or laser treatments.  Last year during the viewing for my Mother’s funeral I saw a lady that I had not seen for over 30 years, a friend and ex-neighbor of my family.  The amount of age spots that she had on her face and upper chest were numerous and all you could see were those spots.  I seem to recall that she was a sun worshipper as she was always very tanned (we lived in Florida at the time).  But on the other hand, my Mother had once spent a lot of time doing picking in the field, before she went back to High School and received her diploma.  And she had very little age spots except on her hands, but even there they were not large or numerous.  My Mother got very dark from working out in the sun and even 30 years afterwards still had held onto this darker coloring (we are Caucasian).    Age spots and wrinkles are a part of life, but not one that people have to put up, if they can afford to visit a dermatologist.  A laser can easily remove these age spots, but I am not sure of the cost nor whether or not medical insurance would cover it.  I somehow doubt that it would.  Get more information on this subject at Healthy Skin Portal dot com.

Arrange your hotel rooms in advance and take your pet!

March 28th, 2009

Last year when I had to visit Florida for an extended period of time I stayed in a Choice Motel.  Because we took the entire family and we had a dog we were put into one of their dog rooms.  This room was in horrible condition and stunk.  The counter in the bathroom on the underside was swollen from being wet and was chipping off.  The carpet was stained, the glass windows were blurry, and even though it was a pet room we were not allowed to smoke inside of it.  But perhaps the Dallas Texas hotels are not this bad.  I would assume not since this is a much bigger town and they probably have a lot more traffic than the town that we were in.  Visit the Choice Hotels International site to look for a motel/hotel where you are visiting or just passing through on your way somewhere.
