Do you happen to use Facebook?  It’s been around for quite some time, but the fact is that us older folks haven’t been doing it that long.  The kids go to school and learn computers from the beginning now, but people in their 50’s have not all been too familiar with their computers and these online communities.  There are so many social networks that it’s impossible to keep track of them all.  Such as Twitter.  I’m listed on it but never saw much use for it.  Mostly I have been interested in playing the FB games such as Farm Town, Farmville and Cafe World.  I played a few others but mostly have settled down to those three, and lately I have been fooling around working on this computer, so I haven’t been on much in the past three days.  What does surprise me is that I don’t really miss it so much.

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.

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.
