It's not bad, right off I75....but it's usually very crowded because of that. Also be forwarned, in winter season, you are looking at a minimum 35 minute ride and lotsa traffic heading to either the Naples beaches or Marco Island...

Does your daughter like wild animals? If so, Animal Kingdom Lodge is awesome...They have rooms looking out over the "Savannah" and you see all types of animals. AKL is also in the moderate price catagory for Disney. Quite honestly though, the rooms in all the resorts are excellent. Our fav...

I have XM and love it....my biggest gripe is that there is no keypad to go directly to the channel you want...There is a tropical music channel, however, Bubba gets played on several of the currently available stations...

I email them once a week requesting them to add RM as a channel!! :lol:

Hi PG

I'm doing fine. How bout you? 8)

John and I chatted about this a lot since we moved down.

In fact, the last card we sent to him was a manatee drawing from Mote Marine Aquarium here in Sarasota. We don't think he saw it though. :cry:

It's funny, thinking of him is what made me post!!
