William and I had a nice respite from Naples this week, simply by driving over to the east coast of Florida. The difference between the two coasts is a bit of a shock, and I sometimes joke that we need our passports before venturing across the "Alligator Alley" as that portion of I-75 South is known. We stayed in the TerraMar area behind the new "W" hotel, and visited Miami as well. We paid our second visit to the fab Bonnet House Museum and Gardens, had some great meals, and I had a delightful morning walk into one of my fave Ft Laud neighborhoods, called "Idlewyld" - along the Intracoastal Waterway off Las Olas. We enjoyed meeting artist Kent Planck, our guide at Bonnet House - (see my earlier post on Bonnet House) and seeing old friends in North Miami at Magnum Lounge, Jeffrey, Luis, Scott, Terry, Carol, and Bill... All in all it was a great trip, and I enjoyed every minute ! DF***** www.bluemoonfishco.com
