Snow Birds 2015

Now that both of us are retired, Earl and I have made arrangements to spend January in Palm Coast, Florida and the month of February in Live Oak and Destin, Florida. This will be our first attempt at trying to cut short the winter months. We left January 2, 2015 and made it as far as Columbia, South Carolina the first day. The next day we finished the trip by 1:30 p.m. only to find that we could not get into our condo until after 4:00 p.m., which gave us plenty of time to explore the area.

Our condo is in the Surf Club I building right off of A1A. The area looks to be underdeveloped, probably because the beaches are loaded with coquina rock. There are two boardwalks stretching from our building to the beach, but none of them have a sandy area - just piles of rock in beautiful formations.

Fortunately we have a great view of the ocean off of our living room, master bedroom, and patio, and there is a public beach with sand one mile to the north of us at Marineland, FL. Now I understand why the price was right on this place. Our condo is very nice, though, and the area is very quiet. The weather here has been sunny and close to 80 degrees. It sure does not look like January. We will give it a try.
