Lather, Rinse, Repeat on Vacation
Florida Trip Travelog #11
Chillin' at the hotel - Sat, 24 Sep 2022, 10:30pm
It's been sort of a "Lather, rinse, repeat" day on vacation today. Like yesterday, we began the day with a trip to the pools when they first opened at 9am. I did several runs on the water slides before it was time to walk through the mangrove forest (aka swamp) to the pier to ride the 9:45am boat out to the beach at Big Hickory Island. We stayed at the beach until just after noon, then ferried back to the hotel for lunch, then went to the slides and lazy river.
One thing different from yesterday is that we didn't go out hunting other beaches. We stayed longer at the lazy river and water slides. By the time we got back to the room after 3 we were pretty tired.
Another difference is no fancy dinner tonight. But hey, we don't expect fancy dinners every night.
This has been our last full day here. Tomorrow Hawk flies home and I drive to Orlando (3.5 hours away) for a conference that starts Tuesday. But just because tomorrow's a travel day doesn't stop us from enjoying the pools a bit more. We plan on packing in the morning, cramming in as much time as we can at the water slides and lazy river, and then cleaning and checking out. Hawk's flight isn't 'til after 4:30pm, so we could easily stay at the hotel until 1pm— if they let us.
