Looks like you were all having a great time! I've loved looking at all the pictures of Vero Beach - I've wondered what it was look. It looks wonderful!!
Hey Ellen! I'm here and I've just caught up on this latest trip report. What an awesome trip!! It's great to see that you were able to spend some quality adult time with Pods, Lonnie and Mike. You should have named this trip report "Snoozing and Boozing!"
Elizabeth and I used to own a timeshare in Sebastian, FL, which is about 10 miles North of Vero. We LOVED that area of "old-style" Florida. We spent a day at Vero Beach back in 2005 and loved it. I think the Disney resort had either just opened or was in construction. We both commented that we would love to go there sometime.
The food at Shutter's looked great! I'm all about that seared tuna. Those crab cake sliders at lunch on the first day looked great also.
Pods and I definitely have a lot in common: golf, beer, sports, vodka, and naps. nice! Just add hot dogs and classic rock and you've pretty much described me.
Looking forward to the rest of the trip report! Wonderful pictures as always. That sunrise is breathtaking.

Ellen:
More great updates and I can't see a single picture. Drat. It sounds like you had an awesome day!
My DS and I played tennis at VB and had a blast. If you think you sweat a lot riding bikes or running, try playing tennis. I had to stop and take a water break, say, every two minutes. It was exhausting. Made me definately feel my age.
Hi Ellen,
I found your trippie over on Cammie's thread. Love it so far!! Can't wait to read more.
Signing on, love your TR's!!!
Love the updates. It's great to read about other Disney destinations. Gives me more places to dream about visiting.
Happy me!!! I just booked 5 nights at AKV Concierge for another F&W Golf trip with Pods!!!! (aka- the Snoozin & Boozin tour!) Sept 24 to 29th- I was going to book BCV, but checked AKV concierge first and it was available, so WOO-HOO!!!!!!!!!!! DH has never stayed there before and I think he liked the sound of FREE BEER that goes with the room! So I wanted to try to get it for him. Well....and for me! I guess I asked if he wanted to go at just the right time- he's headed to the World Series tonight!!! SOOOOOOOOOOOOO EXCITING!!!! Sure hope those yankees play a whole lot BETTER this game!! I'd hate to cancel the trip!!
I had so many comments to make but forgot most of them after catching up. Um, let's see.... nice to see Lonnie is still wearing her emergency crocs she bought at Epcot during our DISmoms trip! Although I don't much care for her Gators shirt - in fact, I would be forced to spill something on it if we were together. Lonnie, thank you for not disgracing our group back in May by wearing orange and blue!
I never realized the VB was right on the beach! I thought it was more like HHI. Hmmm.... may have to consider that!
Love your report, Ellen. It seems that we NEVER talk anymore, so it's nice to "read" your voice!!!! Seriously, you definitely have a gift....great pictures, descriptions, etc. Can't wait to read more! So get this done before you go on vacation AGAIN in the land where there is always happy music playing (a little jealousy there!).
Hi Ellen !! Another great update !!! Going in September are you!!!?? I am once agin planning my 2010 trip as my Grannies trip feel thru due to unexpected stuff !! We ae stil hoping to do a trip together in th future though !!! So now I have to refigure wht I am doing and I ha decided I wil call Disney tomorrow and throw a wholelot of dates at them and take it from there !!
I don't want to think how short I would be next to Lonnie. I'm 5'3" on a good day. Nothing beats a good bottle of wine--okay well maybe two bottlesThe scallops look awesome!
NICE!!! Now THAT'S what I'm talking about! Congratulations!
What? I go away for a weekend and you have a whole TR done already?
I'm all caught up now!
I love your take on VB!!!! Looks fantastic. Now I'm almost sorry I booked that cold pacific DCL cruise with our points instead of VB like I planned
Your bike ride looks really fun - congrats for sticking it out - you deserve the tangerine slushy for sure!
Now about the wine with dinner (dinner looks yummo by the way) you did pretty well, except the last pic - Lonnie looks like she's havin' way too much fun!
Congrats on the AKV ressie! Okay, you may proceed now.
Hey! How was the weekend? And I am not even close to being done- we haven't even gotten to OKW yet!! You're doing a pacific coast DCL??? Which one? I am VERY jealous!! LOVE DCL- have you seen the DREAM info that was just released?? HOLY crap- I HAVE to go on that ship!
It was great! We had an Arbonne retreat at the Oregon Coast - mostly nice and Sunny, which is kind of unusual We had a beautiful house with great ocean views right across the street from the beach. Now I'm back in Oregon and my hubby is still in Idaho for about 11 more days, 6 hrs, 23 min....whose counting?
We booked the LA-Vancouver repo for Apr 2011. It won't be tropical, but I'm still excited to be on DCL! We wanted something different to do with our points - I guess that is
THE DREAM!!!! OMG! I can't believe that ship!!!! That is definately a must do! Even an inside cabin has the "ocean view" That water coaster is crazy and I love the Secret Garden restaurant - reminds me of Tinkerbell!
Those scallops look AMAZING!!!!!!!! Wow! Really, really yummy! Your whole dinner at Sonya's sounds so fun. to the wine to the Green Cabin and more drinks!
