That lunch looked absolutely delicious!
It really was beautiful and I think we eventually did rank it as our favourite meal of the trip.....

Loved your beach trip report! And, yes, hushpuppies are great! Only in the South is where you can find the real southern hushpuppies. We lived in Tennessee for years and I absolutely loved those hushpuppies and catfish dinners. Yum! But the really good ones can only be found in the South
That little place looks amazing!!! I might have to put that on a possible to do list of places to visit - especially if we end up testing positive before heading home and have to spend and extra 10 days in Florida to quarantine. I guess if we HAVE TO quarantine....It would be absolutely horrible to have to quarantine there
Dh is bringing his lap top, as he is able to work remotely. I don't know how much actual " work" he would get to do...but I sure wouldn't care. I have over 4 weeks of holidays unused, plus another 3 that I get this year. I told my manager to be prepared to do the basic part of my job for 20+ days in case this happens.
I also have a healthy respect for the creatures with sharp teeth!!!!
Thank you, we love New Smyrna Beach and that restaurant is simply the best!
Yes, I didn`t realise it was a Southern thing till after we tried them......I`m still not sure why I avoided them, not sure what I thought they might be......lol.......I avoided brandy snaps till I was about 30 as I thought they tasted of brandy.....true story!!
I`ll bet you miss those original dishes where you are now........
Well I’ll have to add the key lime pie as a must do this summer. Plan to head head JB’s multiple times this summer.It was quite honestly, exceptional. And immediately elevated to being the nicest Key Lime pie we had ever eaten. I wished we had one each.......but my tummy would be grateful I hadn`t eaten a full one.
Yes, we do miss that good ole Southern food But my brother still lives there and we visit when we can. We also have good friends there to visit too. But I do miss the South, especially their warmer weather, LOL>

Well first I must say I am shocked you aren't fluent in Aramaic. I guess education isn't what it used to be...
Your lunch looked amazing! You could tell just visually that it was going to be a symphony of flavor. Nice choices all around! But that large wine...I'm surprised they offer that with a straight face.
I love you had some quiet time in NSB and were able to walk on that beautiful beach. I've never been but now I think it's calling my name
I am so sorry you went through all that craziness around the testing to go home. That is kind of ridiculous to not have any adjustment period for people to learn the rules before you expect them to follow them. Thank goodness you were able to relax at Strong Water! Every drink you share here seems to be a creative concoction anyone would enjoy. I can't say that I'm interested in trying goat, but good on you for being adventurous!
I am just loving how hot your trip was. What a wonderful memory to warm up a cold winter day. It's 12 degrees right now for me

I love the photo of you wading at the beach - just a lovely shot of you!
I can only imagine the level of stress you must have felt, especially trying to arrange just the right kind of test at just the right time. Our turnaround time for PCR testing is horrible right now - should be 24 hours but taking 4-5 days. Very stressful if you need it in a hurry. I have completely scrapped my idea of flying to California this summer because of the possibility of testing stress, etc. I'll just wait until things settle down a bit, I guess.
Loving all your updates!
That does feel a bit like 'dirty pool' doesn't it, changing the rules on you mid trip. I think I'd feel the same ... that I should have to adhere to the rules in place when I left and not have to worry about them changing whilst away, but hey ho what about covid has been fair. I suppose we can't blame governments for continually reacting and adjusting as they feel needed but sheesh, we just want to have a stress-free holiday! I'd have been right beside you tapping furiously on my laptop and downing the red wine lol ... probably would have suggested we shift the operation to the bar, ha! I have to say that NSB fish restaurant looks delicious. Could do with that lovely weather too ... is currently -13C here in Ontario and that's an improvement!
I purposely hadn't read anything about Hagrid's before going, to avoid spoilers and although I was fine with the relaxed mask policy everywhere since we were triple vaxxed, those low queue hallways did give me pause - as they were jam packed during regular hours with everyone laughing, talking, yelling. It was the only time that trip I felt compelled to mask up for a bit.if you are a little disturbed by enclosed spaced, the low corridors at some points may not be comfortable for you. It`s just ok for me, but it does feel quite enclosed for a little part.
Sounds like my husband's glass - you could go snorkeling in the darn thing. But it allows him to truthfully claim he limits himself to "just one glass".We always laugh at what some places offer as a large wine.....nah, come to our house and we`ll show you what a large glass of wine is!!
