leaving for VB tomorrow (Wed)

[July]

Good Morning All,

I am truly excited about our first trip to Vero. I have packed most everything except for last minute items. And groceries that we are taking. Will shop at Publix when we get settled in but, bringing some things.

Should I bring lounge chairs for the beach? Or use the rentals? If they are hourly it probably can get pretty pricey.

Is there a fitness room? Any charge for members?

Wednesday is member day at Vero I think, don't they have specialty drinks 1/2 price or something like that.

Long day at work today (Pharmacy). But I go for a hour massage tonight. I need to relax and get all the tension out of my body before leaving tomorrow.

Any suggestions or things not to miss, nows the time to let me know.

I'm leaving earlier than first expected, they gave me Wednesday off so I don't have to leave after work. Yipee

Since you're driving (from Lakeland - lucky you!) - I would definitely bring your own chairs! Are you going to drive over and pick up Hwy 60? I-4 is SO bad right now...

There "is" a fitness center, and there is no fee to use it. It's nothing spectacular - but it does the job.

One of our favorite places to eat in Vero is "The Patio Restaurant." They have a great early bird deal! http://www.veropatio.com

Bring something for the noseeums - they can be bad...

Have a WONDERFUL time!

The Tides? The two restaurants at the resort are Shutters (which it sounds like you did eat at) and Sonya's (the fancier restaurant). I think the Tides was an off-site restaurant you mentioned.

The snack bar by the pool is Bleachers.

July, have a great trip. I'd bring the chair since it says 2 chairs & an umbrella are $21 per day.

I'm up and ready, DH says he needs more sleep I guess I should let him sleep since he's driving. I'm just to excited to go back to sleep

I will report back and let everyone know how we liked the resort, but I'm sure I will LOVE it.

Beth; I've heard skin so soft by Avon is good for noseeums. I hope so. I'm taking some. If not I will go buy so yucky OFF. The Patio Restaurant you mentioned looks neat we may try it. But I am planning on cooking most of our meals. I love to cook and have so little energy to do it right during the week because I'm so tired from work. Then on weekends I work part time so we again use short cuts. Looking forward to relaxing and having time to cook some healthy meals.

pmcpmc; I just may try that slide, if I see enough Adults using it. It looks like fun. I've heard the massage thearpy at Vero is the best. But I just had one last night. I go 1 or 2 times a month depending how aching I feel. DH may just have a cow if I had another

PamOKW; I have had to really talk the talk to convince DH to take chairs. He says I'm on vacation I do not want to lug them things down to the beach everyday. LOL (He's giving in)
Member discounts in the green room $1.00 off specialty drinks, just might be a good place to have an afternoon drink while waiting for the room.

See Ya
