Happy St Paddy's Day Kathy and Mark!!!

 

[Janet B]

Kathy
First, I want to wish Andy the best of luck on the teaching job!! Having the coaches personally recommend Andy is a huge plus. Andy just needs to get an interview and then he can sell himself. He will be such an asset to the school. Keeping fingers crossed for him.

Now to the Food – your ADRs look fabulous! A few places I have yet to try – Yak & Yeti for one. I have never been able to pull myself away from Flame Tree BBQ. Love your breakfast meals – and I know how much you are looking forward to your CP meal with Mary & family.

Awww, the 4 of you are going to have such great fun! Lots of hanging out, pool time, dinners at some superb sounding places... I'm just so tickled that you can have this little break with people you love.

 

[KatMark]

Thanks, Rosie.

Janet, thanks for the text message late yesterday afternoon (I was on the train when it came through).

We love Flame Tree too and it was closed last year when we were there so this was a hard decision; but we'll get back to FT next trip. I can't wait to breakfast with Mary and the urchins.

It's going to be a blast; and I still can't believe I'll see them twice in one year.

 

[smileycrissy]

I tried to post this so I apologize if it does appear twice but I wanted to wish Andy good luck.

LOL, love all the Starbucks stops and hope you'll be able to squeeze in a few non-planned Starbucks stops. I totally understand about having it all the time, I get that way for the Holiday season when the red cups come out. I don't know why but as soon as I see the red cups, I want a caramel macchiato everyday.

 

[that's nice]

Tim. Maybe you should put that effort you showed in that post to doing an update on your TR!

Who knew the UCONN game, the NCAA tourney, and St. Patty's day would thwart my attempt to finish my update last night.

I have to work for a few hours tonight but when I get home I expect to finish what I started. Who knows... maybe finish the whole report.

You know, it took me almost the whole ride to my house to type that text message (No texting and driving here). When you want a red light, where are they? Just wanted you to know I was thinking of you and wishing Andy well. You know I don't post a lot (but I do read and laugh along with you all) Hmmm, I guess I'm a semi-lurker!! Anyway, threads can move so fast, sometimes I feel like I'm out of it!! (and DISing hard at work). So, wanted to be sure I got to you.

Yay!! Happy Friday - going up to 73 degrees here!!!!

Sounds like the perfect way to spend time in FL, drink yourself silly with caffeine! For the woman who isnt supposed to have it LOL

So here is the plan Stan...Thurs we are unsure of coffee but Thurs night we will do Kellys Fishhouse, we will meet for dinner where we can eat our weight in FL seafood and wander to Starbucks for a night cap

Fri I will pick you up around 9? We can go to Starbucks on Davis Blvd, yes it is out of the way but there isnt any other ones around until we get to Coconut Point and there is NO WAY JOSE I am going to make Kathy wait 40 minutes for her fix

So that will be drink # 1

By the time we finish that and head to Miromar Outlets we will be ready for drink # 2 (and by this time we will not fight over who pays as one of us will have already won on round 1 )

We will sit and sip and chat and sip some more and then get down to shopping! And shopping and then get a Starbucks before we leave, drink #3

On to Coconut Point where we shall lunch and shop and get drink # 4 before we leave.

I shall drop a wired woman off with her Romeo to get freshened up and then we will be entertained by knife juggling chefs and flames on the table and lots of delish hibachi treats and of course some type of alcohol! skip dessert and high tail it to Starbucks where drink # 5 awaits us!

Will post our last supper in a sec!

Thanks, hon...you are very sweet. And, as I write this, getting ready to go out for my frappucino.

Excuses! Excuses! Excuses! Get with the program here, Tim.

I don't text and drive either. And I'm with you...never a red light when you want one.

It was really sweet of you, and I appreciate it a whole lot.

I thought I had posted on here earlier, but it looks like I haven't!

But hey, I love your plans and Nicki's too! I envy you so much to be able to spend so much time together! But you deserve a treat and Nicki is just that!

 

[KatMark]

Sounds like the perfect way to spend time in FL, drink yourself silly with caffeine! For the woman who isnt supposed to have it LOL I'll have you know, I do HALF caffeine...so I cheat only 50%.

So here is the plan Stan...Thurs we are unsure of coffee but Thurs night we will do Kellys Fishhouse, we will meet for dinner where we can eat our weight in FL seafood and wander to Starbucks for a night cap Yes, the place we couldn't go to last year because it was closed and that I've heard NOTHING but raves about from my husband from when he went with you last April!

Fri I will pick you up around 9? We can go to Starbucks on Davis Blvd, yes it is out of the way but there isnt any other ones around until we get to Coconut Point and there is NO WAY JOSE I am going to make Kathy wait 40 minutes for her fix VERY, VERY SMART GIRL!!!!!

So that will be drink # 1

Wired woman will probably need a nap at this point; remind me, I want to look for a couple of sundresses while shopping for our September trip, please. And I forgot about having a #5 at Starbucks rather than dessert (we can leave the boys behind and they can have dessert and pay the bill!

Will post our last supper in a sec!

Comments in red and waiting for our "Last Supper."

I thought I had posted on here earlier, but it looks like I haven't!

Karin, you are right. Nicki is a treat!

I am glad you love the plans. I can't wait.

I saw on one of your tickers you are going in May and it seems close to my dates. I was wondering what your dates were?

 

[PirateKate]

Seafood and Starbucks...it doesn't get much better than that. Sounds like some fun days!

 

[MaryAz]

That is a lot of Starbucks-not a fan-sorry. But hey if I was chillin with my BFF I would probably have one or 2. Meals sound great. Hurray for cute sundresses.

 

[Amy&Dan]

Hi Kathy, so many great things in store for such a great lady!

I know out here according to a few of my teacher friends, districts prefer newly graduated teachers, like someone else said, they are cheaper, less jaded and ready to roll up their sleeves and work. I am really keeping my fingers crossed this works for Andy. You and Mark have done such a great job with your boys and their choices really reflect that. Now that my kids are teenagers, I know its hard work and not easy to make good adults!

Your ADR's look great, I can't wait to see the pics of your CP breakfast to see how Mary's girls have grown since the last trip. We are eating there with my nieces in June, I booked this one per your trip reports.

And your trip to Florida sounds like a great way to get the stink of winter off with your bff and get plenty of Starbucks and cocktails in as well!

 

[kaffinito]

Joining the fun! And now off to read the previous 50+ pages.

 

[MickeyNicki]

I have an idea ..Why don't you and Nicki try Starbucks I think you'd like it !!!

I love it but I am not as devoted a fan as my BFF...I think she would climb 20ft snow drifts to get a cup

But hey, I love your plans and Nicki's too! I envy you so much to be able to spend so much time together! But you deserve a treat and Nicki is just that!

Oh sweets, we wish you were here too! Miss you and Tom so much! One breakfast just wasnt enough!

I saw on one of your tickers you are going in May and it seems close to my dates. I was wondering what your dates were?

Cool! We will be there May 23-27

Seafood and Starbucks...it doesn't get much better than that. Sounds like some fun days!

YUMMY! But not together...we need at least an hour between the two

That is a lot of Starbucks-not a fan-sorry. But hey if I was chillin with my BFF I would probably have one or 2. Meals sound great. Hurray for cute sundresses.

Not to worry, Mark and Todd would much rather have Dunkin Donuts....that is why we ditch em

There are tons of sundresses out there right now. We will hit TJ Maxx and Ross (similar to a TJ Maxx) all the outlet stores, Dillards (like a Macy's) and much much more!

 

[MickeyNicki]

Our last supper...that is gonna be a good one! We will meet at Grouper & Chips for dinner. It is a little hole in the wall, maybe 6 tables tops and the food is just incredible. The grouper and the shrimp are fantastic but the best part and the one thing I love the most is the linguini with lemon burre blanc sauce....OMG it is drool-worthy!

And the hush puppies are pretty darn tasty too!

Now Kath, you are staying at the intersection of Davis Blvd and Collier Blvd (right off the side by the interstate). For your Starbucks fix the closest one is on Davis Blvd. Come out the hotel area by the gas station and at the traffic light you are going to go straight across the intersection, that is Davis Blvd. Stay on that for 8 miles or so and on the left hand side there is a shopping center with Publix Grocery store....there you will find your beloved coffee shop!

If that is too far you can always go to Waffle House, we all know how much you love that place

 

[marvali]

Good luck to Andy! Hope it works out for him.

And that final dinner of Grouper, shrimp and hush puppies sounds
