The 2009 Vero Beach Adoration and INFO thread

[BWV Dreamin]

Can't wait.. not even a week to go... We've had some real bad days lately with my lack of work and our kids... MB and I have been asking each other.... Can we really enjoy this? I hope so... I love VB and the ocean. If I don't have my green hat on you will recognize me by being the old man riding waves like an idiot... Until I can't do it anymore... I will do it. See you all there.

Hang in there Rob!!! Wishing I were there with all of you in May!! October seems sooooo farrrrr away! Can you post a pic of your one bedroom? So far I can't talk the hubby into anything but OVIR (or a BC!)

Hey Rob, a stay at Vero will make the you feel better, and yea; you'll enjoy it and go home feeling positive
Ha-ha you and my DH can ride the waves together I'll watch.
I can't wait for next Sunday, I'm packed and ready to go.

Hi - we're about to visit VB for the first time 5/22-5/24. We own at SSR and AKV. We have a studio reserved for DH and myself only. Teenagers are staying at home.

We're actually booked into 3 reservations at all new places this year. We're at Villas at Wilderness Lodge in June and Boardwalk in September for the first time. Trying all new places this year. After that all we'll have left is HHI and California.

Actually made it through all 54 pages of the thread and had a question. Does anyone know a list of raw oyster places and also a decent happy hour price for oysters?

Looking forward to a nice relaxing getaway with hubby.

Hey Gamomof2, we (DH and I) will be at VB the same time as you 5/22 - 5/25. It will be our first trip as well! I'm keeping my fingers crossed for beautiful beach weather!

Wow! A group of some of my favorite DVC "DIS'ers" all headed to one of my favorite spots......and I won't be there!! Just stopped by to take a peek at this thread and got a little dose of jealousy. Have a wonderful time everybody!!

Maria

Merritt Island is a part of the Cape Canaveral protected lands (NASA).... They have a number of animal sanctuaries and a number of walking and driving tours through the lands. Our most memorable time was when we came across a Florida Panther just in front of our car... Really cool... We just love Merritt Island. Bird galore, plenty of reptiles, and we really, really loved finding Otters. They are soooo cute and playful.

We're just nature geeks...

Looking forward to a VB Groupies pic too!

 

[MiaSRN62]

Hey Pam ! I always enjoyed our chats about VB (and OKW) in the past. Wish you were going to be at VB with us !

Rob...Merritt Island is sounding so neat. I may want to visit it too now !

I googled "Merritt Island" and got the official visitor's guide. While reading through the guide, couldn't help but notice that my dd's college is on the places to visit :
F.I.T. Botanical Gardennique
150 W. University Blvd.
Melbourne FL 32901
(321)674-8000
Call for days and hours of operation
Admission Charged
Located on the outskirts of the Florida Institute of Technology, Melbourne campus, this gardennique is a one-mile paved trail that winds its way through some 300 species of palms, fern and tropical foliage. Included in the gardennique is Brevard County's oldest one-room schoolhouse, built in 1883. You can pick up a Botanical Garden Plant Guide and Nature Trail map at the adjacent Evans Library.

Anyway....lots to explore in the Merritt Island area..........

Rob.. have a safe trip down to VB, and Merritt Island does sound like a neat place to visit . Might have to pull ourselves away from the beach one day to check it out.

 

[fers31]

Oooooh......down to 2 days! Looking forward to this. I don't own any lime green though. Hopefully someone will find me. Dark hair, bigger guy, chasing the 18 month old. In case someone wants to find me....my name is Scott. My kid's name is Trent. Look for the dad yelling "Trent...don't eat the sand!" If I'm wearing a hat, it will be an all white hat with a white "R" on it (Rutgers). Most of my shirts are Tommy or Nautica so you can look for that too. Hope to meet you guys.

Damn right... Temps will be around 75 degrees... good for me and not good for jelly fish. or the dreaded POM. Just me and the sharks... We can get along as long as they don't mistaken me for an injured fish.... I am soooo happy to be going tomorrow.... As always I end my fun when my body can't do it anymore...

Thanks for the encouragement... It is helping right now
