I only remember seeing the photo albums that you can buy at the parks and WDW resorts, but I could've missed them.

Okay thanks. I usually buy albums for the year we are there. Since we are only going once in 2010, I wanted to make sure I either got 2 at WDW or one there and one at Vero.

Nope as the previous poster stated they only carry WDW ones .... no vero specific ones.

Rob sorry it took so long. Just catching up. Have been out on the high seas in search of Pirate Booty(tagging along on magnetometer surveys ) and out on an African Safari talking to the Animals(playing tourguide with relatives at the Parks LOL)
Those are great pictures! 1st one is a Loggerhead and second is probably one as well. The one in your picture is not a Leatherback.( the body would be almost all black/dark brown with some white "freckles" However, is that the same turtle you posted a different angle picture of earlier that I said could be a Leatherback?(went searching back some pages and couldn't find picture) Because the body did look like a Leatherback.
(Leatherback do not have a hard carapace like other Turtles but thick skin with pronounced ridges). Hard to tell from pix sometimes. Sorry my bad.

This year I took the advice of the great folks on this board and got the bug spray with picardian. I ended up getting OFF family care. I still got some bites but much less than the year before! I have found the bugs worse in the evening, and last year got a lot of bites when we were able to do the turtle walk. That was about 12:30 AM when we finished and we were covered in bites This is all coming from someone who will be found by the only biting insect within a 100 mile radius. You will love Vero, it is our favorite relaxation spot (besides the cruise!) Have a great time.

Madcoco, Thanks for identifying the turtles!

You're welcome and Thank you for sharing the wonderful picture.

Great to hear. The no-see-ums can be heavy in the morning as well so if anyone plans on following the turtle patrol and/or taking an early morning stroll on the beach(or elsewhere) please use some spray.You won't regret it.

Any thoughts ideas for an adults only vacation, first-timers too, at Vero Beach? Tips or suggestions......I think we won't know what to do with ourselves without the kids!

Ghost of VB. Walking the beach early one morning came upon this fly fisherman. Shouted out to him if he has had any luck. He didn't answer. Went on my way. Finally started getting some photos off the chips and wierd you can see the ripples right through him Hmmmmmm.
