CTM wants to take a walk on the beach so I said, "Goodbye! I'll stay safely here on the step at Land Shark Landing cause you know I HATE THE BEACH!!!"

CTM coaxed me off the step with the promise of a frosty Land Shark....

This one's for all of you beach lubbers out there! I'll probably have to have counseling after this :)

After the walk on the beach we had dinner at Frank and Lola's Cafe, hit the hay, and headed out early on our road trip. Next stop was Madeira Beach.
Happy hour at Scully's...

We struggled a bit finding accommodations. Finally ended up at a hotel in St. Petersburg. Now, from our experience when we used to travel with Forrest and recently with Oscar we found that the only hotels that took pets were SHITHOLES.... When we walked in the door we were greeted by a giant hounddog of some sort and the place reeked of cigarette smoke. I looked at CTM and announced we were staying in a SHITHOLE! His comeback was..."Well, if it is any consolation to you....if you could you would fire up a cigarette and have Oscar by your side." Touche! As it turned out it really wasn't bad at all :)
The next day we continued south and had lunch at the Sandbar Waterfront Restaurant on Anna Maria Island...it was GREAT!

O.K....now I'll confess....the whole point of this "road trip" was to end up on Friday night at Bert's Bar in Matlacha, Florida to see our favorite entertainer....JIM MORRIS!!! Wow! Matlacha was a really cool little town....kind of a combination of the Keys and Pontiac. There were no "chain" hotels or anything for that matter. We stayed at the Bridgewater Inn so we could stumble back after Jim and not have to drive anywhere. It was a really cool little hotel. It was "Inn the Water" and they weren't kidding!

The hotel was literally on pilings and people came there to stay and fish off their porch!
Phew! Our road trip was finally nearing an end. Next stop....ISLAMORADA! We spent a couple of days chillin' and finally went fishing on Tuesday...stayed tuned for fishing reports!
Catch you on the flip flop....
