AFTERNOON WALK ON THE BEACH

Would be cool to have one of these :)  On the sand in Deerfield Beach

TORTUGA MUSIC FESTIVAL 2015

5 months til the Tortuga Music Festival on the beach in Ft. Lauderdale, Florida!  Just finished booking our rooms for the weekend, Yes - 5 months out,  The hotels are booking fast so I didn't want to take any chances.   I found a great group of boutique hotels in North Beach Village - clean and neat and reasonably priced.  The big chain hotels are charging $300-400 a night.
Last year we stayed at the Beach Gardens Hotel and wanted to book there again.  But they have a wedding party booked that weekend.

Bummer, but there are several other properties in the Village, so we chose Tranquilo for our stay this time.  Can't wait - it's going to be a great time!

Deerfield Beach S Curve

Hard to believe there are so many restaurants/bars in these few blocks on AIA in Deerfield Beach - here's the list

Bru's Room
Barracuda
The concept of Barracuda, a small restaurant located just two blocks from the ocean, was created by the owner’s passion for food and tradition of her country. The restaurant offers a full liquor bar but is known for making the best Caipirinha of South Florida. With live Brazilian music for most nights of the week, we find Barracuda hosting customers from various countries, but most important, our establishment is filled with the presence and support of our locals. We hope you savor our food with the same pleasure as we prepare them for you.

Happy Hour from 4-7 with $5 appetizers and 2/1 drinks.  They also have an Early Bird Special from 4-7 - full course meal with a glass of wine for $15.

Tybee Island - Mermaid Cottages near Savannah, GA

So wanting to take a vacation here.  What a great spot to relax and have fun - would be awesome for a girl's getaway.  Families too!  Cottages sleep several, most are pet friendly and are very reasonably priced.  Plus, you don 't even need to rent a car.  Catch a shuttle from the Savannah Airport.  Once you're at Tybee  Beach, you can pretty much walk or bike everywhere.
