RE: Prize Pool #2 SBD Prize
Have you been able to get to the beach very often? I've made it to Florida 3 times in my life. I love visiting but I am EXTREMELY afraid of Tsunami's for some reason. I've never been in one, or even been close to being in one. I don't know maybe I saw a movie as a kid that stuck with me or something, lol. But I would like at least once to visit and stay in a cottage near the water. All we've ever done is stay in a hotel many miles from the beach. If I could get over my fear, it would be so peaceful!
Aw, that's too bad your fear of tsunamis wrecks staying on the beach for you! I highly recommend it for sheer relaxation. Maybe try a high rise so you can tell yourself you're above the flood zone? Or are you afraid of going to the beach period?
Luckily for me, I have family who live within a reasonable drive (1-1.5 hours) from the Gulf coast. Whenever I visit them, we get a couple beach trips in. Last time I was there I got an Airbnb rental right on the barrier island--OMG, that is SO the way to go, even better (and cheaper) than the beach hotels. I was just thinking this morning that if I had a beach house I'd spend the whole freaking month of February doing the snowbird thing!
I have loved it every time I have been there. I honestly don't know where the Tsunami fear comes from. I've never been in one, never saw on in real life. I guess seeing all the video of people being swept away in the one from the last 10 years or so left an imprint. I get very emotional thinking about the fear people go through and hearing the stories of the survivors.
