OMG Something exxxciting on the forum!

Dave is the master of the Florida Sleep Over PRA. Make sure you talk with Dave.

You can sleep here any night you want. Can you bring your own sushi?

Are you coming to look at palms?

When's your next trip over to the Left Coast, to reduce the Sleepover deficit?

A trip to the Keys is well worth a couple of days, but to see alligators(and lots of them), all you have to do is drive 15 minutes from the house here to the Everglades and take an airboat ride. Alot of fun!

I will say this. I am jealous. But the commentary on the PRA should be priceless. You two will have a whole new group of people to be snarky too.

How are you two going to get time off from your jobs? :)

Len, can I borrow $800? Have? OK. Thanks. I'll send you lot's of pics. Do you like fruit loops? Watermelon is softer.

We can eat some "pointy tailed Grouper" gator tail. Get your group of palm forum members together and I am sure the forum members here in South Florida will show you an experience you will never forget! :drool:

You guys come here and we may just wild it up and burn the whole town down. We will get folks to come from all points unknown to clarify traditions. Winter is best because the mosquitoes quit for a little while. We will get you a tee time with Trump!

Matt, I am going to advise you not to venture into any "nudie" bars until Islamorada. Even if you wear the pants, both you and Dewd may get a little less than you bargained for. That stated, I am willing to bet Ken Johnson can show you more along the lines of what you are conjuring in the Magic City.

So I guess the idea is to feed them the fish and not your hand. PogoBob better not walk down that dock in his speedos.

Enough fish talk & pictures. Matty and Paul, maybe you can give us all some idea on what length of time you guys might be staying in Florida. Are you planning on traveling to different parts of the state, or mainly to south Florida?

Is it just palms and gardens your interested in seeing?

Are you interested in staying w/ forum members at their house, or are you guys more comfortable and rather stay in hotels?

Give us some ideas, I know it's still a long way off. But we got to milk this topic for several more months,right? :lol:
