Sarasota
My lovely cousin Erin is getting married this summer in Sarasota, and I just got our tickets. We were planning to fly from Moline to Tampa, then renting a car and driving to Sarasota, but that itinerary had 2 stops (Minneapolis and Memphis–how stupid to fly to Minneapolis to get to Florida) and really beastly departure times.
For only a little bit more money, I found an intinerary that has much better departure times and goes straight to Sarasota. It still means driving to Moline, but that’s no big deal; it’s just an hour or so and a very familiar path. I’m getting excited about the whole thing. I haven’t seen an ocean since our honeymoon coming up on two years ago.
I need to buy some sun-blocking clothing. I have the unfortunate combination of a sunscreen allergy and aspirin-white skin, but I also love to swim and snorkel. I was thinking maybe something like this… (thanks, Linds).
