re: Thoughts on Amelia Island

We stayed there for a couple of nights two years ago in the Marriot Residence Inn. It had connected hiking trails which I took off on a hot night at sunset. There was a small pond behind a chain link fence, and as I was looking at a floating log, it started to move- it was a gator. Ran back to the hotel and banged on our window and mouthed the words "gator" to my kids. They ran out as fast as can be and got to see their first live alligator- in fact likely still the only one they have seen. I know, CSB for most on this board, but pretty exciting for some Minnesota kids.

The beach was good. And they do sell booze on Sunday. Not far from Savannah or South Carolina.
