Your posts are wonderful, really, and I particularly like the fact that you give so much background information. I don't know if I'll ever have occasion to say that I know why Palm Beach got its name, but you never know. <br /><br />Your thrifty travelling style is great - makes me think more about taking advantage of all the cheap fares you can get in Europe. <br /><br />Thanks for the travelogue, and all the time you took to do this.Deborahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10892637441668897411noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8796960161183320830.post-24015016749292078012010-02-22T19:31:05.327-05:002010-02-22T19:31:05.327-05:00You did a marvelous job sharing Palm Beach and you...You did a marvelous job sharing Palm Beach and your travel plans. Traveling on a budget is a lot of fun, if you ask me, more of an adventure. It looks like a beautiful community, and that Breakers is a place I've heard about for years. Quite posh. But it would be an entity removed from the real community, like its own compound.<br /><br />The color of the sea is so beautiful. Wonderful post. I always look forward to these travelogues from you.Ruthhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14204074161539605133noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8796960161183320830.post-67946077625960360442010-02-22T15:03:36.635-05:002010-02-22T15:03:36.635-05:00Hardly possible to make anything more complete and...Hardly possible to make anything more complete and informative in one post ... and one day!PeterParishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09694538476960957295noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8796960161183320830.post-31032795294788852472010-02-22T12:30:37.940-05:002010-02-22T12:30:37.940-05:00Anonymous – the book shown on the cover of Laura W...Anonymous – the book shown on the cover of Laura Woodward’s book is a Royal Pionciana, a flowering tree native of Madagascar.

When I used my film camera I did not take so many pictures because of the expense of developing them, but now with a digital camera I can take hundred of pictures on my memory card. For the trip to Florida I took about 900 pictures. It is hard to choose which ones to post.Vagabondehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10774109692564954568noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8796960161183320830.post-83681936282836578692010-02-22T12:01:52.161-05:002010-02-22T12:01:52.161-05:00Bonnie, Alaine, Tinu and Jessica, Vicki Lane, DJan...Bonnie, Alaine, Tinu and Jessica, Vicki Lane, DJan, Marguerite, Elaine, loveable_homebody, Friko, Shammickite,Baino, DianeCA and Lunarossa – Thank you for coming to my blog and checking my visit to Florida.

We were poor newlyweds living on the estate of a very wealthy woman who had a home on Jupiter Island. Every winter she'd invite us to stay with her - what an experience that was! I've always wished to revisit Florida, but it seems very far from the Pacific Northwest.Pondsidehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02407539138546412482noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8796960161183320830.post-86496770277213055742010-02-19T10:54:31.232-05:002010-02-19T10:54:31.232-05:00Isn't Palm Beach lovely, especially in the win...Isn't Palm Beach lovely, especially in the winter.<br /><br />I'm so glad you liked Carmine's. It's one of our favorite spots in Florida. If you're still there and want to drive up to Jupiter, another one of our favorites is The Food Shack. It's on US1 on the SE corner of Indian Town road near Publix. It looks like a hole in the wall, but trust me, the food is to die for. I especially like the Basil Tuna Rolls under appetizers.<br /><br />Thanks so much for mentioning My Carolina Kitchen. Enjoy Palm Beach. I love your photos.<br />SamSam Hoffer / My Carolina Kitchenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15358601435867848753noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8796960161183320830.post-81272578028719851252010-02-19T10:28:22.084-05:002010-02-19T10:28:22.084-05:00Je repasse demain, Vagabonde.Je repasse demain, Vagabonde.claudehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07356955828590617751noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8796960161183320830.post-75825001615624259422010-02-19T05:39:33.897-05:002010-02-19T05:39:33.897-05:00I LOVE palm trees!
