Steve (DOS) and I stayed in Sarasota a week on this Way-Cation, and enjoyed dining out each night at the nearby downtown restaurants. Although we had a car, it was much more convenient taking Uber the short distance to the…
May-day: Way-Cation in Sarasota!
Yes, it’s now officially May and great Florida weather before the ultra-heat and daily storms of the upcoming summer months. Steve (DOS) and I took our longest trip yet since my heart surgery last September, and did a “Way-Cation” for…

The Globe Theater and Greenwich via Uber-boat
