I thought the backside of cocoa beach where you face the banana river is a nice area. This one has every amenity, rv and boat parking is a biggie. Billiards. My cousin and real estate agent both pushing me to buy a pool table, no thanks. My cousin even said I should host a party once a week and he would maybe come up to see me lol. I for sure dont want the obligation of a weekly party. And of course the pool and shuffle board and all the normal things. Mine has a library I really like. The same banana river is what I look out to, except it a much wider river by the time it goes past my new condo. Problem is this one is only 1305 sf, bigger but not big enough and I think HOA $860, pushing that 1k mark hard. My hoa includes wifi and tv from spectrum. A lot in miami hoa include electricity is why hoa in Miami . I really looked hard for something big enough with a reasonable hoa, just never found it. I wanted to stay in cape Canaveral or cocoa beach. This is the banana river view and condo has TV and boat parking. I really liked this area better just not the size of the units and hoa. I'd just call it deep water side of the island like they do in texas. I'd have preferred this location. More tucked away. I would need a larger house and maybe 2 or 3 more seasons thrown in for a move like that.............. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wanted a condo, because in my mind a single family house is less secure than a condo. I could be wrong. When push came to shove, sf won out. I picked a condo 2 or 3 miles further to get the sf I wanted. To me over 2000 sf is huge. It feels like a luxurious amount of space to me. HUGE. I did want to be even closer to the port but moved to less touristy, where snow birds have winter retreats to more residential. Idk. Space won out for me too. I'm not a whole family, just me and lots of junk I store lol. There are some lovely homes there that are single family. I wanted a condo, and not a townhouse with stairs either. Limited my choices. I still love to look. Everything is a compromise. People are saying so big for just you, get something smaller, less utilities. Idk if too big. Its bigger than where I live now. Looking forward to all that space. Feels like a luxury. I'm glad uber exists. 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Idk he was still alive. I've read a lot of his books and liked him. I'm a avid reader. I always bring paperbacks with me on cruises. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think 1200 sq Ft for a single person is fine , totally agree with you on stairs , we moved about a dozen years ago mostly because we wanted a single story . We need extra space for the kittens we are going to buy , I am happy in Dallas area . I buy my paperbacks either in Sams or half price books. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I forget how and when do you use i I like Amazing Race better anyway, the places and scenery they go to is amazing! She thought she was secure.I also like Amazing Race better because of the places they travel to .Many that I hoped to visit .However,I never had a desire to go to Columbia.

I have too much stuff for 1200 sf. I go to half price books all the time. Me and my bil. Hes also a reader. Hes a balduchi fan too. Here is one for jimbo. Penthouse whole 5th floor of this ocean front bldg. $2400 a month HOA. Even if I came up with the purchase price, no way I'm paying that much HOA. Those high hoas are my issue with condos, so I compromised on location. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, it would have been interesting and cool to see what public figures would be there & how they acted at a private event. I posted this a few years ago but it bears repeating .Approximately 15 years ago I was at a wedding where one of the guests was the lead singer of Duran,Duran-Simon LeBan.We were told not to approach him .I was at the bar and he came up to me and said he could not understand why nobody was talking to him.I explained what we were told by the Groom.He laughed and we had an interesting conversation. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've finished all the "Prey" series, and started with his "side-kick" -- Virgin Flowers. Enjoying it very much. I think you mean Virgil. Yes, he is a character I enjoy. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(I prefer the first one 😉) The "kid" is happy 😎 Both are wonderfully creative! Like most others, I prefer the first one because it’s easier to see the ‘hooks’. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Right you're, Mark. @h20skibum Just reading #6 on VirgiL series. In my defense - I'm down with a nasty flu (vaccinated to boot) for more than a week. Got it from DH, who had a light "version", since he didn't bother to get vaccinated.... Not fair, not fair at all 😢 17 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry to hear you are battling the flu, Dani. Susan had something on and off for almost a month. Thankfully, I didn’t get whatever she had. Hope you get rid of it soon. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DaniDanielle Posted March 28 #118068 Share Posted March 28 He really is a very smart kid, don’t know where he came from. I think I mentioned he got full scholarships to all the high schools he applied to. That valedictorian speech ought to be something! 14 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FromSea2ShiningSea Posted March 28 #118071 Share Posted March 28 Day 3- 3/28 Today’s activities is to walk to the Miyajima Public Aquarium. Along the way are a few photos… I don’t want to make this post super long so I will just post a few aquarium photos. Cuttle Fish We found Nemo Coral that looks like bouquets of flowers Lion Fish Red Crown Crane This shows how oysters are made. Walking back along the beachfront…a small shrine. Finally…a treat! This soft-serve ice cream is thick and rich. A 100% better than what RC serves as soft-serve. 25 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare aussielozzie18 Posted March 28 #118074 Share Posted March 28 @DaniDanielle I wish your grandson didn’t have to write that but it is indeed beautifully written. 2 years. Please remind me how old he is now. @dani negreanu sorry you are unwell. Get better soon. @FromSea2ShiningSea pretty sure I speak for everyone that we don’t mind how long your posts are.
