Cocoa Beach. I rented a nice room right on the beach. I will be surfing and enjoying the local eateries and social life.

Sounds relaxing, hope the weather is nice for you. I plan on doing a lot of walking, probably 4-8 miles a day.

Kinda late to this thread and sorry about that. Spent 4 full days in Pittsbugh in early June. Went there the first time in June 2016 and wanted to go back since then. The week before it had been 90+ degrees there. During my visit, the high was 81 dgrees one day. The highs were in the 70's the other days. It was great.

Yes indeed, i have been many times over the years, love to meet the veterans but they are fewer and fewer as the years pass, i met some on my visit to Nornamndy and some said they will be in Arnhem so hope to meet them again and have a beer, probably for the final time, see images of the places i visit, Noordwijk on the coast to relax and then to Arnhem, parade of WW2 restored Jeeps and other trucks.

Quaking Aspens. Notice how elk love eating the bark at the base. It has medicinal properties, like aspirin.

I bet salmon fishing is good there, if you can keep away from those big bears.

Not been there since 2000, I worked in the "other supermarket", the one on the way to the park, rather than the Safeway in town.
I haven't gone anywhere on holiday since before the pandemic, unable to go anywhere right now either. Plans to go somewhere in February.

There is no Walgreens or other drug stores in town and one grocery store. There is an empty lot in the center of town on Elkhorn drive for 2 million, build a Walgreens there and it pays for the lot in no time.

There's the Safeway, I looked it up, it's still there. That's in the Stanley Village. Then there's the Country Supermarket on Moraine Avenue, still also seems to be there. Also the Rocky Mountain Pharmacy in Stanley Village, as a Drug Store.
