April 17-23 Treasure Beach and Villa Arcadia

This vacation was different for us because we brought Eddie (donna's brother) and Traci Eddies wife along for an adventure. We usually travel alone so it was a first for us.

Just wanted to say thanks!

Some people do not like the time it takes to get to Treasure Beach.
I enjoy the ride. I'm like a dog with my head out the window sniffing the air...Feeling the wind on my face,
trying so hard not to miss a thing. Looking for changes since our last visit.

Awesome

loved driving around fort charles . . . can be creepy at times . . .pretty isolated . . .

JitterBug we were warned that it could be "Dangerous" ,but there were four of us, and we only went in the daytime.

Sorry we missed you. Once we arrived sand gravity took a firm hold.
Thanks for all the great pictures. We loved TB.

Lovely pics! Can't wait to get back to JA!

jim-donna, i travel alone a lot, this one time i was on that stretch of beach, lots of shells to be had, was having a good time by myself . . . all of sudden, i had an overwhelming fear in the pit of my stomach that told me to leave. did not see anyone, but i left immediately. . . . was real creepy feeling. . . . since i travel alone, i act on those feelings.

great pics . . . more please . . .

JitterBug.......That is not funny...One day just Jim and I were walking, and we had been there for a few hours just walking along the edge of the water. Stopping to drink a cold beer from the cooler. All of a sudden we both got a creepy feeling, Jim started to say something and I said "I know, lets go." we hoofed it right back as quick as we could. We also go with "GUT FEELINGS". I hear people live on the other side of the sand dune.

Traci and I having fun at the South Pole with Miss Jer.
I LOVE sitting and chatting with this woman~~A fellow came out of the store and said to Jim,
while pointing at me, "She must be someone special, Miss Jer doesn't set out here with anybody"
We had a good laugh about that.

donna, any more pics and stories? . . . how did your family enjoy this trip?

Really lovely report, Jim and Donna! It certainly can be interesting taking people especially family on a trip with you. Been there, done that. Probably not again for awhile, lol.

I always felt safe in in TB. While walking Fort Charles Beach,someone did pop out of the wooded area. nice man. Thank you for sharing. I am glad i checked in.
