Thank you, and yes she is.

My favorite place to go! We grew up in Central Florida but vacationed at Longboat Key in the late 1960s till now! I go to Longboat Key about 3 times a year. If you both go further down on Gulf Dr from The Tortuga Inn about 4 to 5 miles toward St Almands Circle there is a huge Publix at the light on the left. They have everything! Before covid they had a salad bar, olive bar & more. Locals will know about this. FYI. Looks like you had a great time! The West Coast is the best!!

We agree! We usually go to Siesta Key during the summer, but we have visited Anna Maria Island in the Winter a couple of times. We've driven by the Publix you are talking about, but just have never stopped. It's on Longboat Key

We actually drove down to Siesta Key and Sarasota one night, and I thought St. Armands Circle was lit up beautifully for Christmas.

@@Momtocam1997 I was actually planning to go back to the first store and get a shirt, because they were the most reasonable. I never made it back up there. Have to do it next trip. Plus, I've already got T-shirts from just about everywhere, anyway. I don't really need another one.

Saturday evening at that publix is an Olympic sport. We always get Pizza that night we get there and I go early on Sunday am. We to to AMI every year. Yes, that publix is very expensive.

The palm trees do look nice wrapped in lights. The sand and water is beautiful! Making us excited about summer and getting to the beach. Bean Point is beautiful! The water looks so inviting that I'm not thinking it is cold. But I know it is. Great job!

The water temperature that time of year, is normally upper 60s. But because they had just had that cold snap where it was so cold (right after we met up with ya'll), the water temperature there was 63. It went straight to the bone the minute we stepped in it. But it did look warm. By the time we left Florida, the temperatures were in the low 80s. Let us know when you decide on where you're going in Florida this year. I think you were looking at the Destin area? Great fishing there.

We’ve started just doing an online order & pickup at Walmart when we arrive in town. Skip the checkouts

That's a good idea and I'm sure that many prefer to do it that way. We may be a little weird, but for us, part of the excitement is going to the grocery store once we first check in, and stocking up for the week. Plus, only Publix carries that brand of orange juice, and it is absolutely the best. We love going to Publix when we are in Florida.

I like all the talking kind of like we’re there with y’all.

Derrick, you seemed to really have an enjoyable time. I'm taking it that most of this video was shot prior to you going down in putt-putt.

Yes, that would be correct. The putt putt was in Orlando, after we left Anna Maria Island.

Enjoyed this content very eclectic. I love the Historic bridge area always a place I visit. Visiting my mother later this year ( in her 90;s) in Sarasota first time I have returned to the USA since the pandemic, didn't feel inspired to travel long haul. The Publix was interesting the food is very expensive in the USA compared to the UK, just an observation.. I like Trader Joe and Detwiler's in Sarasota. My family tell me there is new Detwiler's on Clark road.

I've heard of it (Detwiler's) but not sure exactly where it is. We have been to the Trader Joe's in Sarasota a couple of times, however. I really like it. In fact, on our last review of Walt's Fish Market back in July of 2022, we did our close out from the Trader Joe's parking lot. Hope you have a great visit to Sarasota.

No, not in the Keys. Anna Maria Island is near Bradenton, just south of Tampa.

I get Publix fried chicken about once a month, it is cheaper than frying it yourself. I have never seen nuts on a key lime pie, that doesn’t even sound good to me. That is one of the things I enjoy about y’alls video, not having to put up with any trashy stuff. I wish all that could be banned.

@NCMemoryMakers

Жыл бұрын

Publix is the only place I know of, where it is tough to get a key lime pie without nuts. Most stores don't put them on at all. The Publix stores in Florida are usually good about offering it both ways, but the ones up here think you are strange if you request one without nuts. And yes, their chicken is quite good. And we are committed to keeping our channel clean. We don't even allow comments to remain, if someone uses an off-color word in it. That's not what we are about. We fully agree with you, about wishing it weren't out there at all.
