Sun & Fun RV Resort

If you're going to go to an RV park - do a step up and go to a resort! This place at I75, Exit 210 is in Sarasota and very, very comfortable! Not only do they have a huge pool heated to 82-86, they have a baby pool (see in photo) that has a water umbrella, a bar & grill and two whirlpool tubs. It is very relaxing to sit in shade by the pool and have lunch with a beer! This resort also has two dog wash areas (big dogs/small dogs), a fenced dog park, a fishing lake with sidewalks and benches to sit on and enjoy the view. For Mother's Day w/e they also had live music. I had a great time there and we drove 10 miles or so to LIDO beach in Sarasota for a couple of hours in the morning to enjoy the Gulf. The water was warm there, also and just as clean as can be.

Pricing Post Cards

I'm trying to learn how to buy post cards.

Can anyone critique and price these cards for me? Give me reasons for the prices you estimate their value to be.

I have found a nice collection of post cards that include holidays, locations, people, color, b&w, etc. I'd buy more and offer them for sale (at very good prices) if I knew which ones to purchase. Any suggestions/pricing/advice/requests for me to "pick" for them will be appreciated. Let me know what cards you are willing to pay $5.00 or more for and I'll see what I can find. Thanks. Madlyn

Medical Tourism

Hi Friends;

I'm reading an article about medical outsourcing or medical tourism as it is also known. (http://www.medicaltourism.com) and wonder if you know about it. The article I'm reading was in the Jan/Feb 2008 Saturday Evening Post.

If you need some major health procedure done that you can't afford (hip replacement, heart by-pass), you may be able to get your insurance to cover the procedure in Costa Rica, Thailand, India or the Philippines! Or, at lease save 75-90% if you pay for it yourself. Some insurance companies actually pay for a companion to go along with you, pay for both tickets and give you 20% of the difference in prices between the U.S. price and the foreign price! In Bangkok they pick you up at the airport. The quality is at least as good as U.S. because these boutique hospitals can't risk loosing the U.S. business.

If you are uninsured, this may be the only option, outside bankruptcy, to get your medical procedure.

The point of my telling you this is, of course, if you need a (free) companion to go along with you, my time can be flexible!!!
