The three villas...

After breakfasting at The Ponderosa in Orlando, we drove over to Clearwater Beach to cross paths with Eunice, Peter, Sally & Co. Weather here is glorious, glorious enough to burn half of one side of my face - might leave the top up on the car tomorrow!

Lucy & Iain's hire car

After a quick walk around a couple of surf shops, we strolled along the beach and into Frenchy's for lunch ... well, only Lucy & I actually lunched as the rest of the group filled themselves for the day on their buffet breakfasts.

Paula, Peter, Sally, Eunice, Jessica & Lou enjoy lunch

After lunch we continued our drive down to Villa No. 1, that of Steven, Mum Fish, Mary, Katie & Nicole. To say it is stunning is an understatement! We left the new residents to unpack and get acquainted and drove the 10 minute journey to Villa No. 2 - that of Dad Fish, Margaret, Lucy and me. It was a return to villa paradise for Lucy & I having stayed here last year, but dad & Margaret were more than pleased with it after a quick tour.

Villa No. 1 comes with a mini-entertainment system

A quick visit to Publix was made by the four of us, and following a quick bite to eat Lucy & I drove over to Villa No. 3 - that of Eunice, Peter, Sally, Lou, Paula & Jessica. Again, a spectacular villa that no photograph could do justice to.

Back at our villa now (Villa No. 2 for those of you not paying attention), having a couple of drinks whilst trying to get as much of today's blog out of the way before the broadband gives up the ghost.

Fingers crossed, the weather will be similarly hot tomorrow so I can even up the other side of my face!
