My Destin Vacation
May 19th, 2009
Let me get this out of my system: never, ever, ever stay at Crystal Villas.
The condo looks ancient and decrepit. It has 3 floors and no elevator. That’s right, no elevator. It smells like dirty underwear. The balcony overlooking the beach catches not a single breeze. Oh, and it houses this little fella.
Yep! I paid almost $200 a night for a freaking roach. And the internet costs $3 an hour.
Disappointed and pissed off, I took a stroll on the beach and was instantly charmed by the view.
The water was so clear that I was able to see the crabs hiding underneath. Being a manly man that I am, I decided to hunt for dinner, with my own bare hands. Bad idea. I got 3 crabs and 2 cut fingers.
Hurt, hungry, and still pissed off, I drove around looking for a good seafood restaurant. Unfortunately, everything was closed. So I came back home and ate noodles. We drove 5 hours and paid almost $200 a night, only to smell dirty underwear, kill roaches, get bitten by crabs, and eat noodles. Day 1 did not go well to say the least.
The next 3 days were a dream, however. We bathed in the ocean, tanned in the sun, went jet skiing, and skinny dipped in the heated pool.
To see all that Destin has to offer, we rented 2 scooters and drove around town. These little bad boys could go as fast as 60 mph.
I would love to retire in one of these houses.
Destin was fun, but I’ve seen everything there is to see. My next trip would probably be Europe or perhaps Vietnam.
