You are looking LIVE... Mardi Gras 11/19 Thanksgiving

Nice start and safe travels.   will keep abreast of your journey , and the NYE cruise. We're on board at end of January.  Same Itinerary (with San Juan).  You can watch sports at Heros and get service from P&A.  Great loungers and seats.  Better than some sports bars.

sounds awesome. Really hope to get a spot at Heroes. Between college football, NFL, and the World Cup we have some awesome sports going down!

I hope y’all are ready for a Time Machine…. They DO exist! 
 

 

Did they give me an actual key on a lanyard? You bet your sweet you know what they did. Classy. Timeless. Secure. 
 

 

“Scenic pool view”…. I guess this is how the other half lives!  
 

 

[TxTeach79]

Not gonna lie, I’m kinda all about the 80’s Beach Chic. The people are super nice, it’s clean, the weather is literal perfection, and this totally reminds me of childhood vacay.

And oh yeah…. Let’s see your Ritz-Carlton come with its own broom. DIDN’T THINK SO! #oceanlandingsgang

Not sure of your dining plans, but if you want to escape the resort, a short way down North Orlando ( just past the split from North Atlantic) is 4th Street Fillin Station with pretty decent burgers and such.  A bit further down is Slow and Low BBQ which isn't Texas Q but good enuf.

Heading north about a mile is Florida Fresh Grill, if you feel like splurging a bit.

Don't get hooked into Time Out Sports, JT's or Cocoa Beach Sports Pub.

i appreciate it! I’ve walked down to Longboards at the Hilton for a bit and am gauging the rest of the day over a rum runner 

[TxTeach79]

I had a little dilemma. I slept like trash last night cause I was so excited, and once I sat down in the room my body just wound WAY down and felt immediately comfortable… but the weather is picture perfect, so I’ve decided to force myself to walk a half mile or so down the road to the tiki bar at the Hilton. 
 

passing the steakhouse here at OL…. 
 

 

headed north toward the Hilton, weather is beyond reproach 

 

 

Ice Cream Hut must kill it on a hot summer day

The only tweeting I’m worried about this week 

 

 

[TxTeach79]

Who knew? Not me. 
 

[TxTeach79]

Made it! Beautiful day! 
 

 

I think there’s a launch or something coming up. Like anyone could even know that. 
 

 

beach bar is closed, but that’s not the main attraction 

 

[TxTeach79]

Made it to Longboard! Let’s kick it all off with a rum runner, shall we? “On the rocks has way more alcohol” she says…. Sold! 
 

 

the menu 

 

 

[TxTeach79]

On to the next spot! 
 

 

when your Uber shows up in a four door Wrangler blasting CCR, you know you’re livin’ right

I love Riki Tikki Tavern at the end of Cocoa Beach Pier.  Awesome view, great drinks and tasty food!

[TxTeach79]

Decided to hit downtown Cocoa Beach this time…. I love Florida beach towns so much 

 

 

 

 

[TxTeach79]

It’s so cool because everyone at the bar here at Coconuts is talking about the cruise they’re on tomorrow. Very cool scene. Digging it hard. And the Florida Lager. 
 

 

 

 

[TxTeach79]

Okay. The sun went down, the live band fired up, and things got REAL chilly outside. Time to head inside to the indoor bar at Coconuts, which is WILD.

Kona Longboard Lager 

 

 

[TxTeach79]

Woman sat down next to me at the bar. Got a bottle of wine. Then told Collin the bartender “I’d like the French Onion soup. One crouton. I don’t want all the bread. I want one crouton. I know what I like.”

[TxTeach79]

Cool. 
 

[TxTeach79]

I guess the lone cruton was to her liking 

 

[TxTeach79]

Collin the bartender is literally asking people “you want a heavy pour or a regular pour?”

 

what a place 

[TxTeach79]

Intracoastal Brewing Lager 

 

 

creepin 

 

[TxTeach79]

Super cute bartender just charged me $8 for 6 beers. STILL GOT IT
