Help locate store on St. Armands
by unclebuck236
We shopped on St. Armands on 2/24/08 and had a wonderful day. Regretfully we did not purchase CMC (Not sure of brand initials) Magic Pants carried by one of your merchants.
We would so much appreciate it if someone would identify the ladies clothing store that has long flowing hot pink sheer curtains, that hang from the ceiling for dressing rooms.
Please reply.

I know this response is more than 2 years late! But I just joined VT and just read your posting! The store you are looking for is called Natural Discoveries! As of November, 2009 they were still selling the Magic Pants! Hope this helps!
Travel Tips for Sarasota
LIDO KEY
by LoriPori
Hans and I spent Tuesday afternoon on LIDO KEY. Lido Beach was wonderful. Not far from where we set up our towels, beach umbrella and chairs, there was the public swimming pool for those who find the Gulf of Mexico too salty. Also there was rest rooms, change rooms and a little kiosk selling pop and hot dogs. If you forget to bring a picnic, restaurants, ice cream parlours and a Starbucks are nearby at the trendy St. Armand's Circle on John Ringling Blvd. When I went to use the rest room facilities at Lido Beach, I saw the funniest thing. Two birds were hanging around the kiosk in hopes they would get fed. I have the funniest shots of them near the phone booth. It's as if they wanted to make a phone call. I wonder if they were calling collect!!! hehe!
Update: Thanks to VT friend Traveldave. He identified my two birds as a Great Egret (the larger one ) and the smaller one is a wood stork. Thanks Dave!!
Changing the world one beer at a time!
by BeerHunter
The Cock & Bull pub at 975 Cattlemen Rd is the finest recreation of a rural European public house. Authentic in looks and attitudes this pub offers one of the widest beer selections in the World! At least 20 draughts, more than 400 imports. They don't do Bud, Mich, or Coors. They'll help you pick a beer, offer you samples, and the conversation ranges from beer to politics. This is a great place to get away from it all ... Belgium, Ireland, England, Germany, Czech Republic ... wherever you want to be - they'll make you feel like you are there.
Classy Waterfront Dining!
by radiominor about Ophelias on the Bay
This is Sarasota's classiest waterfront dining. Rumor has it that this restaurant is one of Emeril's favorite South Florida places to eat. It is definitely not to be missed if your are willing to part with your money! Anything and Everything!

Mote Marine Laboratory & Aquarium
by tampa_shawn
Delightful - kids will enjoy it.
A great way to see the Florida Manatee!
This is mainly a research aquarium and also serves to rehabilitation center but there is also a nice aquarium. A family favorite is a giant preserved octopus (something like 18 feet long).
The real gem here is the aquarium’s docents – there are quite a few volunteer experts who are here to share their knowledge and stories about the animals, their habits and rehabilitation. Go during off times to get their total attention.
Current projects at Mote include research on red tide (a devastating algae problem found in ocean), research the local dolphin population and rehabilitation of a large variety of sea turtles, dolphins and manatees. See the following for more Motes research on red tide
http://isurus.mote.org/~mhenry/WREDTIDE.html
There are also several very nice gift shops. Your admission and gift shop purchase all go to support this beneficial research and animal rehabilitation.

Adults ‑ $15
Children 4-12 ‑ $10
