January 27, 201511 yr Just a thought that crossed my mind that I thought might be a good topic here in the Break Room. I am presently in Miami, Florida, actually Hallandale Beach, about 20 miles north of downtown Miami. I am a stones throw from the Gulfstream Park Racetrack Complex, a couple of more blocks to the Mardi Gras Dog Track, and a couple of miles from Dania Jai-Alai. I can look out of my (reasonably priced) hotel room window and see a branch of the Intercostal. The weather is warm, the area is loaded with great restaurants, and if I'd have brought my fishing gear along, could have fished at will. I am gloriously happy here. I am also happy in Counce, Tennessee when on fishing trips to Pickwick Lake, and am happy when in Spanish, Ontario, Canada and Saulte Ste Marie, Michigan. How about you??? Maybe I'll learn some new spots to try.
January 27, 201511 yr Great American Ball Park. Selling beer at the Reds on a nice warm day really have given me true joy. Fleming County. Buddy has cabin/house right on a "lake" that we down to for "Guy's Weekend" at least once a year. Country music, cornhole, grilling out, and beers. Great tradition we have.
January 27, 201511 yr If we are talking vacation spots, then I am happiest in St. Maarten. Mr. Cat and I are dying to go back. I'd love to live there even! If we are talking just random places besides home, I would say being in the woods with Mr. Cat at our "fortress of solitude".
January 27, 201511 yr Keeneland, I really feel something special when I'm there. Seapines in Hilton Head, Mutt Lynch's in the Balboa Peninsula section of Newpot Beach. Haleiwa, a little town on the North Shore of Oahu.
January 27, 201511 yr It was pretty darn impossible to not be happy in St. Lucia, so I'll go with that.

I haven't been to Gulfstream in 25 years, my mother's side of the family had race horses growing up. We would visit Gulfstream, Caulder, and Hialeah in the winter, then Arlington Park in the summer. I hope you enjoy the rest of your trip!
January 27, 201511 yr On the Beach in Punta Cana, Dominican Republic Closer to home my dad has a cabin in Fleming County on the licking river, if you want peaceful this is the place.
January 27, 201511 yr Places don't make me happy, even home. The people I'm with, do. And sometimes I'm happy just being with myself, anywhere.
January 27, 201511 yr Places don't make me happy, even home. The people I'm with, do. And sometimes I'm happy just being with myself, anywhere. Wise words rat. And I wholeheartedly agree.
January 27, 201511 yr Author Places don't make me happy, even home. The people I'm with, do. And sometimes I'm happy just being with myself, anywhere. Basically, I'm not a people person, and certainly not a groupie. I prefer going places alone, (movies, vacations, Vegas, here in Miami) calling my own shots, going where I want to go, when I want to go there. I am sometimes most agitated when with a group being herded like livestock, or even with a group of my friends on a cruise. Basically, I'm selfish. I'm also single, which goes hand in hand.
January 27, 201511 yr I was stupid happy sitting in a natural hot spring at the base of Arenal volcano in Costa Rica.
