Sunny everyday.
Perfect golf and cycling weather.
Christmas with family in Sarasota. 
Priceless.  

Rented a road bike for me and a hybrid for Lisa from www.siestasportsrentals.com.  They (the company and the bikes) were great!  Logged many kms (Thu 16k; Sat 32k; Sun 26k; Mon 6k; Tue 24k; Wed 32k; Thu 52k; Fri 33k; Sat 28k) for a total of 251km.

Play a few games of golf.  On the last day, 13/14 drives were big, long and in the fairway or at worst very close and in play.  We won't discuss the other one.  Never ever drove the ball better!
