We made the provision run to Wal-Mart in Naples and that was on the list. It was an absolute car show in that parking lot and some of the hottest ladies in the world apparently shop there. :seasix:
We hit The Patio Cafe for dinner last night and Dolly's for breakfast this morning.
I gotta find a cheap liquor store as the Bacardi is runnin' low....:shots:

True, but you just have to know where to go.
I scammed a great hair cut this morning at a Mexican barber shop on Old Rt 41, near the Buffalo Chips Bar, for $10.00...
My dad knows where all said deals are located...
Oh, and the barber was a senora whose daughter was really easy on the eyes..:D

Food wise.... Cheddars is pretty good and have some nice drink selection.

Can't go wrong with Alehouse either

At 9 bar louie turns into a club and does 5 domestics for $5, incidentally tonight they are running their $1.00 burgers which is a nice deal.

If you like sushi, blu is good. There is also carrabas, long horn, Olive Garden.

If you want a good burger tomorrow, burger 21 or fosters is good too. There is also all fast food places.

I'd do Cheddars, bar louie, or ale house.

I will be at bar louie tomorrow night for their drink specials and to hit up them slims

Even if the place does not sell I told my wife to make sure she is ready to move out Early October. We can shut the place down and spend the winter in the Florida home.
