Even though I have been sick since Saturday I am going to try and run in the Easter Beach Run this weekend. You can choose a two or four mile run along the “World’s Most Famous Beach”. I chose the 2 mile run! I have been trying to run after work so that I won’t be the walker in the group of friends I am going with. I doubt I will get out and run much this week. Oh well, it will be fun! It will be a nice way to build up the 5K I am running in next month with the people that I work with.

Fortune magazine is reporting that beach houses have fallen in price by 25% - 30% in the panhandle of Florida. If you have been to the panhandle, you know how beautiful the beaches are. The sand is white and water is clear and beautiful. I vacationed to Panama City Beach last summer. The color of the water was so pretty it was hard to take your eyes off of it. We stayed in a 2 bedroom oceanfront condo that rents for $900 a month from December to March. If I didn’t have a job I would probably be there!

They also mentioned that developers over built in Turks and Caicos, so prices are down there also. I went to the Beaches resort in Turks & Caicos in 2004. It was the most beautiful water I have ever seen in my life. It was literally breathtaking. If I had a lot of disposable income I would look into property there. Maybe when I am closer to retirement… (sigh)

The article goes on to say about the risks of buying beach front property in Florida. Hurricanes, rising sea level, etc..

That is risk that I am willing to take. I want to go home everyday, sit on my balcony and listen to the waves crash in. If I lose it all then that was God’s plan and I will have cherished everyday that I have spent there.
