Texas Transition


From the upper Laguna Madre to the lower Laguna Madre.
From a postage stamp, sliver of land to the plushy spring break destination of South Padre Island.


From a one-room cabin to a three-bedroom hotel suite at The Inn at South Padre.
From a cold-water, gravity feed, cistern shower to a 102˚ jacuzzi hot tub.
From crap 3G to WiFi and 100 channels on the TV.
From a 23-mile boat trip for gasoline to walking-distance bar-hopping along the SPI strip.
From meals on a tortilla to dining on linen at Marcello's and the Sea Ranch.
From PBR and Lonestar in cans to margaritas and turbo piƱa coladas in fru-fru stemware.


From chasing Texas redfish with friends to chasing Texas redfish with friends.
The important things didn't change.

I'm guessing this is your way of saying you had a great time? Wish we could have all been there.

That margarita on the rocks looks awfully inviting

You bet, Howard. A great time. I wish the same.

Thanks Emily. Certainly was a change.

You know it, Mat. But it was the turbo pina colada that tickled my fancy.
