Dunedin Florida: Dunedin Causeway: Sailing Hurricane Pass, Honeymoon Island

Dunedin Florida: Dunedin Causeway: Sailing Hurricane Pass, Honeymoon Island [click to enlarge] This image of serenity was captured on a recent day at the Dunedin Causeway. When I look at this photograph, I just want to go lay in the sun somewhere. I want to just lay down in the sun, and forget all my cares and worries. Wouldn't that just be cooler than cool. sigh.

The sailboat is headed in the direction of Hurricane Pass, which passes between Honeymoon Island and Caladesi Island, both of which are state parks. These are two very beautiful beach areas that we will visit together soon. Caladesi Island is only accessible by boat, and Honeymoon Island is accessible by car, over the Dunedin Causeway.

Dunedin Florida: The Patriotic Spirit is Alive and Well

Duendin Florida: Patriot VW Bug Painted Like The US Flag I spotted this VW Bug parked near the Dunedin Marina when I was walking back from the Dunedin Downtown Old Fashioned Christmas event. I have been looking forward to posting it ever since. I love this picture for so many reasons.

Let's review: First, it is a Volkswagen Beetle (Bug), and I LOVE VW Bugs! We've had numerous Bugs in my family over the course of the last three generations, and I would drive one again in a heartbeat. My own first was a '64 that ran on a 6 volt electric system.

Second, the way this baby is painted and decorated is AWESOME. I love the United States flag design. It's wonderful. And if you look closely, there are rope lights all over it. I just wish I could have gotten a picture of it while it was lit up. Not to mention the decal on the front window that says Greyhound Taxi.

Third, and finally, the front license plate. This is a license plate you can only get from Florida Blood Services. And what is the big deal there? Well, it recognizes the owner for having donated 26 GALLONS of blood! That is an enormous amount of blood donated. If you take it a step further, that means this person has saved a lot of lives!

Dunedin Florida: Downtown Dunedin: Decorated Light Poles Contest: SNOOPY!

Dunedin Florida: Downtown Dunedin: Decorated Light Poles Contest: SNOOPY! Depending on what generation you are a part of, you may well feel that Christmas just isn't Christmas without Snoopy! I was not able to find a Charlie Brown, or Lucy, or Pig Pen decorated light pole, but I am keeping my eyes open for them! I would love to see a Linus decorated light pole. I think he is my favorite of the Peanuts Gang.

Sadly, I must admit that I do not know what business or community organization decorated this pole. I will be working to find out. Someone asked if these poles make it to Christmas. Yes, it is my understanding that they will be up at least until Christmas.

Dunedin Florida: Homes and Housing: Home for Rent

Dunedin Florida: Homes and Housing: Home for Rent Getting back to homes and housing in the Dunedin, Florida area, here is a house in my neighborhood that is for rent. Or at least, it was when I took the photo! The sign said it had 3 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, and a 2 car garage. I am guessing it has about 1400 square feet of living space, maybe as much as 1600.

As for the neighborhood... well, you are about 7 minutes from the Dunedin Downtown area, driving. Also, about that from the Mease Hospital Dunedin. Another three minutes or so will get you to the Dunedin Marina. I would guess between 15 and 20 minutes from the Dunedin Causeway and Honeymoon Island. Right down the street, like a minute or two away, you will find Pizza Hut, Wendy's, Taco Bell, Papa John's, McDonald's and more. Three minutes away you are at Sweetbay, the grocery store, or at Ace Hardware. Oh my, where am I going with this? Oh yes, so it is a pretty good location. Close to a lot of things.

Oh, and perhaps most importantly... the sign says the rent is $1,295 per month. And I could go on and on about how close it is to things... like the mall, Westfield Countryside Shopping Town is only about 8 or 10 minutes away. So, just an idea of what is available. There are smaller homes in neighborhoods with smaller lots, and bigger homes with bigger lots, available throughout Dunedin and the surrounding areas. In the future, we will get to see more and more of them, so you can get an idea of what housing is like here... on the off chance you are thinking about relocation. :D

To see What's Happening, please scroll down to yesterday's post. Thanks.

Dunedin Florida: Downtown Dunedin: Decorated Light Poles Contest: Black Pearl

Dunedin Florida: Downtown Dunedin: Decorated Light Poles Contest: Black Pearl Another in our continuing series on the Downtown Dunedin Decorated Holiday Light Poles Contest. Wow, that was a mouthful. Kids, don't try that at home!

This pole, I am told, was decorated by The Black Pearl Restaurant. And what a snazzy, classy place it is. So it makes sense that this decorated light pole would have such a classy look. It's just beautiful, and that's all there is to it. I love that they have gifts hanging below the tree. After all, what is a Christmas Tree without gifts beneath?

We have seen some excellent decorating of light poles so far. There are still more to be found too! I would imagine judging a winner could be tough!

Dunedin, Florida Homes - Downtown area - Mease Dunedin Hospital

There are a number of attractive housing options near the Dunedin Downtown area. This is a cute bungalow in a neighborhood nearby. It's got some nice overhang on the eaves, and a welcoming front porch that all help keep the heat of the sun out of the house. Not to mention a beautiful tree shading the front yard. That front porch really does seem as though it would be a delightful place to spend a warm afternoon, catching up with friends and neighbors.

If you look just above the roof line of the house, you can see the top of Mease Dunedin Hospital a few blocks in the distance. Dunedin, Florida is lucky to be home to an excellent hospital, just a few blocks from downtown.

Dunedin Florida: Dunedin Causeway: Jet Skis!

Dunedin Florida: Dunedin Causeway: Jet Skis! Okay, at this point we know that you can sail off the Dunedin Causeway, in St. Joseph Sound or Hurricane Pass. We know you can ride bicycles on the Dunedin Causeway Spur of the Pinellas Trail. And I think I mentioned the jet skis... but I wanted to drive that one home to you. These things are fast and fun. At least, they look like a lot of fun.

Admittedly, I woul prefer a sit-down craft myself, like a waverunner. I can imagine that these get to be a bit much on the knees, with all that wave pounding, if you are not of an active nature. :) Either way, these two really seemed to be enjoying themselves. And there really is a lot of space out there, plenty of room for all manner of watercraft. So you definitely want to put it on your Florida Vacation list, or your after-relocation relaxation list, to check out jet ski or waverunner rentals.
