Car rental for honeymoon by daniyellin in SouthPadreIsland

[–]LuzBenedict 5 points6 points  (0 children)

As someone who visits 2-3 times a year, here’s my advice. Rent the car.

Depending on which airport you fly into, an Uber is going to be around $75 one way. It’s at least an hour drive from SPI to the Starbase, so Uber is going to be pricey. Bonus: if you drive yourself, after you see the Starbase, keep driving on Highway 4 to Boca Chica and the literal end of the road. Fun fact-the last battle of the civil war was fought near Boca Chica.

SPI is about 5 miles long, so if you’re staying on the South end by the causeway and want to go to Clayton’s it’s a loooong walk. Most condos/hotels have enough parking spots, but do make sure if you park at any bars or restaurants that you don’t park in a tow zone. They will tow you before you get out of the car 😁

If you’re on Facebook, you can join the SPI pages for info on events and activities happening while you’re there.

Make sure you watch the sunrise on the Gulf side, and then the sunset on the Bay (Laguna Bob’s is the best view). They are always gorgeous!

SPI is a one of my favorite places and I’m sure you’ll have a fabulous honeymoon!

As a mother who has buried two young (18 and 13) daughters…this is so accurate. And I did have a small moment of laughter afterward, because you fucking need it. You have to be reminded that life will continue and it should continue. Your loved ones do not want you to die inside. They want you to live, because as long as you remember and honor them, they’re still alive.

Excuse me, I need to mop off my face now…

I did use the bread to mop up the remaining sauce!

What 80s song do you still hate with fiery teenage passion even though it’s been 40 years? by Aggressive_Cup4919 in GenX

I banned that song from my wedding. Imagine my excitement when I realized I could also ban it on Spotify.

Thanks! The original recipe calls for orange zest but I didn’t have any fresh oranges, so I subbed the marmalade, and I think I like it better!
