Boca Raton, FL #4

Ramona & I made our fourth trip to Boca Raton Resort and Beach Club, all expenses paid thanks to Primerica.  I estimate it cost them around $10,000 for everything, per couple.  In other words, it was really very nice.  Sometimes I think we are doing pretty well but a trip to Boca puts things like that into perspective.  We stayed at the "Yacht Club" portion of the resort.  Outside our balcony was a 200' yacht (more like a small ocean liner) and it was four floors.  There was, what appeared to be, a small door on the second floor.  As soon as a person emerged from the door, I could see that it was a full sized door.  The person was dressed in the yacht's uniform with white gloves carrying a silver platter of goodies for the rich owners.  The moorage here is $7.00 a foot a day.  So that comes out to $1,400 a day just to park.  That's a mere $511,000.00 a year in parking fees.  Perspective anyone on how well you are doing?

The founder, Art Williams, spoke and he didn't miss a beat.  It reminded me so much of the old days that were so fine.  He is one of a kind.  Art Williams At Boca.  What a great trip.
