A great relationship is about two things: First, appreciating the similarities, and second, respecting the differences.
He’s been here on our beach every year, sometimes on the deck next to us and sometimes on the beach. I know, I know some of you might say it’s not the same one but don’t burst my bubble. I like to believe it’s George.
Breakfast this morning was at Sunliner Diner, one of our favs.

Mostly the same. One difference: cutlery is now given to you in a small paper bag with their logo on it. Covid I’m assuming. We ordered our usual. Richard got the Corned Beef Hash and I got an omelette. Funny how the mind works. When our food arrived I was sure the servings were much smaller. I looked back at photos from 2018 and you guessed it. The serving sizes looked similar. And silly me. I forgot to take pictures this morning. You’ll have to take my word for it. Here are the photos from 2018. Still basically the same meals with some differences. Back then Richard’s corned beef was cut smaller and I had grits and fried green tomatoes. Today I replaced them with a fruit cup and Richard had fried eggs instead of poached. Things change.
Comparing the cost of the trip to Gulf Shores from PEI in 2018 to 2022.
- Bridge toll 2018: $48 2022 $50.25
- Gas. 2018: $246 2022 $373.98
- Hotels. 2018: $260. 2022 $190.23
- Food. 2018: $282. 2022 $140.66
Guess this needs little explanation. We learned from the first trip. We can do the trip in three days and two nights if the weather cooperates. Bring protein bars so we don’t stop to eat midday. (Have a free breakfast at the hotels and get the evening meal from a grocery store or a chain restaurant.)
