Water fun- Tip of the day

cindyo · 03-16-2008, 09:01 AM

Hey, for those of you out there that like to float,...Why pay $10 a day to rent a float? Just pack in your suitcase a swim ring or two and take them with you. They can be purchased at Target, they ly flat in your bag, and cost like $3.29 a piece. They are near the toy aisle and down the swim stuff...goggles etc.
We take 4 each year,use them for the 2 weeks and then hand them off to some family at the resort to enjoy. We float everyday. Buy the 36" for adults. The 24" is way to small ( for me anyway...hahaha). You have to picture me trying to sit on the 24", comical to say the least ! I should have been on AMerica's funniest videos. Also, take a sharpie and write you name or something on it. Lots of people are taking them now....

Cindy, how do you prevent them from blowing away?

Lisa, we secure them by putting them under one of the small table legs or drape the towels over them....
