I stayed at the Flamingo 5 years ago. When I returned last year I was determined that that hill wouldn't KILL me... so I started walking (actually I'd lost weight the summer after I got back but still was not gonna fear 'the hill.') Then I realized I didn't have to walk the hill, I could cut through the Pelican. I also realized I didn't have to stay on the road around the greenhouse to get to other restaurants, but I could cut through the beach. So I'm more in shape but lazier! hmmmm....I'd love to return this summer and learn other useful things!
