My daughter, my 3 granddaughters and I have just returned from a wonderful ladies vacation at the beach. It was my 4th trip to Port Aransas. Each time we have gone to Port A we have stayed at a different hotel/motel. Always looking for a nicer place to stay at an affordable price. This time we stayed at the Seashell Resort. What a wonderful place! Clean, well maintained and reasonably priced.
We all had a wonderful time! Lots of sun, salt water and sand. Unfortunately, we also had a little car trouble. One afternoon I was out on the beach with the granddaughters and my daughter, Lara, went into town to get lunch for all of us.
She bought a delicious pizza at Port A Pizza. Went to the car and it wouldn’t start. The restaurant has deliver service to the beach available, so Lara took a piece out of the pizza and had the remainder delivered to us. The manager, Paul (perhaps the owner, I don’t know) came to the rescue by helping with the car problem. He cleaned the battery posts and jump-started our car. Paul also recommended an honest mechanic to look at the car to make sure that we wouldn’t get stuck somewhere out in the middle of nowhere on our way home.
The auto repair business was called Tom’s Automotive. He changed out one battery cable and we were back starting and running again for under $40.00.
We were blessed by the amazing folks we had helping us! Thanks Paul and Tom, your our vacation heros!!!
