Florida-Twice
Next week I am driving with my elderly mother to Sanibel, Florida, where she will spend six weeks away from winter. I will rest up for a coupla days, and then fly back to Wisconsin. At the end of February, I will go back and spend a week there, and we will drive home together.

Re: Florida-Twice
That sounds like a good plan, Dave. I hope your Mom enjoys her 6 week visit in the Florida sunshine. 
Re: Florida-Twice
Am back in Florida until Sunday. Weather has been sunny and warm- mid-80's. It's really nice here, but I don't have anywhere to shoot.

Re: Florida-Twice
Yup. Beautiful place, but they have definitely perfected the art of separating visitors from their money.

If around Ft Meyers, check out the fast ferry to KW.

I'm thinking the nice folks in Key West are REALLY good at separating folks from their hard-earned dollars.Henry88 wrote:If around Ft Meyers, check out the fast ferry to KW.

Re: Florida-Twice
The problem with visiting FL is most folks never see the "Real Florida". A few years back I had a buddy from RI come down. Being a fishing guide I took him into the backcountry to do some fishing. We took some nice snook, reds and a few small tarpon (10-20 pounders). I also did the wildlife tour of manatees, dolphin and exotic birds. The thing that amazed him most was how I was able to navigate by boat through mangrove islands and know where I was going (I don't do electronics, old school use a compass and what brain cells I have left). You will never understand the allure of FL by visiting the likes of Key West, Sanibel, etc. I guess I need to post up some pics but it is such a PITA "small sizing" everything so this site will accept it.
Re: Florida-Twice
Bugs, yes you do need to post some pics of real Florida. And, next year if I come I will stop by for a tour.
