    It's funny I am reading this because my stepson is gearing up to visit one of his friends who recently relocating to Ft Myers. I wouldn't mind visiting myself after seeing your pics. I love shell-hunting too – this place looks like a goldmine.

    Being stuck in the frozen tundra, the first picture alone was enough to convince me! I am in need of warmth, sand and water!

    I used to live in Florida and now I like in upstate NY. I miss it in brutal winters like this! It really is a gorgeous state.

    Love the photos, beautiful. When I was a teen, my mom's friend had a house on sanibel beach. It was so fun to spend the week there and be a few foot steps from the beach.
