Ft. Meyers Beach to Miami, February 2007





We arrived in Florida mid December to a sunny 80 degree day! It felt wonderful.

We spent the next 3 months in Florida. Started out in Northern Florida; Old Town; from there we spent a few nights with my folks in Largo; next was Lutz; Miami; Punta Gorda; Homosassa; and then Milton.

Went spent the month of January in Fort Meyers Beach, Florida and met some really nice people. We took a boat to Key West with them for a day; and shared lots of evenings with them.

February found us in Miami; and a visit from some good friends of ours. Sally and John stayed with us for a week; and we took an airboat ride; saw the everglades national park; took a snorkelling tour; and just enjoyed the sun and fun of Florida.

March was mostly in Punta Gorta with Sally and John and the singing group "The Satiniques". Our 3 days quickly turned into 3 weeks; and we had a great time with the group. Felt like groupies there for a bit!

Stopped and visited my folks again en route to Homosassa and a visit with Mike's sister and husband. Toured around Tarpon Springs for a day; and also visited the Manatee Wildlife Centre there. Very nice place.

We posted lots of pictures of our time there; and that will help tell the story.
