EO Burgers
After a forgettable meal in Fort Myers Beach, we returned to EO Burgers in the Bell Tower Shops mall in Ft Myers. We had dined there (yes, I use the term “dined” for a burger place) in the first few weeks of our stay, liked it very much, and wanted to return before we headed … Continue reading
Fort Myers Beach
Jett and I have been living in Ft Myers Beach for nearly 5 months now, but we don’t live on the beach. We have driven down the Estero Blvd – the only street that runs the length of the beach – but never actually saw the beach, walked the beach or dipped our toes in … Continue reading
A really fine piña colada
On Friday Jett and I were out-and-about, running errands in preparation for the trip north. One of those errands was getting Rusty groomed. Another was getting Jett some new shoes. We finished getting the shoes before Rusty was finished being groomed, so we decided to have a late lunch at the Bahama Breeze near the … Continue reading
We miss it already
We have one week left in our 5-month season at Gulf Waters RV Resort and we are missing it already. We would love to come back again next year, but are committed to being somewhere else. The main reason to go to another park next year is that we want a lot of flexibility. We … Continue reading
The Edison-Ford winter estates
Jett and I are nearing the end of our third winter in Florida. And for three years we have had the Edison-Ford winter estates on our “to do” list. Finally, last week, we actually did the tour and got that particular item off of the list. Thomas Edison wintered in Ft Myers for many years. … Continue reading
Alligator Alley and Collier-Seminole State Park
Jett wanted to see “Alligator Alley” – the 80-mile stretch of I-75 that runs east/west between Naples and Miami. It is, in fact, the longest stretch of east/west interstate highway with a north/south (i.e., odd) route number in the country. A useless fact that perhaps you will find somewhat interesting… So it was Jett’s idea … Continue reading
CenturyLink Sports Complex
I missed the day on which tickets to the Red Sox spring training games at JetBlue Park went on sale and those tickets go very quickly. So when I realized that I couldn’t get any JetBlue tickets I turned my attention to the CenturyLink Sports Complex, the spring training home of the Minnesota Twins. While … Continue reading
Casino Night
Yet another fun night at Gulf Waters – Casino Night. A ticket ($15) bought $5000 worth of betting bucks and 5 raffle tickets. You could use them at blackjack, slots or, as I did, roulette. Two hours of play, then trade in your bucks for more raffle tickets ($1000 per ticket). About 40 prizes – … Continue reading
Gulf Waters RV Resort
It is official: we are spoiled. We will never again stay long-term in an RV park as nice as the Gulf Waters RV Resort. This place is a piece of heaven. We are about 6 weeks away from completing our 5-month stay and we love the place more every day. Ah, Gulf Waters! How do … Continue reading
Bunco
Jett and I learned yet another new game last night – Bunco. This is a game played with 3 dice. You can read the rules if you like, but it can be learned in about 2 minutes. We played with a group of 50 players at Gulf Waters RV Resort. There is money involved – … Continue reading
