Fort Myers and Cape Coral, Florida

Three other buddies and I just got back from Southwest Florida from a six-day vacation. Hard to beat plane fares, car rentals and motel rooms for $468 apiece.

We were all there to enjoy some warm weather after this lousy winter, although the other three are all big-time snowmobilers (although Sir Frank earned his pathfinder award when he tried to drive through mighty cold open water back in January).

We flew from Chicago's O'Hare on the 3rd, the morning after Blizz '11, one of only few leaving that morning. Flew into the Southwest Florida Airport.

Shoveling and moving four-foot drifts less than 18 hours earlier, now stepping out into 80 degree + weather. I can live with that.

Spent most of the time in Cape Coral, with side trips to Pine and Sanibel islands and Ft. Myers Beach.
