Our time in Fort Myers is drawing to a close. Actually, it should have drawn to a close a couple of weeks ago but we've become so nicely settled in here that we keep delaying our departure. While Fort Myers is a great place to spend time we'll never get used to the constant sirens, shootings reported on the News (several a week) and the bridges over the river being closed because of "jumpers" (two since we've been here). Pretty unsettling for two small town Ontario bumpkins.
Not to say we're not having a blast! (no pun intended). Lots of golf is being enjoyed and my game is starting to pick up a bit. We drove up to the Port Charlotte area to visit and play some golf with Paul & Mary, friends from our home marina back in Canada. They are down here for several months in his motor home. We've enjoyed many dinner gatherings, regular visits to the local nature reserve with the camera, both spring training and college level baseball, surprise visits from folks on vacation from Ontario. Lots of fun! But that's one of the advantages to staying put in one spot for awhile. People can find us!

It's been a fun stay but we'll be outta here next week (we mean it this time) to head up the Caloosahatchee River (say that five times fast) to Glades, a boat storage facility in central Florida. There, we'll have Gran Vida hauled, washed and tucked in for her summer nap.
For us.... road trip.... yay!!!! We'll head north in the Mustang with stops in St. Augustine, the Barrier Island of North Carolina, and Brooklyn NY. Lots of fun things planned. We should be back in Canada mid April, just under the wire to keep our U.S. stay under six months.
