SPRING BREAK 2010 FT. MYERS





One of the last days of our recent Florida trip Lisa and I managed to get out to Ft. Myers Beach. To get there just get on Hwy 865 and follow the bumper to bumper traffic. Our first attempt the day before was foiled by the traffic so we detoured to Sanibel Island and Captiva, more to follow. On this particular day the traffic seemed to be moving a bit better, probably because we were about an hour earlier. Parking on the other hand is a different story but we spied a spot in a restaurant / bar parking lot from the bridge while creeping into town in traffic. Yes we needed a parking spot and we were parched and it just so happens we new the drinks were good at this haunt as we had been there when bringing Aqua Villa home from Forida. Once replenished with tropical libations and seafood snacks we were off to the beach. While we technically didn't step on the beach we did stroll out the board walk to take in the view. I will say that a twenty mph wind and cool water didn't stop the spring breakers from getting the most out of the vacations. Now, before you go all bongo, wongo Lisa, love of my life and chief photo editor had the camera for most of the day so the girls gone wild shots will have to wait. For the ladies there were plenty of shirtless hard bodied young men to admire and for the guys it was like living life from inside a Venus swimsuit catalog. The only down side was,I think I may have sun burnt my eyeballs a bit. Oh to be young again and full of energy. I'm pretty sure if I hadn't been cruising the depths of the north Atlantic when I was their age I would have been right there with them. You just have to trust me there's not a lot of beaches in Scotland,and even if there were I just can't picture those Scottish lasses playing beach volley ball in thong bikinis with unshaven underarms. Sorry for that visual. Back on the main drag we searched through the shops to find the usual vacation T-shirts. When our shopping urge was fulfilled we decided to quench our thirst one last time before heading back to the mainland.
