Re: Reef Etiquette

I guess I will just never understand people who hide behind an avatar to attack and pass judgment on others.

So done with this forum.

Re: Reef Etiquette

That was taken nearly 10 years ago at Stingray City on Grand Cayman where we were encouraged to touch the stingrays, hand-feed them cut up squid and lift them out of the water to give them a kiss. I touched only, and only once. I've learned a thing or two since then.

Re: Reef Etiquette

IMHO, regardless of the "looks" you may get, keep educating those who are not "in the know." If you only educate one person, that's one person who may educate another person... and so on. :)

Re: A few pictures from Sanibel Island

Hi Pat! It will take you approximately 40 min. to get to Sanibel from Bonita Springs. The toll to cross the causeway is $6.00 one way (no charge to leave the island). I don't know about beach passes, but parking is $2.00/hr. and you pay at the kiosks in each individual parking lot (cash or credit ca...

A few pictures from Sanibel Island

I went exploring on Sanibel last Monday and took some pictures. Didn't get too far, but had fun anyway. Pictures can be viewed on my Facebook page here:

Re: Sanibel Island :)

I need to check out more stuff like the Historical Village and the library on my day off one of these days. I JUST found out about the Historical Village a couple of weeks ago and it looks super cool and interesting! I love stuff like that! Thanks for the review! :)

Re: Sanibel Island :)

The new coffee place near DQ (across the street from the gas station) is called Bennett's Fresh Roast and it's GREAT! I usually only get a small Columbian Bold to go, if I have time to stop on the way to work, but I believe they also do special coffees (lattes, etc.). They make their own donuts and ...

Re: Sanibel Island :)

I work on Sanibel Island in Periwinkle Place, and I have to say I agree with everything you guys have said! I haven't been to Grandma Dot's yet, but I'm getting to know all of the good places to eat! I am blessed to be able to cross the Sanibel Causeway every day and, on somedays, see dolphins! Two ...

Re: Looking for help facing end stage cancer

I lost a very good friend at the end of February due to lymphoma that was mainly in her brain. She seemed to be responding very well to treatment, then suddenly went downhill. Seeing as she was not close to me geographically, I don't know all that her family went through, but she went into hospice a...

Re: Survived another great time in KW! 4/1 - 4/6/14 trip rep

I've been to Key West twice since we moved to Fort Myers, but only spent the day & evening there, as we actually stayed on Marathon Key. We had an amazing lunch at Blue Heaven, but your report really gave me some new insight as to where to eat and bars to visit! Great report!
