But the villa on the top is Estate Fortsberg and that's a wonderful villa. The view from there is to die for and the villa itself is great.

Fantastic report and pictures. The videos are also great. I have never seen an octopus, much less one feeding. I try to look when I dive and snorkel, but obviously not good enough. Good find also with the checkered puffer, scorpionfish and mantis shrimp. Thanks for sharing. Looking forward to the ne...

Thanks for sharing. Great pictures. Agree on the second shot.

This makes me want to go back to Kauai. But it's soooo far from us.

Thanks again! So many choices. We'll look in to these suggestions. Appreciate them. All those things are just what we like, biking, being outdoors, hiking, nature walks, birds, Aquariums, good food and some shopping. And B&J VA, I know we've met :D . We had a great dinner at the Mineshaft not th...

Thanks again all. We'll definitely be renting a car. I also think we'll be better off south west or the Keys. We have enough frost at home :). I will check the links iProf. Minde, Lido beach resort looks great and is definitely on my list. And so is Sanibel/Captiva. Maybe Marco. We've been two times...

Thanks Janet, it looks very nice where you stayed. I think we would like it there. I'm just not ready to book anything, as my ff tickets are possible to change for $20, so I'm kind of waiting to see if there will be other dates available except Thanksgiving. Floridagirl, Islamorada and the Keys are ...

Thanks for sharing. Great pictures. So sorry about Santorini, but luckily Greee has a couple of other islands to go to. Personally, I love Italy more, mostly because of the food. I get tired of the food in Greece after two days. But the islands are beautiful. Corfu is very pretty.

Thanks Janet! I was also thinking about Marco island. Never been there. It's a bummer with Thanksgiving for us, as we don't celebrate that and it will only mean crowds and higher rates, but I checked availibility every day in November for ff flights, and these dates were the only possible. Maybe we ...

Thank you. Will read the blog. Never been to Longboat Key or Naples (just passed) so I will look into that.

I'm still new to Florida, but I can recommend Fort Myers Beach, Sanibel & Captiva Islands, and I'm sure lprof would recommend Amelia Island. I've been reading Florida Travel & Life magazine and it seems like there are LOTS of great places in Florida, so you probably can't go wrong wherever ...

Florida in November

Hi! Just managed to use my frequent flyer miles on a flight from Stockholm to Washington (in business class :D ). This is from Nov 16-25. We were thinking about staying a couple of nights in Washington and then fly down to Florida someplace for 5-6 nights. Now comes the tricky part, I don't know whe...

Thank you for sharing. The pictures are stunning. Love Kauai. I also want to go back, but talking about long flights, it's 12 hours time difference from us. Or maybe 11, not sure :lol: .

Thanks for the report and your pictures are great as always! This bring back memories from our honemoon, which was spent in Kauai (Poipu). We went in June, so we were able to do the napali coast zodiak trip. Still remember the high swells. Even in Poipu it was high swells. Still, it was amazingly be...

I love my G11 too. Like you said Becky, it's great both above and underwater. Sometimes I think those uw cameras (lie the D10) is a bit of a compromize when it comes to quality of the pictures. It's VERY handy and easy when snorkeling but it doesn't take nearly as good pictures as the G12. We have a...
