Mariner Boathouse Beach Resort

Horny little lizzards!

by tpangelinan

Each morning we woke up, grabbed our cup of coffee, went out to the pool sat down, relaxed and drank our coffee and each morning the big lizzard was try to get the little lizzard. they would do this cat & mouse thing for at least 15 minutes, I would get up go get my camera and of course by the time I got back it was all over and gone. So this morning I had my camera as we went out to the pool and there they were again do their dance. Just thought it rather strange to see and thought I would share it. When we were living in Delaware we didn't have lizzards running around, but here in Georgia is a different story.

Go to see the J.N. Ding Darling Wildlife Refuge

by tpangelinan

We highly suggest going over to Sanibel and visit the J.N. Ding Darling National Wildlife Refuge. If you love bird watching and wildlife it is a must do, you can do a drive, bike or walk through. entrance is $5 per car, $1 per bike or hiker and kids under 15 free. If you have a Golden access passport, Golden age or National park issue card it free, I flashed mine and went right through. It's a go at your own pace, nice easy drive and you can stop any where long the way. Look closely because the wildlife is there. this is a great way to spend the afternoon and educate the little ones. We saw many types of birds even an Osprey mama & baby. Enjoy the relaxing 4 mile drive through the refuge and take time to stop and look around you may be supprised at what you see.

"fort myers beach"

fort myers beach is located south west of fort myers on estero island. of interest to the tourist is it's beautiful beach and salt water fishing. the town of fort myers beach has numerous hotels, restaurants, and bars. fort myers beach is not as upscale and is less expensive than nearby sanibel island and captiva. fort myers beach attacts families and tourists on a budget. as with all southwest florida beach towns hotel prices are much higher in the winter tourist season.

Fort Myers Beach

"GREAT VIEW"

Bad beach day high winds and cloudy. My pictures of this visit were poor quality like this one for some reason so This is all I have. ( There had been the tail end of a hurricaine just before we arrived.) We stayed a month and the weather was very warm except for this one day.
The sun sets here were out of this world and there was a tour sail boat with red sails that always went out to sea at sunset. You know the song "RED SAILS IN THE SUNSET". It always came to mind.
Every morning we would get up early and take a 2 mile walk down the beach one way and the next morning the other way. I had had a heart valve replacement the year before so had to do a lot of walking to exercise.
There were seadoos for rent, a lighter than air aireoplane to give you a tour of the beach area which stretched for 8 miles also a parachute ride pulled by a high speed boat.
It was not safe at that time to walk around the streets at night ( robberies were common). No one was allowed on the beach after dark and there was a constant police patrol of the beach.----------------------------------------
We were about 10 minutes by car from the city where every type of service was available and great restaurants.----------------------------------------------
More expensive here than in Daytona for Hotels, Motel
