    I envy you being out in Rotonda for Christmas, Andrew. Always a great atmosphere with all the decorated houses especially the chap on the corner of Sunnybrook and Greenway. He started on his thousands of lights when we left in October! No sleigh on the roof yet!




    Can highly recommend going to the Edison/Ford homes in Fort Myers aound Christmas. The houses and grounds are beautifully decorated. Best time to visit is to arrive at 5pm. At 5.30 you can take a 'self-guided' tour for $5 instead of the mormal $15. Watch the sunset over the bay and then tour the grounds with the beautiful lights. Best $5 we spent on that trip.

    Wouldn't waste anyone's time on this one, I have stood there and waited for the paltry few boats that sailed along, far too far out into the Intracoastal in the dark for anyone to see anything. Waste of time.

    Well I am really envious. Christmas on the Gulf Coast must be something special. Might make it one day.
