A bunch of the members are going down there to take the Mystery Dinner Train.

Most are staying overnight. I wanted to exploxe the area on Sunday, maybe ride to Sanibel Island

Anything else to see down there?

Never been there before myself.

I've been there many times, my older brother lives there. Been on the train as well - it was fantastic!

I can most likely come up for a meet.

We are staying at a Fairfield Inn and should be arriving there about noon.

There is an Irish Pub across the street, where we are planning on having lunch then hang out by the pool the rest of the day till dinner.

Let me know when and if you have an address and I will try to make it up there! Sounds like a good time.

Been many years since the wife and I have been to Sanibel. I would bet it is now nothing at all like we knew it. Used to be a great beach to snorkel for shells. I heard that one of the hurricanes separated Captiva from Sanibel. Is that still the case?

Rich,

Hurricane Charley went right through the middle of Captiva, but it did not separate Captiva from Sanibel. It certainly raised havoc with the vegitation on both islands, but more so on Captiva.

I know the Bubble Room (restaurant) was damaged and took a number of months before they re-opened. But I have been there a few times since, and cannot see any evidence of the damage that they had.

I don't know what it was like when you and your wife were last there, but my wife and I enjoy it and try to get over there every trip down to our house in Ft. Myers.

So, how did the trip to Fort Myers turn out? Where did you go and what did you see?

Crap don't tell me I missed it! Was doing a photo shoot today with a Ford GT, Camaro RS, 3 Vettes, and some other cars...
