Rick, we usually go out for Bfast with the kids on the weekends but this Sunday we will be heading down to the Keys for a week, maybe next time.C5Rick said:Vicki has this Sunday off, :dancer01: so thought I would check to see if anyone wanted to go for a short drive or go out for breakfast. Sorry for the short notice.
C5Rick said:Vicki and I took 41 down to Ft Myers, stopped in Punta Gorda for breakfeast and shot back on 75. Not much traffic which made it real nice. :yesnod:
Backyard Mechanic said:Man I wish you would of said you were down in our neighbor hood,We would meet up with you.Sorry we missed you.
C5Rick said:If we decide to go it will proably be early mid October. Has anyone eaten at the Bubble Room. We stayed 100 yards from there, but never tried it.
That sounds good if im off work I would like to go. P.S. Why do you hate going north, I know a lot of cool twisty roads through brooksville to sharpen driving skills.C5Rick said:I was looking my calender and October 14th seems to be the best day for us to drive down Sanibel/Captiva way. However somewhat flexible after that date.

C5Rick said:When I was last at Captiva we stayed about 100 yards from the Mucky Duck, but I think it's closed on Sundays.
I'm going to make a Captiva Run post in a day or two.
Yea, No parking anywhere and I think it's $4.00 to park at any beaches.Rich427 said:Rick,
You are correct, the Mucky Duck is closed on Sundays. Here is a link to their website.

Parking is always an issue on Captiva. None of the restaurants on or around Andy Rosse have adequate parking. Here are a few options. At the four way stop at Andy Rosse, if you make a right and head 1/2 block toward Pine Island Sound you will find Captiva Cruises. They have paid parking, I think it is $5 and the parking lot is a sand/ground shell base. You can park there and then walk to the Bubble Room, Key Lime Bistro, RC Otter's, Latte Da, and Sunshine Cafe.
There is also a restaurant called the Green Flash and it is a couple blocks before the 4 way stop at Andy Rosse, and they have their own parking. I have not eaten there but have heard it has good food. It does have a view of Pine Island Sound. Here is the link to this place.

I hope this helps!
