Got back to the marina just in time to grab a couple Hurricane's and a couple beach chairs to catch the Green Flash at Sundown.

A perfect ending to a perfect day !

Gotta Luv it !

Had to look up Green Flash. My wife is excited to catch the Flash at sundown. We usually go out on the dock at Jolly Roger, sit on the bench, and watch the sun go down. The sunsets are BEAUTIFUL. We will be there in about a month.

Just got back from Fort Myers, FL. Depends on where you want to stay. Snowbird season usually ends at the end of April or May. Although, we noticed that since the US/Canada border is closed, a lot of the Canadian snowbirds didn't come south this year.

Your dogs may be well behaved, (we have 2) but check with a campground's pet policy before booking, call on the phone if you have to. Many are "Pet Friendly" but have restrictions on size, like not over 30 lbs. One that we stay at in North Fort Myers require proof of rabies shots.

Also, many "parks" are former mobile home communities with empty lots that were "converted" to allow RV's, but they are not big-rig friendly, mostly back-in sites.
