That little point between Naples and Everglades City is Marco Island. Maybe next week if you post this radar pic you can see my beer can reflecting in the sunshine.

The condos we are staying in sold for about $220K back in the late 1990's. You can't touch the same place today for under $750K or more. We got lucky this trip and rented directly from the owner. No real estate middle man which can double the price. And they are from Cinncinnati Ohio. Karen and I were on Marco Island in March of 1976...there was only a couple of old run down flat top houses back than and a beautiful beach. I hope I can post a few pics from down there on what it looks like today. It is amazing what the difference is. Lots of money down there.
We can only afford a week like the rich and famous people. 
P.S. I couldn't afford a 1000 sq. ft. lot at todays prices.

Scott, when I was a kid I spent many summer's and Easter breaks at the Grand Parents winter home on Marco, Early this year when the wife and I where in FLA, I took her to Marco to show the property they used to own. Its now a members only exclusive resort ! it is amazing how much its changed in 25 years....but here is my personal favorite sand bar in the Gulf....http://www.fortmyers-sanibel.com/gui..._fla&HBX_OU=50
Well this might surprise you but I agree 200%.
We usually make a day trip up to Sanibel Island everytime we go down. It's been 4 years since we have been there and I understand the hurricanes of 2005 cut the island in half from other people that have been there lately. We are planning to go up next week and see for ourselves.
I was dissapointed with Sanibel.....the wife and I went to Fort Meyers for our honey moon two summers ago.....the best part was Pincher's Crab Shack!...not the big one.....the small one in the stripmall on the east side of McGregor Blvd. Get the Grouper Sandwhich!
