We ate at Snug Harbor when we were there. It’s sad how many places are still closed after the hurricane, but it looks like y’all found enough open places to have a good time. I’d love the flea market to get all the things we don’t need. 😂. We were at a coffee shop with swings when in Florida. Love it. Looks like fun and delicious.

@ChasingOurSunshine Жыл бұрын

The Snug Harbor was a good one! A coffee shop with swings would be fun and less dangerous as alcohol isn’t involved! 😂 We are so glad we could find such fun and great places that were open again. It’s great to support the local comeback! Thanks- Joel, Deb & 🐕 Maya

Hi, seeing this video brings back so many memories. I commented on another one of your videos that I am from the Ft. Myers area however, now live in Texas. You were pointed in the right direction for many of the restaurants. The challenge is that many others that I would recommend are still rebuilding or not going to reopen. Of course, going to Fleamasters brings back many memories. I can remember when they opened.

Love the suggestions. We're headed to FL next winter. We've made reservations at some of the state parks for dec and January so far. I can't believe we've never been to Captiva, will have to remedy that next winter. Lighthouse is also on our list now as well. Swingers bar?!?! LOL That looks like fun too. Love all the happy hours. Good to see that things are coming along for the people of the area.
