 Hi Don & Karen,
 
Returned home yesterday from 'The Shores' to a chilly London @ 30 F 
(minus 1 C).
What a shock to the system having enjoyed a Floridian 85 F for 
virtually our entire stay, and what a wonderful stay it was in your 
lovely condo which is probably the best that we've had in our 25 odd 
years of visiting the USA..
If you will have us, all remains OK and God willing, we look forward 
to returning about the same time next year.
Thanks again and wishing you both a happy Thanksgiving holiday.
 
Regards,
 
Alan & Theresa Mead
London, England

Center. Fort Myers Beach occupies all of what is known as Estero 
Island, just 10 miles from both downtown Fort Myers and the 
Southwest 
Florida International Airport. The island’s south side faces the 
Gulf 
of Mexico and has miles of beaches. However, the best beach in the 
area is on Lover’s Key in the state park on the island. This is an 
excellent place if you are at all interested in nature as there are 
many birds living in the mangrove forests here. This also happens to 
be a great spot for shelling. The Estero Bay side of the island is 
best viewed by boat or kayak, either of which may be rented in the 
area. There are many uninhabited keys within the bay that play host 
to hundreds of different species of birds, plants and mammals. If 
you 
are interested in fishing you can simply cast a line from the piers 
and docks here in Fort Myers Beach or you can arrange a charter 
fishing guide to help you land the big one. If you are interested in 
seeing the coastline a bit more some popular day trips include 
Sanibel and Captiva Islands to the north or Naples to the south. The 
shopping and dining scene on Fort Myers Beach is excellent. There 
are 
many shopping plazas along the island from Times Square in the north 
to Lover’s Key in the south. And after a busy day enjoying Estero 
Island you can watch the sunset in the western sky from your own 
vacation home in Fort Myers Beach.
