 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.
