First Trip to Captiva February 1989

 Feb 4-Feb 12,1989

Our first trip to the west coast of Florida was in February 1989. We stayed at the Comfort Inn near the causeway going over to Sanibel Island. Al was attending meetings at Yoder's so that is how we ended up in Ft. Myers. We flew into Ft. Myers airport and rented a Red Lebaron. We visited the Edison House, Sanibel Island and Captiva Island and drove through Ding Darling Drive and love seeing all the birds. We also spent time at Bowman's Beach. We had some great lunches at Oyster Bay (Ft. Myers), Chadwick's, and Lighthouse Cafe (Sanibel) and wonderful dinners at Gulf Shore, Veranda, Mike's Landing, Harbor, Melting Pot(fondue), and Nutmeg House (Sanibel). 

More details of this trip are in my trip journals.
