I must say.. I'm a smidge partial to Sarasota and Siesta Key. Just a smidge. But if I had to pick a second favorite Florida destination.. Naples wins! I really like the area.. good shopping, the beaches were nice.. and it was just an enjoyable place to be. And WARM! Mid eighties and sunny every day except one : )

| And the views for the WHOLE next week!! Love that fluffy white sand.. the sailboats.. the blueblue sky. |
It was, however, a bit of an adventure getting there, though. The trip down (yes, we drove!) took 26 1/2 hours and we made it home in 18 1/2. We came to a complete stop about 45 minutes south of Champaign and proceeded to sit there for 3 1/2 hours. Blech. But I was thankful we were safe. There were semis ditched and jack-knifed and overturned everywhere. Cars in the ditch. But, it was OHSOWORTHIT when we got there!! One week of sunshine and relaxation.. warm sandy beaches.. delicious food (bring on the seafood!!).. ya can't beat it!!
