Planes, No Trains, and Automobiles...(we made it here!)

Well, here I am, sitting in our hotel room. We are on the northern tip of Captiva Island. Our room is nice...a suite I guess. A separate kitchen, which is very small, bathroom, bedroom, living/dining room, a walk in closet in the bedroom, and a screened in balcony. The Gulf of Mexico is right outside our balcony.

The plane ride(s) here were wonderful and blessedly uneventful. (Thank you God!) As I watched the earth go by outside the plane window, I felt God tapping my shoulder and standing there wanting to show me his wonderful creation. I paid attention. We had a wonderful time, me and God.

Anyway. Tonight after we got to the resort, we went to eat at Matzaluna. A very yummy Italian restaurant on Sanibel. Greg had a delicious Chicken Parmesan and I had Fettuccine Alfredo with grilled chicken. Oh, soooo goood!! I was so full, I passed on the Snickers Cheesecake and believe me I wanted that cheesecake!! I brought leftovers back since we have a kitchen!

I still haven't been out to the beach. :-( We were so tired from getting up early to get to the airport and traveling just seems to wipe me out. Tomorrow. Tomorrow we will spend on the beach and in the room just taking it easy and enjoying being here. We stopped at a Publix in Fort Myers and stocked up on groceries. Oh! That reminds me. On the plane....you know how they usually only have coke products? (That's right Teri, I purposely did not capitalize it...heh heh!) Well, I asked for a Pepsi, just because I was feeling ornery. The "flight attendant" gave me a WHOLE CAN of actual PEPSI!! If the overhead bins weren't 5 inches from my head, I would have given her a standing ovation. I was so excited... Greg rolled his eyes at me.

I miss my kids and my pets. And my cell service is bad here. I got a text or two from Jacob but he had sent them way before I got them. And I had to go stand on the balcony to get enough service to send him a reply. That's annoying.

Well, I'm off to bed.

  1. Sounds awesome!! Would say I wish I was there, but that would be awkward! Enjoy, you little lovebirds!! Glad to hear you got there safely. Although I had already flight-stalked, er, tracked, you there. Have a drink or two for me while enjoying the ocean!!
