A few 'incidental' reasons may be important to know about my love of this place...
1. JAM have gifted us with several trips to this amazing resort.
2. I am pretty sure I couldn't afford for a week here for what the resort charges for a day.
3. That said, it is the most laid back, unpretentious, over the top, relaxing place on earth.
4. I am a water person and no matter what direction you turn water surrounds you. You are engulfed by the gulf!
I have been very fortunate to do considerable travel to some amazing places. England, Scotland, Italy, Switzerland, Canada, Austria and many places in the US. But of all those places, Captiva, FL is a repeat movie in my head, with the images circling through on a regular basis. It is family time, calm, warmth, comfort, water, tropical birds and plants, boats, long walks on the beach, easy living to be sure!
Do you have a 'happy place'?
