Wednesday - Friday April 2 - 4 Fort Myers Beach and environs

Uneventful flight into Mt Myers; picked up rental car and on our way!

Calamity! My trusty netbook appears to have died. Got wet from a leaky water bottle in my backpack. Never revived.

After hours of researching how to get my phone keyboard to print punctuation marks while doing talk to text, I finally figured it out on day three. The day we have boarded the Nieuw Statendam for our trip. 

I will not bother to tell about our 3 days in Florida prior to the cruise except to say that the weather was great and we had a nice explore around Fort Myers, Sanibel and Captiva Islands. We visited the Edison museum, Ding Darling Nature Preserve, Lehigh Acres, Waffle House, Lake Ochechobee, and more.

We stayed at this odd place called Latitude. Former motel turned AirBnb. Reminded us lot of Kingsale in Marathon. Awesome sports bar next door!

On Saturday we drove over to Ft Lauderdale, delivered the car at the airport and were met by the Holland Rep for our ride to the hotel, the Element.  Easy peasy!

We think this was Sam's dad's house in Lehigh.
