Sometime next February or March, my bride and I will be in Bal Harbour
and we've been toying with the idea of driving west on I-75 to Naples,
and then north to Tarpon Springs, and then over to Orlando.

Questions:

Is there anything worth stopping for on I-75? I've never been in that
part of Florida (across the bottom of the state, as it were)?

Is Naples worth a day or two? If so, what would you recommend seeing or
doing? What seafood restaurants would you recommend?

How about Cape Coral?

We prefer "venues" the locals frequent.

I've got an old friend in Tarpon Springs, so we're set for there.

Thanks.

Not much to see in Naples, unless you want to see swamp buggies.

Alligator alley:
Ah-Tah-Thi-Ki Museum, it's at the Big Cypress Reservation about an hour
from Ft. Lauderdale.

Also there, if you want to stay in an authentic Seminole chickee hut,
there is Billie Swamp Safari, pretty cool place, it has a little eating
establishment called Swamp Water Cafe, very good catfish.

You should stop in Tampa for a meal and go to La Teresita, the REAL
deal in Cuban food.
