My step-father's parents owned two condos on Sanibel. We visited there a few
times when I was a teen. Sadly, they sold them to help fund their
retirement, and that was that. It's a beautiful place. Mosquito capital of
the world as well if I remember correctly. You never read that in the
brochures. :-)
