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.

Got trapped in one spot on 75 just east of Naples for 6 hours last year
because of a truck accident. Floriduh must have the lousiest traffic
control in the nation.

Why am I not surprised that Kevin would consider a place with the name
"billie" and "swamp" in it as cool

Deming NM has more going for it than Naples, Floriduh.

I don't know if he does, but I do. Have you ever been there? Have you
ever spent the night in the Everglades in a chickee hut? I did, and
loved it. Had a great time.
