It’s like coming home, sort of, although they always say you can’t come home again. But here, well, you really can. It is like we’ve not been away for 3 or 4 years now. Virtually everything is the same, same restaurants, same shops, same same. We are staying in a completely different location, though, right off the causeway on the Bay side, overlooking Punta Rassa and the mainland. The condo is really nice, 2 bedroom, 2 bath. Great kitchen and open floor plan. The lanai never gets sun, which is perfect – its even cold out there – but we’d rather that than the baking hot sun. Weather has been fantastic, 70’s during the day and low 60’s with a tradewind at night. Couldn’t ask for more.
We did the circuit of the island plus Captiva and Ding Darling on Tuesday, hung out Wednesday then did errands. Walked the beach on Thursday and went for our anniversary dinner at Il Tesoro on Friday. All in all a great 5 days. Will we come back? Maybe. It is so familiar and comfortable, but then again, so is Asheville in the winter, just a tad colder (but we also have a fireplace there, so, really who cares?).
Next up: Oceania Insignia and the Amazon!
