Florida with a difference - with a dash of NYC too.
Well it’s pre-trippie time, and for the second year running, I’m managing to write this prior to our arrival at the airport hotel the night before we travel. Believe me, that is such an achievement!
It’s a shock to realise that it’s been 7 years since I last did a Florida trip report, as all of my more recent trippies have been based in other parts of America or Canada. Therefore, here’s a very quick introduction for those of you that don’t know us. I’m Jo and my husband is Martin. This is us on last year’s holiday at Lake Louise. This is a very different Florida trip for us this year for many reasons. Here goes:
With no firm plans in mind, we’ve come to the end of the pre-trippie very quickly! I don’t know whether I’ll end up doing a full trip report, as I’m not sure yet whether there will be enough content, so I might do a condensed version in one thread instead. Will see what we end up doing. If anyone has any must do’s for the Cape Coral area, in case we end up getting bored of relaxing, feel free to let us know.

Sounds lovely! We went to Cape Coral years ago, we loved it, had a villa backing onto a canal. A great restaurant was Rum Runners but I don’t know if it’s still there.

Thanks Selina. I think I’ve read about Rum Runners somewhere else so it might still be there.

Sounds like it will be a fab break, I hope you both get the relaxation you're looking for. A shame the original villa fell through and you've ended up paying more than you intended but oh boy that pool looks huge!

Hi Jo
Thanks for sharing. Sounds like a fantastic trip planned. Hope you both have a very relaxing time. Sounds like it will be well-received! We've booked a villa on the Gulf Coast too, although we're in Rotonda West. We're also looking forward to lots of R and R. This is our first time in Florida without visiting Orlando. Have a great time!

Hey Jo. Hope you are ok and life is treating you all kinder than last year.
Sounds like a lovely holiday but a bit of a faff on the accommodation front. Glad you got it sorted. Have you have a fabulous time and look forward to reading about it x

I’m sure it will be great, and I love the look of the villa, so all’s well that ends well.
Hi Mel. Yes it’s definitely what we need and we are so looking forward to it now. Just 3 more work days to get through first. Thank you. Sounds like we’re sharing similar holiday plans again this year! It’s becoming a habit. I’m sure we’ll both have a great time and love our different Florida holidays. Thanks Amanda. It’s certainly been a tough time, but we’re trying to carry on as best we can, albeit with a few battle scars. You must have a few of those too! Hope you’re doing ok and your recovery is progressing well. X

Thank you. We’ve just checked into the airport hotel. It still doesn’t seem like we’re going on holiday - we’re just not used to going at this time of year!
