Fort Myers Beach was nice for pets and they are allowed on the beach. We liked the powdery sand. There were a bunch of bars on the beach and both the bars and restaurants didn't care what you were wearing: no shirt, no shoes, no problem. It was a real beach bum community. We stayed in a small room just off of the beach. The location was great.
This update will be all about the photos.

Another day, another beach. This was on Fort Myers Beach behind the hotel. I took the paddle board out for the first time.
 |
| Not many waves in the Gulf of Mexico. The water was murky because there was dredging nearby. Normally it is clearer. |
 |
| I guess you'll have to enlarge this photo to see me and the para-sailer in the background |

 |
| I got blown around a lot so I had to walk back to where I started a few times |

 |
| So I was paddle-boarding like this when a wave hit me on the side and knocked me off in 2 feet of water. I landed wrong and sprained my ankle. Yes, I sprained my ankle in the water. |
 |
| It's an 11 foot board |
 |
| I'm struggling not to get blown away holding the board in the wind |

| Board washed and deflated |

| Roll it up for easy transportation |
The rest of the vacation was eating junk food at the beach. We stayed four days and three nights. Just had to get out of the house for a few days. There was also a hangover involved in this trip so there was a good amount of time spent in bed.
