Charlotte Harbor and the Gulf Islands is a lovely area in Southwest Florida.

Let me tell you in all honesty that I was truly impressed and I find myself daydreaming and planning a return (a week at least!) So for a world traveler that is a great sign right? 🙂

Even though I did a bit of research online, nothing prepared me for what I saw and experienced. It is simply gorgeous!

What I really loved was the fact that there are no crowds, no high-rise buildings and its inhabitants live peacefully and harmoniously with the environment.

What a nice change from the over hyped destinations on the East Coast of Florida (sorry Miami).

It is the perfect ecotourism destination for nature lovers. You can recharge your batteries and release all stress by being an active participant. There is so much to see and do like: sailing, kayaking and biking among many.

The following images were taken on my way to The Boca Grande Resort from a moving vehicle, nice results right?

Arrival at my HQ.

And this was waiting to quench my thirst…who can say no? 🙂

Many more adventures will follow, so stay tuned 😉

Have you been to Southwest Florida? Would you like to visit? 

Let me know!
