Captiva-ting Santa

SDP  12-20-11
If you're on the west coast of Florida this time of year, a must-stop is Captiva island. It's located less than one hour from  Ft. Myers with not a lot to do but relax -- and enjoy the Christmas decorations. They usually go up by Thanksgiving and I'm always excited to see Santa scaling this palm tree next to Tween Waters resort. I'm never quite sure what Santa is up to: picking fresh coconuts for a tropical drink...conducting reconnaisance in search of chimneys...or scanning the Gulf of Mexico for frolicking dolphins. Whatever he's up to, I love this jolly 'ol elf!

We've been to Sanibel and Captiva a number of times, but never at Christmas. I think we've missed something!

I think Santa is looking for his reindeer who somehow took a wrong turn and left him stranded... :-)

I pick coconuts for a drink.

Terrific, SRQ. I am thinking about what to do for New Years Eve and have heard that Tween Waters has a nice dinner that evening. Who knows?

It is so strange to see Father Christmas on a palm tree!
