Our final two-plus weeks in Naples were much the same as our first month and one-half at the resort … although many folks have left for home, some directly into some pretty lousy weather!
In addition to the daily continental breakfasts, Margareta Mondays, Meet-and-Greet Friday socials (where drinks and hors d’ouvres are on the house), biking, golf, Jazzercise, 4:00 PM Thursday Happy Hours at Carrabba’s with friends, a couple of themed dinner dances,
two additional trips deep into the Everglades, with its unspoiled views and abundance of up-close-and-personal wildlife encounters.

and last, but not least,
A gorgeous full moon.
and late afternoon views of the resort’s fountain through our windshield.
Meantime, I’ve gotten hooked on what is American’s fastest growing sport … Pickleball (a racket sport in which two to four players use solid paddles made of wood or composite materials to hit a polymer perforated ball over a net. The sport shares features of other racket sports, the dimensions and layout of a Badminton court, and a net and rules similar to tennis with a few modifications).
Tomorrow we begin our slow trek north, visiting friends and family along the way and hoping to stay clear of tornadoes, high winds and any sort of cold weather!
