The majority of respondents (87 percent) who plan to visit Florida’s Gulf Coast said they have not changed their travel plans in the last 30 days for any reason and of those, 58 percent said they are unlikely to change their plans as news of the oil spill in the Gulf develops. Among the 13 percent of respondents who did change their travel plans, none attributed those changes to the oil spill, with most citing financial or other reasons.

Living on " Fantasy Island "!

Whoever watches TV and reads knows what is going on!








Instead of house in Cape Coral, buy yourself an alarm clock to wake you up on time!

Yoko - I can't understand why you're so virulently and consitently negative on every aspect of discussions on the area. Some insight?

He's never been here maybe? Maybe he lives there and has been busted by the code enforcement fuzz for tall grass?

E, did you or did you not read that? Or were you just trying to illustrate what could happen, as was that author?

There is NO oil on Sanibel. Not now, not last week. Probably never will be.

Let me be clear - There is no oil on Sanibel Beaches right now. All the pictures I've displayed here were taken in Louisiana. I write this article today, before the damage is done. I write this article today to make you confront what's at stake for us. I write this article today because we need to consider the value of our natural resources and take action to preserve them for future use and enjoyment.
