THOUGHTS FROM THE EDITOR
EXHALE, UNWIND, RECHARGE...
Ahhh Sanibel. The place of shells,
of low rise buildings, a place where
cyclists have the right of way!
I'm lucky enough to have just
returned from a week on Sanibel with
my wife and kids. The previous time was
with my parents 25 years ago. With age
my memory has faded but I'm willing to
bet, if I dug out the photos, I'd find a place
which looks identical to that of today. And
yes... this IS a great thing!
Like me, our Sanibel Insider,
Darlene Armstrong, also first visited
this island around 25 years ago. The
difference is she returned year after year,
smart enough to know perfection when
she finds it!
With those years of experience
Darlene qualifies as the perfect insider. I can personally vouch for
that, having tapped her knowledge vault during our stay! The best tip
according to me? Aim to make your most stressful decision be about
turning left or right on the beach!
Darlene owns a 2-bedroom condo in Sanibel Surfside, directly
overlooking the gulf. Surfside, along with many other condos built pre
the 1974 line, is just steps from the ocean. So, as you contemplate left
or right, you can sip your morning coffee watching the dolphins!
Although we didn't stay at Darlene's condo (we decided on
Loggerhead Cay), she was instrumental in helping us decide and, with
every interaction, she oozed a passion for the island. An owner with the
perfect blend of passion and knowledge... an Insider! Happy reading!
