Fort Myers is One of the Top Florida Vacation Destinations

Many of you will find your way to Florida on one of your vacations. It would be a smart move to include Fort Myers in your travel plans. After all, it's one of the top Florida vacation destinations.

When I think of this lovely town I think of Thomas Edison and Henry Ford because they each had winter homes built there over looking the water. Ford’s home is called "The Mangoes" and Edison’s is named "Seminole Lodge". Both homes are available for tours and the Edison place includes his laboratory exactly as he used it. Old and young inventors will find this a treasure.

Just these two are worth the trip but there’s more. Baseball fans would find it wise to time their vacation to early spring to catch the Minnesota Twins and the Boston Red Sox in spring training.

As one would expect, you’ll find the area full of excellent resort hotels, restaurants, boating and my favorite, swimming. Remember, this is the Gulf side of Florida where the water temperature is perfect.
