Naples is HRS away from here. All we've had is a few rain bands come through.

Its 6.26 am here in Tampa. Its a bit rainey and a bit windy,and we still have power..Nothing to bad. We expect it to be all over with by lunch time..If there are no holdups at the airport, I would still make the trip. Going to be cooler this week, so should make for a more comfortable visit. We are two hours north of Fort Myers.,and forty mins from Ray.
Good luck....PS..Tampa is a great airport,one of the best.Easy to get in and out of.

Have decided not to go at the 11th hour, for a number of reasons, including I feel like I am coming down with the flu
Thanks for everyone's input, maybe I'll make it out there sometime in the future??

SWMBO wasn't too happy either, she informed me she has no desire to even think of moving to Florida due to the humidity, crime etc after I booked my ticket. Of course she's never even been there............. women

If crime's a big concern, why did she move to LA?

We are talking about trying to rationalize with a 7 month pregnant Finn here, the silent guilt trip was too much to bear.
I am so glad she doesn't come on this site
