KICKSTARTING OUR TRIPS FOR 2018 IN NAPLES

Eddie (my life & my everything) and I made a promise to each other that we would check off our bucket list of places to visit in the world. l’ll start with our 1st trip in 2018 to sunny Naples, Florida to visit some great friends we met in Curacao back in 2016, Cesar and Angelica. Kind of a unique story about that…Eddie and I were celebrating our 22nd year wedding anniversary, which just so happened to fall over Fathers Day (our grown kids gave us the hardest time for being gone). When we arrived and were checking in at the lobby, I noticed Angelica was wearing a Cubs shirt, of course sparking conversation. GO CUBS GO!! They were there for their annual Father’s Day trip with their friends and family, and we were welcomed in their group for the weekend….or they invaded our anniversary trip lol…regardless, we instantly became friends.

Ok, back to the story…We were greeted at the airport with a nice cold beer, and headed to Fort Myers Beach where we hung out on the beach, tipped a few beers back, and watched the sunset. We don’t have that in Chicago in February, we are used to brisk subzero temperatures, blizzards, and shorts in the same week, so to sit on a gorgeous sandy beach while its snowing back home was amazing to say the least….

One morning we all went on a walk for few miles, and we struck a pose to recap our NEAT (Non Exercise Activity Tracking) for the morning and made sure we got our steps in first thing. We did make a point to be active for the weekend.

Overall, our quick 4 day trip to sunny Naples was a blast with our friends showing us around town and building great memories…
