Noah Genda remains at Moss Marine in Ft Myers Beach while we spend a few wonderful fun filled days in Naples, Fl. with our good friends Doug and Diane Johnson at their beautiful condominium. Doug and Diane have extended the warmest reception, introducing us to this highly desirable location with restaurants, shopping, sunsets, and sightseeing . We had a wonderful afternoon on their Tiara boat with Doug’s niece Erin. We saw some of the most spectacular residential areas of Naples with homes that are large enough to be hotels. Several large dolphins entertained us with huge leaps out of the water.
We just cannot get over the huge growth of this community over the last 35-40 years. The Naples history has been an education beyond comprehension. We extend a huge thank you to Doug & Diane for their gracious hospitality. It has been fun sharing the Xmas holiday with friends from home. We have so many great pictures; it will be hard to select ones for the blog.
A marine refrigerator that will fit through our boat door has been located in the Ft Myers area. It is scheduled to be installed on “Noah Genda” the week after Christmas. We are keeping our fingers crossed that this is a success story and we won’t have to start our search over again.
The week after Christmas will be busy in Fr Myers connecting with family and friends from home. Our son Gary and family are due here 12/26 which we are looking forward to seeing them along with several friends from the Quad Cities. We certainly missed all of our family over the holiday.
The weather remains spectacular and we are truly enjoying south western Florida.
Merry Christmas to everyone.
Tom & Diann
