Park/Sleep/Fly at the Holiday Inn Airport in Ft. Myers. Room will be at the end of our trip. We arrived here at 3:45 a.m. and were on the shuttle by 4 a.m. Flight at 6:20 a.m. Delta bag check and flights were great. Delta Comfort Seats ROCK!! Lesley of Kenny’s Rental Cars met us at 2:40 or so at the airport & we were off to Royal Palm by 3 p.m. A bit of a mix-up at RP resulted in us not getting into our room until after 4 p.m. Met Craig from Packlight to receive our rental phone for the week. I had asked for it to be preloaded with $10 of calling time but apparently he does not provide that service. It did have some time remaining from a previous user. I was told to buy a “top up” card if I needed more time and to reimburse them for the $5 of time already on the phone if I used it. Since the phone was for emergencies, we just didn’t need to make any calls all week. Beautiful unit #8403 @ RP. Great view. Unpacked & got a few groceries @ Market Garden. Dinner @ Pineapple Pete’s. Both of us had the Bacon Cheeseburger. HUGE!! Barely finished it.

Had a late breakfast at Chesterfield’s. Never disappoints. Groceries at Grand Marche. Noticed some changes due to it now being a Carrefour store. Back to RP for a pool day. Dinner @ Harry’s for roast meat night. I had the lamb and Cindy had beef. Lots of veggies & large servings of meat. Great meal, good service, and a good value. Off to Hollywood Casino for some entertainment.

Breakfast in the room. Pool day. Lunch at the poolside bar & restaurant. OK meal but very slow. Took nearly an hour for 2 sandwiches w/fries. They were not busy. I would hate to see it during high season. Dinner @ IZI. Cindy’s salmon & gnocci were excellent. My tortellini with sausage was outstanding. I had leftovers for lunch later in the week. Great service & food. Off to Princess for some entertainment.
