Just wanted to share with everyone about Baby V's Homecoming! Here in Fort Myers Florida - she arrived yesterday (Friday). She went to the local radio station, then off to Walmart to sign autographs. There was over 1000 people waiting for a chance to see her. She did not have enough time to sign them all. Then she was taken by a 75 foot yacht to our local park where over 5000 people were waiting for her! She looked great! They said that the only thing she really wanted to do while she was home was drive her own car, but they wouldn't let her because she doesn't have tinted windows and they were afriad she would get mobbed by people. She sang two songs and the crowd went wild! I have lived here for 20 years and have never seen so many people at that park! Our Mayor also gave her the key to the city, of course and made if Baby V Day! Just a side note, my daughter and her best friend that are 8 years old, pushed their way thru and even got past the "special section" of where her family was sitting right in front of the stage. They were right in front of her, she even shook the friends hand. I don't think they will ever be the same again!!! So I just wanted to share with everyone out there about her day here in Beautiful Fort Myers Florida!

I'm sorry. This is a little off-topic. But my family has planned a vacation at Fort Myers (beach) this July. Can you tell me a little "insider" info on your area and town?
Wildlife, sea turtles, dolphins? Best place to see?
Thanks!

There is a place called "Ding Darling Wildlife Perserve" on Sanibel, but be prepared to pay $6 toll to get to the island. There is a small zoo in Naples - that is about 30 minutes south of Fort Myers Beach. We have the Edison Home - that is pretty cool to see. We really don't have dolphins - you need to go to Sea World in Orlando to see those. Go to the Fort Myers City website and they have information on what to do.
