Dawn,
All those Florida places sound GREAT!! I have heard so much about Naples, Marco Island, Sannibel, and Ft. Myers. I've only been to Miami on business while I was working, Fort Lauderdale (liked it), and Pompano Beach when I was in college. I did not like being in warm weather at Christmas, however. Just didn't seem right. We went deep sea fishing on a boat that winter and most people got seasick, but my dad and I didn't! So many of my friends go to Florida in the winter and continue golfing which I cannot do here in the winter, of course.
Bambi,
My son loves CO also. He has gone skiing there in the winter. Where did you work in Estes? I know the place basically shuts down during the winter (and opens up in the summer)!!
