I love my holidays.

I go on several each year. Usually long haul, occasionally Europe.

I love exploring different places and experiencing different cultures.

Generally i prefer to visit a warm climate and get some sunshine.

Of all the places in the world that i have been, one stands out as a clear favourite - Sanibel island, Florida.

I've been 15 out of the past twenty years.

Why?

The weather. Its fairly quiet. It's picturesque. It has great wildlife, great beaches, good accommodation, decent restaurants, no fast food chains, no high rise buildings.
The locals think I'm cute because of my English accent and in my experience, without exception all have been very friendly.

There are plenty of different attractions, including its reputation as one of the three best shelling beaches in the world.

There's lots more I could add, but the thing I love more than anything else is the totally relaxed atmosphere and lack of pretentiousness. I go everywhere in shorts and a T shirt. I only need to take hand luggage for two weeks stay.
I don't feel the need to dress up to go anywhere.

I'm going again next friday and I can't wait!

The only downside will be sitting at the very rear of a Virgin 747
