If the beach isn't your cup of tea, there is a crystal blue swimming pool the over looks the harbor and is perfect for sitting back and relaxing. Surrounded by palm tree after palm tree, you are sure to be in awe. The Red Roof Inn is also located in a very good area if you are looking to explore the local area for some good food. Right across the street there are a number of BBQ restaurants as well as some more fancy restaurants. The choices are unlimited. the Red Roof Inn is very affordable and only cost around 50-80 dollars a night which is well worth the money with the amazing view from your room.
If you are in search of something do to while in the city of Fort Myers, I would highly suggest you check out the Gene Cusic Classic which brings division 3 colleges from around the country to play baseball for a week to start their seasons off. Nichols College made their way down to Fort Myers for the Classic and faced off against schools from Vermont, Wisconsin, Pittsburg and Maryland to name a few. The talent that is on display is like non other. With over a hundred schools participating, there is guaranteed to be a game being played.
Even if college baseball really isn't your thing, there are major league spring training complexes scattered all around the Fort Myers area. The Red Sox, Twins and Rays are all less then 30 minutes from each other. Fort Myers is sure to have you not wanted to ever leave. With temperatures in the mid 70s and even 80s this time of year, there is no where else that can beat it. Fly out of Boston's Logan International Airport and it is an three hour flight down to Southwest International Airport in Fort Myers. Round trip which is room and board and the flight both ways should only cost you around 900 dollars for an entire week in the sun. You cannot beat those prices these days. I highly suggest taking a trip down during spring break or the summer to enjoy what Fort Myers has to offer.
Ryan, I like the choice you made here. If I were to go to Fort Meyers, baseball would easily be the main reason for going down there. All the spring training games going on down there would be exciting and fun to see because of all the developing players that get to play and show case their talents to see if they can make an MLB roster. I think $900 for a week down there would be worth every penny. There is a lot to do down there and just being in the nice weather alone would be great. I bet when you went their for spring training you had a great time and you guys seem to have a good season ahead of you. If I was to go down there, I would be down at the beach all the time because its relaxing and there would be a lot people down there you could socialize with.
ReplyDeleteI really like your vacation spot in Fort Myers, I have really good things about it. I think Florida is a great vacation spot in general. I hope to go on vacation there this summer. Florida is the ideal place to relax as the scenery is so soothing. I love seeing all the palm tree and the crystal clear water on the beach I think is the best. If I do happen to go I would love to visit Miami especially if the C’s are playing them in the playoffs. That would be an unreal experience watching them get a win with the swarm of Miami Heat Fan. A college I am looking to transfer to is down there, Florida Gulf Coast. You probably know them as the team that upset the Georgetown Hoyas and hopefully will do the same to the Florida Gators. Big bonus of the school is they have an on campus beach.
