Top Ten Reasons to Vacation on Sanibel Island... David Letterman Style


10. You can become locally famous if you find a rare junonia seashell.

9. You don’t have to pack a winter coat to go on vacation in February. (The average high temperature is 77 degrees!)

8. You can fish all day long and then have your fresh catch cooked for you at the Lazy Flamingo.

7. Where else can you attend a craft fair devoted entirely to seashells? (The 72nd Annual Sanibel Shell Fair and Show will take place March 5-7, 2009)

6. You might run into someone from your hometown who’s here vacationing too.

5. You don’t have to worry about running a red light. (Sanibel Island doesn't have any traffic lights and our speed limit is a relaxing 30 miles per hour)

4. There’s more wildlife per capita than people on the island. (For close-up encounters with the critters, visit the J.N. "Ding" Darling National Wildlife Refuge.)

3. You never know when you’ll run into someone famous. (Famous weatherman Willard Scott and celebrities including Kevin Nealon, Wilford Brimley and Chris Berman have all been seen on the islands and luckily for them, we don't have a map showing you where the stars' homes might be located.)

2. You can amaze your friends and co-workers when you get home by showing them the Sanibel Stoop.

AND THE #1 REASON TO VACATION ON SANIBEL ISLAND.....

You don’t have to stand in line to ride the flying teacups on the Mad Tea Party ride at that big theme park in the middle of the state!
