RSW to Marco Island

Hello! I'm visiting Marco Island next week and staying at the Hilton Beach Resort. My GPS says this is about a 1 hour drive from RSW airport where I'll be flying in. I will not really need a rental car when I'm there for 5 days, but I'm trying to figure out what may be the most cost effective way to get from the airport to the hotel. Uber is going to be $125+ for one way, and paying $250 for a ride to and from the airport is so much... it's more than my plane tickets. Renting a car on turo is $35-40/day but parking at the hotel is $30/day so that adds up like crazy.

Any tips or airport transportation options I don't know about?

Coffee and bakery Recommendations?

Hello all. Does anyone know of a bakery and coffee shop that sells great espresso drinks like cappuccinos, lattes, flat whites etc. and has really good pastries?

We tried to go to Mon Paris Cafe in Ft. Myers this morning. While their door said they open at 9:00 am Sundays, they were closed when we went there at 9:25. I'd happily go anywhere in Lee or Collins counties if they have really good espresso and baked goods.

Budget Rental Car Return at RSW?

We have a one-way return from Key West to RSW. Do your walk from the return lot to the terminal? Or is there a shuttle? We do have 2 under 2 in tow and thus need extra time to get them out of their car seats and a good amount of luggage. Is it possible to drop my wife and kids off at departures, then park myself and go over to the terminal? About how long does that take? We have a 5:30 am flight.

South Florida hard core shows

Hi!! I’m looking to find some people to introduce me to the hard core scene in south Florida. I would LOVE to go to shows and meet people but currently don’t have anyone that would go with me as most of my friends aren’t interested. As a woman I would rather not go alone so am looking for some people to take me under their wing and show me all there is to see in this scene !! Follow me on IG @alyssamorelikeannoyingg and message me :,)

Making friends:

Ok quick short post bc I dont want to ramble on but I am 49 years old living here in Estero for the last 3 years and moved out of NYC, bc basically was there 46 years of my life and just got sick of the same shit, cold weather, short summers and snow sometimes & the city the last 15 years has gone to crap & when my wife and I had my daughter we discussed moving & my parents lived close by and were downsizing as well and already owned a condo in Delray Beach, which my wife and I visited many times and liked it alot but realized the east coast although more fun and younger, also more crime and problems and school are better on the west coast, we wanted a warm climate but wanted to be a close flight back home, but 3 years later nobody even comes to visit except my parents who sold their east coast condo and purchased one in Naples and spend 8,9 mths per year here and 3-4 mths in NY as my sister still lives there but her kids are fully grown at 28 & 26. My daughter will be 6 in Jan. And she definitely seems to like it, but then again its all she knows being we moved here when she was 2 1/2 she has vague memories of NYC. The part this post is about is how difficult it is to make friends here & how even when we meet younger people it just seems everybody stays to themselves. So far my wife has made soms friends from my daughters pre-school and has a couple of girls she speaks too and does play dates w them and all the kids bday parties. But we have asked numerous times about going out as couples w and wo the kids on a weekend and nobody ever seems interested in doing anything more than that. Now i know its alot of luck based on what development u live in and we made a big mistake as we bought a condo in Villagio and it was all old people and no kids barely. Now we live in Bella Terra and it is much better w more kids however its so massive u dont See people often again and again nobody ever takes that next step. Forget me making friends as a guy but at least a couple the husband i cld hang with or something but again it never gets there abd my daughter is now in kindergarten and we thought would be even better for making friends w other parents, but how can you when these schools dont even let u out of the car to walk your child into school where u wld see other parents socializing, as that was how it was at her preschool. Just dont know anymore, just wo family besides my parents and no sense of community just seems lonely and blah.. anybody have any ideas or experience here w this?

What's the best place for a CCW/pistol class?

I've recently picked up my first handgun, and was wondering where everyone thinks the best place around for training would be? Of course I'll want to take a CCW class and get my permit, even with our constitutional carry. But I'm wondering where would be a good place for higher level classes? The few indoor ranges near me don't even allow holster draws. I'm located in Fort Myers, but I wouldn't be opposed to driving as far as Naples or maybe North Port if the classes are worth it.

Fishing!

Hi everyone!

I am coming from Jax and renting a boat for the day. I’ll be able to go anywhere near Gordon’s pass. I have fished there before and ran to the wrecks and caught snapper / snook / cobia with threadfins.

This time, I want to stay inside the inlet and fish flats/ inshore for snook, reds, trout, blacktips etc. I prefer not to run toooo far.

Is someone able to give me some pointers? I’m not asking for exact spots because I know how that works (I’m a fisherman). But, can you share ANY insights like tides, baits, patterns, etc?

I’m just trying to spend the day wisely and not trying to figure it out since I’m only there for the day. TIA

Looking to watch Bulls games down here and need a bar with Direct TV- the only way to get the new channel until they release the promised app for streaming

Any Ideas?

I know some Bears bars, but I think that they are all on cable with NFL package.

Bonita or Estero- maybe Downtown FM or Naples- best .

Thanks all
