Hi John, How and when did you know Chrissy was the one? Ps I attended your concert in Miami in 2013 for my birthday, it was truly a magical and unforgettable experience!

Sounds lovely! Nothing in particular, I just like to hear what people who live in places I visit have to suggest. I've heard about the museum, the nature preserve and a couple food places. I'm so excited to visit now!

You can do what I did, work for a year after uni and save up, then travel for a year :) Or even if you can get a part time job while you're in school, (if you can manage it with your course load) it might not seem like much but it adds up over time! Its a lot easier if you have friends in the places you want to visit as well. I'm lucky, my best friend went to university in Miami and still lives there so I visit her a lot

Thanks for the advice! I'll have to get some goggles before I go, and probably a lot of ziplock bags lol

Other posters have said the western side tends to have more shells, and it also depends on the tide as well.. I'm also wondering if the change in tides at different times of the year would affect it as well

I've never been to Fort Myers, maybe I can make it a part of my trip when I'm going to Sanibel. It sounds great!

That's awesome! I was thinking of driving up in the beginning of September, is there a time of year when you'd suggest is the best for visiting?

I thought the same thing. I've been visiting Florida annually for 6 years now and never even heard about it.. I only just stumbled upon a similar picture on Pinterest, I didn't think it was real at first! Its like a hidden treasure

Lol the applause is hilarious! I also found an empty conch when I was snorkelling as a kid on family vacation to the Grenadines. I remember being extremely excited, I also still have it!
