Estero Roll Call December 2011 & ELF meet-up

[Swampy]

Anyone going to the tourney interested in meeting up after the first day's (Thursday) games? There is a T.G.I.Fridays nearby that is one of the few places in the area open past 10 pm.

Don't you just love Florida? How's the early bird special?

My parents aren't *that* old, so they still like to have dinner around 6-7 pm.

Before the Coconut Point Mall opened, the local Publix Grocery stores closed at 9 pm! ::panic::. Really. Now they are open until 10 pm, presumably to allow the retail workers a chance to pick up last minute necessities on the way home from work. Not much better in Miami, where the stores in my neighborhood close at 11 pm. The concept of a 24 hr grocery store has NOT caught on down here.

I just emailed Craig Brush and sent him an mp3 of Davy - telling him the team would feel a lot more at home if they finally started playing Davy when the team skated out on the ice and after we scored.  He quickly responded with "I am on it" so hopefully we'll get Davy down there this year.
The version I sent him is a live version with the post-goal stuff, so it might not be perfectly appropriate for the beginning of each period, but I'd love to hear it anyway.

Thanks Jeff! Hopefully, there will be plenty of chances for them to play it!
I still remember the one year we had a mini pep band of 4 or 5 people down there. At least we heard Davy that year.

Anyone know of cheap flights from the NYC area to Fort Myers or nearby airport. Some last minute trip planning, but flights I found are $650+.

Seriously, thank you.

Flights to South Florida are pricey... the snowbirds are returning!

Miami International Airport is about 2.5 hr away, but you will need a rental car.

Tampa/St. Pete is about 2 hr or so to the north and requires a trip on the Sunshine Skyway Bridge which is pretty long and high. Again, you'll need a rental car.

If you opt to fly into Miami, PM me for the best way to get out of Miami and onto Alligator Alley.

Try Ft. Lauderdale.  It isn't that much farther than Miami, there are lots of direct flights from LaGuardia and Newark.  And Alligator Alley is a neat drive.  Just don't be heading west at sundown....

Apparently the Ferlin clan will also be attending.

Thanks. I forgot about FLL. Breakfast had yet to kick in yet . There is also West Palm Beach airport, but that might be more of a 2.5 - 3 hr drive.

Happy Holidays everyone and safe travels.
