After hurricane Helene and Milton we weren’t sure if we would be able to travel to Florida’s west coast. We had to change some of our travel plans but in the end everything worked out perfectly.
The arrival at Tampa airport was a wonderful experience. The people there are so helpful, friendly and relaxed. We never got so easy and quick from immigration procedure to the rental car station.
First Stop: Central Florida
Central Florida was our first stop because we wanted to visit Kelly Springs again.
Our second stop: Fort Myers & Sanibel
We rented a wonderful house for one week.
The house was the perfect location to explore the coast and to visit Sanibel again and again.
Third Stop: Siesta Key & Tampa Bay Area
Originally we planned to stay in Siesta Key for some days but the landfall of hurricane Milton was on Siesta Key. But in the second week of our vacation Sarasota County opened Siesta Key Beach for public again. And so we could have a beach day there. We were really impressed how much work the people did in this short amount of time to make this place feel like paradise again.
