"THE TOURIST$ ARE COMING, THE TOURIST$ ARE COMING"

By
Real Estate Agent with Florida Supreme Realty SL514814

Much of Florida relies on the ability to accommodate vacationers in a fashion which can be enjoyed nowhere else in the U.S. during the winter months.  Global warming aside, the season has seen unlikely and extreme weather for most of the country.  What was it in Fargo, ND yesterday?  A wind chill of -60 Fahrenheit, while today we're expecting to be over 80 degrees.  It's no wonder why people want to escape to South & Southwest Florida at this time of year.  

Our temporary population growth can leave vacationers in a lurch when the rest of the nation is experiencing sub-zero weather conditions.  The attractions and amusement venues quickly become overwhelmed when these anomalies occur.  What was once thought to be an ideal getaway for the family can turn sour quickly and become a super-heated, stress-filled sabbatical where no relaxation seems to exist.

Two things we offer in Southwest Florida are plenty of parks and a plethora of restaurants.  The former comes to you in National, State & Local form in all sizes and variety with rarely a long line or wait to get in.  Regarding the latter, Voltaire may have said it best, "Nothing would be more tiresome than eating and drinking if God had not made them a pleasure as well as a necessity."

THIS SPACE RESERVED FOR SOME VEAL PARMIGIANA

Exploring Naples is a great pastime for tourists but during season the popular destinations of 5th Avenue South and Third Street South can be overcrowded and make dining there an impossibility at times.  Because it's Naples and that's Italian and we all need a place to eat, when this happens to you head off the beaten path and try DiJulio's Restaurant for a lengthy menu of family style cuisine just a couple of miles from the bustling activity of downtown Naples.  If you are looking for "fancy" don't even think about it, however, if it's great food at even better prices, give them a try!

Restaurants thrive through rivalry and DiJulio's has been doing so since 1989.  Mangia Italiano!

Kevin= Love Naples!  I've not tried DiJulios on 5th Avenue so will put it on my list for the next time we're on the left coast.

Kevin,

You make me want to visit Naples again, well done...and I love Voltaire's saying.  He had a lot of wonderful snippets, and I have had one in mind for a post for years.  Have a great day, A

Li, what I love is DiJulio's veal parmigiana, lasagna and shrimp scampi.  Their portion sizes beat anything on 5th and 3rd every time plus I prefer the taste too.

Oh, Kathy, this isn't on 5th, it's on Rattlesnake Hammock about 3 1/2 miles from there and very easy to find.

Alexandra, be sure to keep your work in Carpinteria when you do have time to return.  I'll be on the lookout for your post, as always.
