			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>Sanibel</strong> and <strong>Captiva</strong> are known for their great shelling, so I was looking forward to finding pretty new <strong>sea shells</strong> to add to my collection. Unfortunately the <strong>sea shores</strong> and <strong>beaches</strong> of this spectacular place are pretty much closed off to the public, are very crowded and require a fee to even step on to. Even though I didn’t find new shells I did enjoy seeing the islands tropical and lush beauty with it&#8217;s colorful <strong>coastal cottages</strong>, <strong>Bougainvillea</strong>, <strong>palm trees</strong> and turquoise shores. The closer we get to <strong>Key West</strong> the more commercial and congested it&#8217;s becoming making it hard to see the natural beauty this part of the country is known for. So we are considering changing our plans to cut across Florida and travel up the <strong>Atlantic Coast</strong> possibly spending <strong>Christmas</strong> in <strong>Saint Augustine</strong>…….</p>
