Weddings and the Hurricane
The bridge to Sanibel is now open. We are looking for locations on Sanibel Island that will provide a good backdrop for elopements. Along the way to Sanibel, there are attractive beaches too. Another idea is Marco Island, this charming island town had less hurricane damage. See this website, Marco Island Photographer for more information.
To All: Patricia is safe, she stayed on Sanibel Island during the hurricane. Neighbors and Patricia are helping each other during this difficulty. Thanks for all your concern and prayers.
Oct 3 Update on Patricia: We spoke with Patricia on Monday at 5pm. She told us how she stayed in her home until Sunday afternoon. Sunday morning a rescue crew from Miami told her that she would be evacuated by the local fire department at 1pm, so pack and be prepared. Patricia was packed and ready with her 4 kitties when the fire department came with a jeep to pick them up for the ride to a Sanibel boat dock. Patricia was then taken by boat to the Port Sanibel Marina in Fort Myers. She and 4 kitties are doing fine and now staying with a friend in Cape Coral.
Oct 4 Update: Patricia now has electricity at her friends’ apartment in Cape Coral.
Oct 6 Update: Patricia now has email connection on her cell phone and her post office mail is being forwarded from Sanibel Post Office to her off island temporary address.
