Fort Myers
March 18-19 2006 March 17 - 19,  2006 Tamiami Aero Club flew to Ft Myers FL for a weekend of
music and entertainment. Some members left on Friday and visited the Edison Museum on Saturday morning before the arrival of a few more of us just after lunch.

We really lucked out on our weather. Scattered to broken clouds between 3500 to 6000 ft tops, with CAVU above the entire weekend.	We arrived at Page field, Avitat FBO "Aviation Center" on the South side of the airport.	The Holiday Inn Restaurant & Bar was right on the river
The airport was really busy, and we later found out the most of the hotels were fully booked. Our “Best Western” was located on the bay front and all the rooms featured bay front balconies with a great view!	Of course we held our famous cocktail party before heading for the dinner theater so everyone but Monte was already in good spirits. (He drove us all to the Theater. )
One of our founding members who is still active, Charlie Bukoski and his wife Judy (our first Cruise Director) was able to join us from Polk County before the show.
The dinner theater, the Broadway Palm Theater, was a short drive with a hidden entrance, and 15 of us in a 12 passenger van wasn't a first.		The theater was large and well decorated. Dinner was buffet style and quality and the choices plentiful.
The real treat was the show. The cast was obviously chosen for their voices.	Our tables were front center, the sound system great, and it was one of the best musical presentations we've enjoyed for a long time.	After the show, of course, our hospitality room resumed, and Monte didn't need to worry about driving any more. Overall, a really memorable day.
