Make Your Sanibel Vacation More Meaningful

Sanibel Island is a lovely place to visit or live, and the chances are pretty good that the only empty mouths to feed are the baby birds and baby animals that you can catch sight of from time to time

But the economic comfort of the Island does not preclude its involvement in helping those who certainly need a meal of more substantial dimensions than what the mommy Anhinga is feeding her beautiful babies.

Which brings us to the Harry Chapin Food Bank.When the food bank made a run last winter to Sanibel it wasn’t to gather seashells.

Instead, it picked up 324 more pounds of food for the Food Bank, thanks to the Sanibel-Captiva Vacation Rental Managers Association. That makes nearly 6,700 pounds of food donated since the program’s inception two years ago.

That’s when VIP Vacation Rentals began collecting non-perishable food left by guests. When Keith McMenamy of VIP and Randy Bacik, President of Royal Shell Vacations, formed the association, now with nine rental companies as members, they knew they could really expand food donations.Guests’ check-in packet describes the program and how to drop off non-perishable goods at the end of their stay.

Bailey’s General Store provides reinforced paper bags with handles at no cost.Each vacation rental manager brings the donated food to a central location, and from there it’s off to the Food Bank warehouse for sorting and distribution.

The guests can feel a sense of contribution in giving excess food purchased during their stay to those who need it most.

But the giving does not end there on Sanibel, where volunteers who live on and off the island give substantially to various organizations.For example, in addition to supporting C.R.O.W. (Clinic for the Rehabilitation of Wildlife on Sanibel) with donations of their photography over the last several years, photographers Dick Fortune and Sara Lopez have lent a hand in other ways.

Fortune’s flooring company graciously provided and supervised the flooring materials and installation for the construction of C.R.O.W.’s new Wildlife Education Center and Hospital in Sanibel.C.R.O.W.’s on-going dedication and efforts to rehabilitate injured, orphaned or displaced animals go hand in hand with Sanibel’s high level of environmental awareness and community pride.

There will be future blog posts on volunteers and volunteerism on Sanibel Island and how vacationers— as well as residents— can support the good work of Sanibel non profit organizations.

2006 nissan frontier towing cap.?

I have a 2006 nissan frontier 4×4 with the towing package. Right now I am towing a 19ft camper with absolutely no problem (have hauled it many times and my truck does not budge when I hook up) gross weight is 5877 hitch weight is like 280. my question is do you think I can haul a 26ft coachmen travel trailer? It’s gross weight is around 7000 lbs and hitch weight is 580 lbs. My other option is a coachmen captiva 28ft 6800 lbs with hitch weight of 630. I’m torn between the 2 but don’t know if I can haul either of them! Let me know what you think.
I looked at a ford before I bought the nissan….the nissan is more american made then the ford. My truck was built in TN. but this is dumb so whatever!

Captiva, Florida

Filmed the week of 5/25-5/30 2008 Footage and photos I took on vacation in Captiva, Florida

Which of these two vacation spots should I choose for my birthday?

My birthday is coming up in March and falls under Spring Break so my boyfriend gave me two options: we can either go to Captiva Island for 4 days (we live in Florida) or to go away to his cabin in Tennessee (by the mountains) for one week. What do you guys think? Tropical paradise or cabin in the woods with lakes, waterfalls, and mountains? So hard to choose!
