Uluru is such a rugidly beautiful place. You must see the sunrise at Uluru, but nothing is more spectacular than the sunset! The rock changes into all sorts of shades of that infamously glowing orangey-red. The only killer out there is the flies! Heaps and heaps of them! Don’t forget to buy a flynet or you will go mad as they will never leave you alone. Good thing is they go away after dusk and come back a little after dawn

No high rises. You can bring your car. Its clean! Powdery white sand. Close to one of Florida’s best towns filled with history and character! Definitely the best beach in Florida if not America!! Shhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh…..don’t tell developers and those that make best beach surveys for Conde Nast and Travel Channel!!!!!

The most OVERRATED city in Florida. So many other better places to visit and move to. If you are going to move to Southwest Florida, you are better off going to Sarasota instead! The old and rich dominate this place. Entertainment for kids is almost non-existent – hence you have the kids that grew up here with all this money having serious drug and alcohol problems while in high school and many drop out or get pregnant. Those who graduate often leave and never look back. This is not the same place that it was 15-20 years ago. The Miami people have infiltrated and turned the small town lifestyle into utter trash! The town has gotten dirtier and people have become so obnoxiously rude. Just because they move to Naples and mortgaged themselves to high heaven for a overpriced shanty they think that they can act like a Rockefellar. Don’t get me wrong there are some nice homes but most of them are over $2 million! The average house runs a little over 500k, but the actual salaries in this town are FAR BELOW the state average, and Florida already has lower wages than most other states of comparable size. Because of this Naples and Collier County have problems hiring teachers, police officers, firemen, nurses, paramedics – even high salaried pharmacists! It has gotten too crowded that the county can’t keep up with the infrastructure be it roads or schools. Apartments have been going to condos so many are being forced out of their apartments and are trying to find new places to live, most complexes having monthly rents comparable to many other high profile US cities. Those who opt to buy a house often can’t afford this town so they move to Lehigh where property is cheaper – and you get to live next to an incinerator – and drive what is often an hour to 2 hour drive to Naples to work since jobs are harder to find in Ft. Myers than Naples. That drive is not one on a high speed highway its is roughly a 20 mile drive through bumper to bumper traffic barely going over 40 on a overburdened interstate with no definite construction plans yet! People who left the traffic of big cities are no better off here. What is slowly happening is an exodus of those who came here hoping to find good jobs, better lifestyle, and paradise – but quickly realized that paradise was/is lost so they move to North Florida, Tennessee, or North Carolina. Those that been here for 20 years and bought their home for 100k now sell it for 700k to some Yankee or East Coast fool who thinks this place is the pinnacle of good living … suckers!!!
