Hiiii from Florida! I can’t believe it’s already been two weeks that I’ve been here – I’m loving it so much and never wanting to leave. When I first arrived, I asked you guys for a list of recommendations, and pulled it together – wanted to share here because lots of you asked for it too! I made a note by some of the spots that I’ve gone to and will update this as my time here goes, so bookmark it and I hope it’s helpful when you visit Naples someday!
