Who is up for a GT cruise to the Edison & Ford Winter Estates on the scenic Caloosahatchee River in Fort Myers FL?

http://www.edisonfordwinterestates.org/

Private tours of the homes, gardens, lab and museum are available for groups of 20 or more. If we don't get 20 in GTs, we may permit lesser vehicles to attend.

Following the tour will be lunch at Pinchers at the Edison Ford Marina neighboring the estates.

The proposal:

Date: Saturday, April 25.

Time: Tour begins at 11:00 am and lasts about 1 1/2 hours. Lunch at 1:00 pm.

Those driving from the Sarasota area and points north will meet at the SRQ Caffeine and Gasoline car show (free coffee and donuts) and depart as a group at 9:30 for the 1 1/4 hour drive to Fort Myers. NOTE! This month only, SRQ Caffeine and Gasoline will be held at Sunset Chevrolet instead of Phillippi Estate Park. Sunset Chevrolet, 1800 Bay Rd., Sarasota.

Looking for a show of interest for now. I will find out the reservation deadline, at which time I will need a commitment.

EDIT: more info...

Greetings and thank you for your inquiry. We do have availability for April 25 for a group tour. The historian guided tour for groups of 20 or more is $18 per person, which includes a guided tour of the Edison and Ford estates, and admission for self-guided tour of the lab and museum. Plan on a minimum of 2.5 hours to see the site.

Of course availability and rates are subject to change (although if available we will take group bookings up until the day before arrival) until written confirmation is issued by Edison Ford, so please let us know if you would like to confirm your date, and let us know how many people you expect. Let me know if you have any questions. Thank you again!

I'll be there if I am in town. I live about 20 minutes away. I might be flying up to Sun & Fun in Lakeland that day.

P.S. You should read pages 73-128 very carefully.

This isn't complicated. You're either on the bus or off the bus.

Cancelling this event. Sorry guys. Will try again another time.

Also, my planning failed to account for love bug season. They are back. Ugh!
