Mooman - are you a birdwatcher by any chance? One of my favorite vacations was a Christmas spent on Sanibel Island, going to the Ding Darling National Wildlife Refuge (yes, that's really its name) to look at all the neat birds - anhingas, ibises, white pelicans, herons and other wading birds. It was the first time I'd ever seen alligators, too.

The Virtual Birder has a little tour/birding quiz of the refuge here.
