FROMMERS: Sanibel Island is the number one travel destination in the world, according to travel guru Arthur Frommer, the mastermind behind Frommer's guidebooks and budget travel magazine. Frommer recently ranked his ten favorite places to visit and listed Sanibel first above destinations like Bali and Paris. Sanibel Island residents are celebrating the top honors from such a respected travel writer. The island has won many travel awards and high rankings, but this carries special weight because it is Frommer's personal favorite. "I thought it was sort of a hidden treasure for a long time," said visitor Kay Liebenow. "Well, it just ensures that I'm going to be able to stay here for the rest of my life and hopefully my children will continue to live here and enjoy one of the most beautiful places on earth," said Michael Billheimer, owner of Lighthouse Cafe.
Very interesting...have had clients who described Sanibel (which they lived in) to my gem of an island...must be the lifestyle, as the northwest is the "wet coast" in the winter season!!
