In October, my sister Amanda mentioned that she was thinking about taking a job in North Captiva, Florida (where our family goes on vacation every year) to work for six months. I was supportive and excited. Now I wish I hadn't been so supportive, because she is really doing it and she left this morning.
Even though I am sad (and really jealous), I am so proud of her for taking this chance and trying something new. We've gone to North Captiva as a family four summers in a row and we all love it there. We all joke about moving there... and Amanda is really doing it. I'm really proud. (And did I mention jealous?)
North Captiva is NOT Captiva or Sanibel. It's a teeny tiny island with no bridge and no roads. Amanda will take a boat to the island and will walk or drive a golf cart to get around. She'll work at the pool bar (a family friendly open-air shell with about 10 barstools) and Mango's the grocery store/restaurant which is about the size of an average living room.
There is no big resort, just rental houses and a few guests. It's quiet with lots of big empty beaches. She is going to have a very unique experience. I hope she has a wonderful time... I just hope she comes home in August!
