Fort Myers Beach, Florida, USA
Fort Myers Beach (FL, USA)
Visited: June 2017
Fort Myers Beach is a perfect example of a beach community. The whole industry here is geared toward tourism. Completely over-run during spring break, this is a delightful spot to go to late in the season or in the off-season if you can stand the heat. Our whole family went - myself, my wife and our two children (four years, six months) We had a good time walking around the tourist down-town, playing in the water, and eating at the various restaurants.
We lucked out with the weather in that we only had one day where the temperature got up into the 90's. But even then, the heat was expected and easily dealt with by staying inside during the mid-afternoon and then swimming in the pool. I think having kids along on this vacation made it easier because they were totally happy to hang out by the water.
I would definitely go back. I am told that Thanksgiving is a fun time to be there and not too busy. Also there is a pirate festival in September that I would love to see.

The Corn Exchange
The Corn Exchange Theatre Company
www.cornexchange.ie/
Dublin, County Dublin
November 2010
On our first day in Dublin, my wife and I were checking out the Project Art Center and the Corn Exchange's production of Happy Days just happened to be performing that evening. Being a huge fan of Samuel Beckett, we purchased tickets and I am so glad we did. It remains in my top ten theatrical experiences ever.
Artistic Director Annie Ryan's company is based in Commedia dell'Arte - the Italian physical comedy style from the Renaissance. Perhaps considered somewhat avant garde today, especially to the typical American, their technique allows them for a level of precision that most modern acting forms do not. It is exactly the kind of theater that I strive to produce.
Most of the time they are producing original works that they have created to suit their style and company. But whatever the title, I cannot recommend this company highly enough. If they are running a show while you are in Dublin, book tickets as soon as you can.
