Naples Florida Real Estate: Coming To Naples, Florida For Thanksgiving? Traveling Tips

Coming to Naples, Florida for Thanksgiving?

Good!  We're happy to have you!  Here are a few tips to consider when traveling:

It's supposed to be beautiful this week (highs in the 80"s during the day) with a slight chance of rain on Thanksgiving Day and possibly on Friday. 
See the 10 Day Forecast Here.

No Liquids!  Don't forget there is still a liquid ban.  Don't bring your liquids on the plane with you.  Checked bags only!

Bringing gifts? remember you can't wrap them before you come.  Airlines will make you unwrap your presents

If someone is picking you up at the airport.  We have a cel phone lot where your pick up person will be required to wait for your arrival.  Don't forget their cel phone number.

What To Wear:

Ladies:

During the day it's mostly casual attire in Naples, Florida.  Except for more formal country club and hotels, your regular casual attire should be fine.  If you're planning a Naples golf outing obviously normal golf attire will be appropriate, collared shirts, shorts or golf skirts are acceptable.  Don't forget your sunglasses and possibly a visor or hat.  Even in November the sun can be brutal.  If you're going to one of our fabulous Naples beaches or boating, normal beach attire is appropriate but please take special note: Naples is not South Beach or South France.  Tops and bottoms are required at all times.  Don't forget your sunscreen. :)

During the evening we're still mostly casual however most people prefer to dress up a bit if they're planning on dining in Naples, Florida on 3rd Street or 5th Avenue in Olde Naplesand some of the more upscale restaurants and night spots around town.  Again, most any attire is acceptable minus the tank tops and cut offs but you may feel better dressing it up a tad. Skirts, dresses and slacks are prevalent but you're not going to be the only one in jeans either. Wearing shorts are probably going to make you feel under dressed.  If you're planning on going to any of our night clubs...you'll definitely want to dress to impress.  Some clubs do not allow jeans, t-shirts or tennis shoes.  You might consider taking a sweater...it cools off a little at night and we still run our air conditioners on full blast regardless of what time of year it is.

Gentlemen:

During the day, it's casual for you too.  I primarily see gentlemen around 5th Ave and 3rd St. wearing collared shirts.  Long sleeves and short sleeves are both appropriate but dont' forget, its' supposed to be in the 80's.  If you get hot easy, you might want to go for the short sleeves.  Jeans are common as well as your casual pants and shorts.  You won't see too many tank tops in Old Naples but I doubt you will get kicked out.  At some of the finer hotels and country clubs, they will frown on tank tops and flip flops unless you're headed to the beach.  Going golfing?  Normal country club attire, collared shirts, shorts and pants are the norm.  Don't forget your visor or hat and your sunglasses...that sun will getcha!  Beaches and boatingon the agenda?  Trunks are still the rage but we do see some speedo type bathing suits occasionally...probably not recommended.  Tank tops, flip flops etc. are all appropriate.  You might consider taking a long sleeved shirt if you anticipate staying out til dusk or after. 

During the eveningwe're still mostly casual although 3rd St. and 5th Ave. are slightly more formal.  Casual slacks will be appropriate with long sleeved collared shirts.  Short sleeves are ok too but if you're fashion conscious you migh go ahead with the long sleeves.  A jacket is not out of the question either but not mandatory.  Ties are not necessary.  If you're hitting the few night clubs Naples has to offer, you'll want to dress to impress.  Some night clubs in Naples do not allow jeans, t-shirts, shorts or tennis shoes.  Pants and long sleeved shirts will be appropriate.

Thinking about buying Naples real estate while you're here?  Don't forget to make your appointment with me so I can show you everything fitting your requirements.  The more time I have, the better chance you have of seeing Naples properties that might be considered difficult to gain access to.  Many sellers will have guests in from out of town and late notice appointments can be difficult if not impossible to obtain.

On your return flight you'll be happy to know that our new Regional Southwest Airport is only a couple of years old.  It is run exceptionally well and checking in should be a breeze!  You still need to be checked in no less than 30 minutes before your flight and I would recommend getting there at least an hour before take off.

No Flip flops on the plane...well you can..but you have to take them off when you go through the metal detector and without socks...well...you might not want that experience.

I hope you enjoy your visit to Naples, Florida and remember, when you're thinking Naples, Florida Real Estate, THINK PINK!
