I was last in Fort Myers, Florida about 25 years ago. I had zero decisions to make as my uncle picked me up from a wedding location on the other side of the state, I stayed at his place, saw what he wanted me to see and ate where he wanted me to eat.
This time, the trip was a little different. While I was interested in seeing where a cousin snowbirds and hanging out with family, it really is all about Spring Training.
About every other year, I make the trip to Florida for Spring Training. While my Detroit Tigers play in Lakeland, my crew has also explored several other stadiums but had yet to see the two in Fort Myers.
My trip corresponded with the first Red Sox game of the season.
