Thanks everyone for your input. It has helped significantly in planning our trip. Our plans have changed a bit, mainly based on the economics and the flexibility that we have. Here is what we are now planning to do.
We have arranged for our cat sitter to stay at our place to take care of the kitties while we are out, as well as keep an eye on things.
We will fly into Fort Myers on December 16, not the 19th. Moving it up by three days saved a considerable amount of money. We are flying on JetBlue where they have more legroom so I won't need to bring my Knee Defenders.
We are going to stay at the Sanibel Harbour Marriott Resort & Spa for 5 nights. I know it is not on the island or actually on the beach. But, I have a ton of Marriot points so it is free. We booked a waterfront room, thanks 911michael. This should serve as a good base for our time in the area.
When we arrive at the airport, we will be picking up a convertible rental car from Alamo. The reservation says that it will be a Mustang Convertible or Similar. With my luck, we will get a Chrysler 200. I booked this through Costco and got a rate for a week that was about $400 cheaper than other places.
From there, we are going to drive to the West Palm Beach area to spend a few days with my MIL then fly home via JetBlue.
