By Joe Winner

Tired of driving in Southwest Florida traffic? It keeps getting worse and worse. What if there were another way? What if you could fly over the traffic? Well, if you have 1.3 million dollars and your own plane – you’re in luck. Welcome to North Captiva Island.

You see, Captiva used to be one island, until a hurricane in 1921 separated it into two islands. So now you can only get there by boat or by small aircraft. There’s no cars on North Captiva, and no paved roads. People get around by golf cart. So, if you dream of parking your plane on an island and carrying your groceries to the house. Here it is:
