Shellabaloo 4 – January 6-9, 2014
***
If you are a sheller, you’ve probably heard how much fun we have on our Shellabaloo shelling adventures. I will be with you on the best shelling beaches in the area to show you how to find the awesome seashells. So don’t miss the opportunity to be a part of one of these spectasheller events to find shells like this…
And bond with other crazy shellers like this…
Once again, we’ve put together a shelling vacation package of a lifetime so we can shell together and get to know each other in real live person. It will be soooo exciting to meet y’all!
This time we’ll kick off this adventure with a Shellabaloo Shelloha Beach Party!
From there we will enjoy dinners…
Island hopping by boat…
We’ll learn a little something together…
Enjoy lunch (while we talk about our shell finds from the morning!)…
And of course… shell!
Shell!
Shell!
But the most important thing is… I do hope that we get to shell together to make our shelling connections even stronger. So Join us!
FYI- Remember, This sold out in 36 hours for the January event last year event so don’t wait since there are only 25 spots available. Hope to see you soon!
OMG Pam…..soooo not fair. We are going to be there from December 26th-Jan 4th!!! We leave 2 days before Shellabaloo starts. Dam…dam…dam!! Lol
Then we have another Sanibel trip already planned with Kim, Chablis and Moira for August so I can’t do May either…but I swear I will return to a shellabaloo one day!!
Kim, Chablis, Moira and I will be there in August , we will have to get together for a lunch or dinner. Of course were going out with Brian and having lunch with him too!!
For those who have not done a Shellabaloo, let me tell you….it is a trip to remember!!! Hubby and I did the very first Shellabaloo and it was sooo much fun and met the most wonderful people. A trip with lifetime memories!! So if you haven’t done a Shellabaloo…GO FOR IT…DO IT….YOU WILL LOVE IT!!!!!
I think there is a cruise to Cayo Costa on the 3rd…
Is that correct, Pam?
Oh if there is Im in on that!! Wahoo!!
Oh gosh sorry, I didnt see your question, Elna… Yes! January 3 from 9 to noon! Joins us!
That’s my plan!
how about doing 1 in feb or march as well?? please
OMG..I’m so excited!! I just tried to get the Island Inn now but, their not there in reservations. First thing in the morning I’m calling and making reservations.
For the last 4 yrs. we’re been on Sanibel the last week of Sept. for my birthday but, this Sept. we couldn’t come. My husband always finds me a nice big shell for my BD. He’ll have to buy me a birthday shell this time.
Thanks Pam!
Omg Barbara! Yes! It will be so much fun to spend 4 days together!!! Waaahooooo!!!!
Nice!!!
I am so jealous when I see all those wonderful PEN shells on your beach. I’m collecting even broken ones to do a wall (with other shells) in back yard. should be interesting as we are still in desert mode in high 100’s. IF I ever get it done I’ll sen a picture.

Does the Shellabaloo cost of $430 include the room costs, or no?
The room cost is in addition. That is for lots of meals and lots of fun shelling entertainment!
unfotunately There is no other course/Cruise Mid of January 2014. Greetings from Germany.

I love shelling, however I am a Fort Myers Resident and will not need a room. Any options for us locals who would like to meet like minded shellers?
Join us on the cruise to Cayo Costa January 3 or 8th! If you go on the 8th, you will get to meet the Shellabaloo-ers too! http://www.iloveshelling.com/blog/iloveshelling-events/
I planned our family vacation to end up in Sanibel. So smart! We’ll be seeing ya’ll on the 3rd. I’m so happy!

PAM! if one can only attend one Shellaballoo, is April a good time to do it (from the shell perspective!)? Or should I wait for a better time (which is?)? Thanks.
Katherine,
I wouldn’t plan a Shellabaloo event any time that I didn’t think that it would be a good time to find shells. Each Shellabaloo has been unique and different… just like every shell… just like every day shelling… just like every day the beach changes.
There is much to be considered in planning a special event like this so we can’t plan on dates too far in advanced. You never know what can happen in the future… things could change. So just like each day on the beach, you may find hundreds of wentletraps on the beach so you may assume you will always find wentletraps there. No. They can swept away and might not be seen for years again.
