Day 1 - Ft. LauderdaleWe fly to Fort Lauderdale, then transfer to the National Geographic Fine Art Gallery, filled with the finest photography of the natural world that exists today. We drop off our luggage at our hotel, then enjoy dinner. (D)

Day 2 - Biscayne NP & Key LargoWe head south to Biscayne National Park for a stroll, continuing to Key Largo (but we won’t see Bogie or Edward G. Robinson). The Florida Keys are a string of tropical islands stretching about 120 miles, separating the Atlantic Ocean from the Gulf of Mexico. A visit to the Dolphin Research Center provides fascinating insights to these beautiful and intelligent creatures. Key West will be our home for 3 nights. (B)

Day 3 - Dry Tortugas NPThis morning finds us in the Dry Tortugas National Park. It is one of the world’s most unique eco-attractions and home of historic Fort Jefferson, a staging place for Navy ships assigned to block Confederate ports. Now it is a place of memories and meditation. (B,L)

Day 4 - Key WestIn Key West, the southernmost tip of the U.S.A., Ernest Hemingway lived and worked here for more than 10 years. Hemingway’s Spanish Colonial home is filled with European antiques and souvenirs of African safaris for us to admire. Harry Truman also loved Key West and spent many days visiting the Little White House which we will explore. The Butterfly and Nature Conservatory and its dazzling varieties of colorful butterflies provides a lovely day. (B,D)

Day 5 - Everglades NPOur destination today is the Everglades National Park, a 1.5-million-acre wetlands. The Everglades is one of the most unique landscapes in the world and home to tropical fauna and flora found nowhere else. We see it all on our airboat ride, an extraordinary vehicle that can navigate places where normal watercraft can’t go. We lodge two nights in Homestead, the gateway to the Everglades. (B)

Day 6 - Everglades NPOur tour of the Everglades continues this morning from another point of view. We will hop aboard the Shark Valley Tram for a 15-mile loop tour led by an informative naturalist. We’ll be deep in the wilds of

the Everglades, but riding in comfort with the breeze in our faces. Don’t forget your camera! At the end of our ride, we will have arrived at the Miccosukee Indian Village, where we get a glimpse of the unique way of life of one of Florida’s indigenous peoples.
