Gator Park Airboat Ride - Florida Post 1








In January, we spent 10 days in Florida, where it was cold. When I was a consular officer, people would tell me every day "I don't want to live in New York - it is too cold" arguing that this was proof that they would not overstay their visa. Now having spent 10 days in Florida where it was in the 40s at points - we too were eager to come back to Trinidad where it is high 90 low 78 nearly every day.

Among the highlights of our trip to Florida was an airport ride in the Everglades. I do not know how riding on an incredibly noisy boat with ear plugs came to be considered a good way to see nature but it was great fun.

Sometimes the boat would slow down and we could then see alligators and birds, who must be used to the boat.

If you go to Florida again, skip the airboat ride, and instead, drive the Tamiami Trail from Miami to Naples. You will see plenty of alligator, birds, etc, without the airboat ride and other people.
