Florida and the Boca Raton Resort

Just returned from a great trip to Fort Lauderdale/Miami. The weather was great as usual. The Boca Raton Resort was fabulous! It was very interesting walking the halls and looking at the old pictures of the hotel in the 30’s and 40’s. It’s so nice to see that the hotel has preserved some of its rich history while making the hotel fresh and modern. The Boca Beach Club was so surprisingly different from the main part of the resort. The beach club has a very contemporary feel with the main focus being the ocean.
Visited Everglades National Park on a day trip, which is perfect for groups. They could do a group tram or bike ride through the Everglades. It’s amazing how close you can get to the alligators. I always thought alligators were dangerous but they didn’t seem to pay any attention to us silly humans. There is also a great BBQ joint on the way back from the Shark Valley Visitors entrance. Again a great place to take a big group for a beer and some BBQ.
I also got a chance to stay a couple days in Miami. I really like the blue green water of the Atlantic Ocean in that area, but I missed watching the California surfers. Hang 10 everyone!
