GREETINGS AND SALUTATIONS
I will personally meet everyone flying in at the Orlando International Airport at 2pm on Sunday February 19th. We meet at the bottom of the escalators at baggage claim 5A. For any reason you’re going to be late or can’t find the meeting place call my cell at 407.924.3375. Anyone late or missing without contacting me will have to grab a taxi to our lodge. Folks driving in should call Peggy at the lodge for directions. You can reach her at 407.365.8885 or visit them on the web at www.bigoaksranch.com
Our first day will be pretty laid back. We will focus on instruction and reviewing the week’s itinerary so everyone knows what’s going on and can plan for it.
There is no Internet access or cell phone service at the lodge. If you bring a cell phone please turn it off or be very conscience of the folks trying to avoid the distractions of such devices. The van has a cd player so feel free to bring some music to share.
A typical day starts with coffee, tea, and cocoa at daybreak. A big breakfast follows. After clean up we review the day’s itinerary so everyone can pack accordingly. We drive to the put in, the guides shuttle the pick up vehicle (bring a book for the wait), enjoy a fantastic day on the water, drive back to the lodge for cocktails, a huge southern dinner, and then a nighttime activity. (A massage therapist is on site for $30. half hour, $50. for an hour) Repeat for six days and you got a trip!
Please pack sun protection, lots of swimsuits, snorkeling gear, a camera, sandals, a wide brimmed hat, and outdoor clothing (rain protection) and lodge clothing. Walking shoes are also a good idea. If we get terrible weather, we will do a museum visit or art gallery visit.
On Saturday the 25th I will have everyone back at the airport by noon. Plan your flight accordingly.
I’m really looking forward to meeting everyone and having a great time showing off my great state. If you have any questions or concerns please contact me at anytime.
