Accommodating

Glen_W, Jun 2022

Wanted to go to Siesta Key but they had an employee sick. They contacted me right away to change locations to Ted Sperling Nature Park. Unbeknownst to them we are going back there with a different company to do the same thing again tomorrow which I paid for already. Had two teenage girls with me so we went for it. The price was right.

Dolphin excitement!

My family saw a couple of dolphins when we were kayaking. We had a great time on the water and would do it again. Tim gave us good directions on areas to check out when we were kayaking. Tim is great!
