If you have never been, or were there a long time ago, Bok Towers is a very relaxing place to visit. The drive from Orlando is sooo easy. Roughly one hour, but Bok is one of those places that you need to see to appreciate, and you will want to go again, and again.

The Segway Tour, yes, Segways appear to not be safe, but believe me, they are so stable it is not funny. After getting oriented to the Segway, it becomes second nature. Touring is a great way to take advantage of a Segway.

Who doesn’t like to SAFELY climb trees or rocks? Have not been to Jungle Quest, but I will be checking it out the next time I am in Jacksonville.

Which leads me to KITE SURFING! I my previous career in the media, I was part of a kite surfing exhibition a couple of years ago during Surf Expo. I wish I knew how to do it better, but WOW it was such a blast. Being an adult surf rat, kite surfing brought back some of the excitement that I had long forgot about. Yes, at first it does take some getting used to, but it is so worth it.
