    Tamara, I was right there with you as you talked about kayaking (potentially) with gators in FLA! I had a heart-pounding VERY close gator encounter while kayaking with two of my sons in Florida. If you are interested, I describe it here: https://thetriptakesus.com/2019/01/09/everglades-national-park-questioning-my-parenting/
    I’m a regular listener and was hoping to introduce myself at TravelCon, but didn’t spot you. Happy travels!
