Day 1: Florida

                               

  So here we are a year later, the marine bio terrible two and the only the veterans of the group. We started the day off at around 3 in the morning, loaded up and went to the airport. Our flight left from Buffalo to Atlanta at 6:00am. During our first plane ride, we experienced slight turbulence as well as a man who spilled hot coffee all over himself during the bumpy ride. After all that excitement, we landed in Georgia, played some cards, got some coffee and took a long time trying to find "smoothies". In the midst of all the food and fun, our gate got switched. So we reconvened  at the correct gate and were on our way to Fort Lauderdale. Around 1 pm, we arrived in Florida. After unloading our gear at "La Quinta" we grabbed a quick lunch on our way to the Anne Kolb nature reserve. This reserve is set on a 1,500 acre mangrove wetland which we hiked and explored for a few hours. Our bus driver "Gui" took us back to the hotel for a few hours of R&R at the hotel pool. Finally we cleaned up for a amazing feast at T.G.I Fridays with endless appetizers and tasteful entrees. So very tired we came back to the hotel to pass out!  Love, Jake and Chris Peace Out!
