Iceland
If you’re a fan of Earth porn in any kind of capacity, you should make Iceland your very next stop. It’s famous for it’s spectacular views of the aurora borealis, its majestic active volcanoes, and its mountain ranges with colors so pure and plentiful they seem to be painted with watercolors. When you run out of those breathtaking scenic diversions, there’s also Iceland’s native animals to gawk at (puffins! shaggy horses!). You could also explore one of it’s short-lived but incredibly beautiful ice caves and otherworldly rock formations. Why not snorkel through the the continental divide between Europe and North America in the purest water on the planet? Seriously, if you’re the kind of person who likes to see the Earth show off, Iceland is the place to go.

Galápagos Islands, Ecuador
In 1835, the HMS Beagle landed on the shores of the Galápagos Islands and a young geologist and naturalist named Charles Darwin stepped off that fateful ship to find a small group of islands that were home to one of the most diverse collections of wildlife to be found anywhere on the planet. That incredible diversity is still on display today at what has become one of the most thrilling tourist destinations on the planet. Lounge on the beach, swim with playful sea lions, penguins and marine iguanas that have no fear of man, or simply explore the nooks and crannies of the various islands in the volcanic chain. There are few places more edifying than a trip around the Galápagos Islands.

The Magnificence of Florida’s State Preserves & Natural Sites plus US National Parks
Let’s go exploring to beautiful places, scenery and waterways through the sights and sounds of our natural surroundings. Let’s throw in some historic content to see how these places and parks came into their existence. Let’s dine in the tropics without leaving our own State. Let’s hear the songs and poems that bring these places to life. We will examine the Cultural Backgrounds of ancient to modern groups who helped form the places of interest which we view. We’ll do it virtually through the classroom with the opportunity to take a few live field trips to some of the places firsthand. For a full Syllabus contact Lee Rosenkranz, CTC (Certified Travel Counselor) by e-mail at floridagreeters@yahoo.com or through the web site-www.dayawaytravelclub.com then hit School.
