Orlando and South After Christmas
We may be picking up a new coach in Ft Myers, FL this month. My thought was to fly my family out for the 10 days after Christmas. We have 4 kids 8yrs-16mos. Was thinking a couple of days in Orland...

If in the Everglades, do not miss Shark Valley National Park. It is on hwy 41 in Dade County and the real Florida. You can park on the highway if the parking lot is full and walk in. Get a tram reservation for a 2 hr narrated tour over a 15 mile loop. Or rent bikes if that suits your group!See MANY gators and native birds esp at the time of year you are going. Birds close up we have seen include Great Blue Herons, Tri - color Herons, Wood Storks, Rosette Spoonbills, Anhengas, Egrets and Ibisis.
Just west of this park is a Seminole museum and alligator wrestling.
Also there are 2 or 3 RV Public parks between here and Naples. Also a boardwalk through the jungle, Cypress Bend, I think! See Eagles in nest from this boardwalk, also pond at the end with birds and gators, if you have not seen enough yet.
If time permits, stop at the smallest Post Office in the US on your way west. Consider going to Everglades City and eating Really Fresh seafood along the Barron River.
The museum in the former community laundry is 1st class.
There is a private RV Park here right on the river, a little pricy but really nice for 1 or 2 nights. Call early as you will need gate code if arriving after 4/5?
Everglades NP South side of town has a small museum, and narrated boat tours. There are some RV spots here also but cannot recall if they are reserved for staff only??
Have Fun!
