I am 37 years old and did a report in 3rd grade on the manatees being endangered. I fell in love with them at that time and have always loved them since. Next Saturday I am flying to Florida to see the manatees for the first time in my life. I am so excited that if I think too hard about it, I start to tear up.

Nice. You got some spots planned? I went to this place called Crystal River a bit outside of Orlando that has glass bottom boat tours and saw a bunch of them. There's tons of rivers you can kayak and stuff too.

I wanted to go to crystal river but we have a couple of places around Fort Lauderdale that we are going to go. I am a bit worried that we are on the end of the timeline to see them in the area (or so the internet tells me) but Iā€™m crossing my fingers.

I went there probably 20 years ago, saw so many manatees and they swam right up to us, it was amazing
