Swimming with the Dolphins in Florida

Posted by Jason Hussong on Thursday, December 1, 2011,

It’s on many a bucket list across the globe: yes, swimming with dolphins is truly a once in a life time experience. But for those with the gumption to pack up and board a flight to Florida it’s a dream that can be easily realised.
