My name is Klaus. I grew up in a small village in the former German Democratic Republic, now East Germany. In 1961, three of my uncles fled to Canada, just early enough to avoid the Berlin Wall. For as long as I can remember, I've wanted to go to America. When I was nine years old, the wall fell. Twelve years later, in 2001, after school and shortly after my military service, I flew from Dresden via Zurich to New York with a so-called "rail pass" valid for 45 days. It was my first big trip, and it would take me across America by train.

A Florida boat tour is a short ride, usually two hours or less, where you and your fellow passengers learn something new about Florida history, ecology or wildlife from a spirited and helpful guide while gliding across supple, sun filled waters. You may see dolphins, manatees, turtles, alligators, and more. Cruise past famous and infamous homes, Indian mounds, and ancient cypress trees where diving birds sit on branches spreading their wings to let them dry. A boat tour is a floating adventure with friends. Boarding a pontoon boat is easy, involving a short ramp or some steps.
