The blonde guy next to me was, maybe, 15 years old, and he was enjoying everything! Watching his reactions was worth the trip. Being in the water with the dolphins? Awesome!

And he waved goodbye afterward, but he never called me back.

Just like a man!

What didn't get on camera, still or vid, was the Superman... I lay on my stomach in the water, feet slightly spread, and the two dolphins came up behind me, caught me on my feet, and pushed me, first horizontally, then into the air about five feet! A once in a lifetime experience! It was truly amazing, and a day never to forget!
