Thanks for the offer.  If I can get away to go down south it will be after 
Jan. 1, 2005.  The link gave good information regarding the programs (canoe, 
swamp walk, etc.) but did not have a map of the park nor a map of the region so 
that I could see the perimeters and the towns that were nearby.  I can get 
those from Florida State C of C. 

I am particularly interested in seeing some of the rare Orchids and also 
walking in "Panther country" (not to dis the Alligators or other reptilian 
creatures.
