Situated just ten minutes outside the city of Fort Lauderdale, Wyndham Palm-Aire is a gated resort community surrounded by towering palm trees and lush landscaping. This tropical haven offers spacious one- and two-bedroom beautifully furnished suites complete with fully-equipped kitchens; some suites include washers and dryers; dining rooms; large bedrooms with plenty of closet and storage space; living rooms with pull-out sofas; all suites offer a spa tub in the master bedroom. Many suites feature impressive pool-view or garden-view balconies or patios, large enough for a table and chairs. The perfect vacation home – away from home – for a weekend trip or an extended stay.

Wyndham Palm-Aire features four large freeform pools, hot tub, pool bar and children’s pool with a water slide, fountains and wading pool; The Palms Marketplace CafĂ© an 18-hole miniature golf course; ping-pong tables and a playground. Also available are tennis, basketball and sand volleyball courts. Daily activities for kids (and adults too) offer limitless fun for the entire family. Free shuttle service is provided once daily to all resort guests to our sister property, Wyndham Royal Vista, just five minutes away to enjoy the beach.

Conveniently located at the resort, The Spa at Palm-Aire is a 6,000-square-foot full-service spa and salon offering the perfect blend of therapy and relaxation. The spa offers eight private treatment rooms, saunas and steam rooms and a complete fitness center including cardiovascular and weight equipment and a fully equipped aerobics room. Aerobics, Pilates and yoga classes are also available throughout the day.

The famed Palm-Aire Country Club is located adjacent to the resort. It boasts four meticulously groomed 18-hole-championship golf courses, two driving ranges, two clubhouses, pro shops, and restaurants. Across the street from the resort lies The Isle Casino & Racing at Pompano Park. The newly renovated casino offers a 34-table poker room, over 1,000 slot machines, live harness racing and four world-class restaurants.

Dubbed the Heart of the Gold Coast, Pompano Beach lies midway between Palm Beach and Miami. What began as a small fishing and farming town has developed into a full-fledged resort community, with an economy that is primarily focused around tourism. Pompano Beach takes its name from the fish which are so plentiful in the Atlantic Ocean, just off the coast of southeastern Florida.

Visitors to Pompano Beach will find themselves greeted by thousands of potential accommodations, 200-plus restaurants, festivals taking place throughout the year, and a variety of attractions including gambling, fishing, hanging out at the beach, shopping and golf. Theres something to suit every taste and temperment, from curious children to sports enthusiasts, from people seeking relaxation to people seeking adventure and thrills.

The biggest source of entertainment in Pompano are the beaches and the Atlantic Ocean. Pompano is particularly friendly to scuba divers and snorkelers, who travel from all over the world to dive among the several large reefs just off the coast. Today, the city of Pompano Beach (with landmark Hillsboro Lighthouse) is known for its small town feeling and beautiful beach where the fish are still abundant offshore. Just north of Fort Lauderdale, Pompano Beach is home to the Goodyear Blimp. The city also hosts the annual Pompano Beach Seafood Festival.

Whether you enjoy mixing business with golf, a leisurely day at the spa or relaxing on one of Floridas most beautiful beaches, the Wyndham Palm-Aire offers casual elegance and spacious accommodations at an exceptional price.

Our Friday the 13th (6/13/2008, lol) scuba diving trip at the Georgia Aquarium. We were one of the very first ever able to do this. Imagine being within millions of gallons of water, surrounded by all sorts of various fish, from whale sharks, hammerheads, blacktips, sawfish, whiprays, giant grouper, tarpon, etc. The experience was absolutely amazing! If you scuba, you should do this!

The first 3 minutes is the opener, filmed previously, that most likely everyone will get on their video of their scuba diving adventure. The next 5:47 seconds is actually the pod (dive team) we were apart of. At 3:00 min in exactly, you will see me on the far right, and and my best friend next to me. From then, you’ll see us throughout the remaining of the video.

Great news article from the AP about the GA Aquarium:

From the Georgia Aquarium’s website:

http://www.georgiaaquarium.org/swimOrDive/index.aspx

“Dive with Gentle Giants is the only opportunity in the world where you are guaranteed to SCUBA dive with the largest fish in the world, the whale shark, in Georgia Aquarium’s Ocean Voyager exhibit.”
