Our school took some of our students who are interested in aviation, aerospace, and science to Naples Airport in Naples. This was one of the best experiences the students had the entire week of trips that we took. The tour guides, staff, pilots, secretaries, hostess, security, air traffic controllers, etc were the best! They were so kind, experienced, fun, and caring of our students learning the ins and outs of the operations of an airport. The students were glued in to all that they were taught and showed.

I sat myself down and clicked 'full body'. I've never felt such pleasure before, it grabbed onto me and started rubbing the stress away. After feeling well looked after, I grabbed some complementary snacks and headed out to pay. The only downside is it's a bit spenny at about $25, but definitely worth it at least once.
