Florida has been actively reopen- ing, including theme parks such as Dis- ney World. Tourists are visiting, and the hospitality industry is starting to recover there. Everyone at the Caribe Royale, our venue for this year, is ready to welcome us with open arms. And now that more is open for activities, it will be a great time to bring your family along for a vacation at the same time.
