I am an enthusiastic amateur fossil collector and I have the opportunity to pop over to Florida for ten days (from Wales) after just retiring from nursing for 45 years. I am a solo traveler and would like some suggestions of unique accommodation, best places to visit in December 2022 for fossil collecting. I am an inexperienced padi diver but have just renewed my practice. Any suggestions would be appreciated rather than the usual places you see on face book etc.

The bad news is that, in April, I turn 40. Good news is that I'll be taking the self-gifting opportunity to take my missus overseas around May. I am blocking off 3 weeks of travel: one week in Lisbon, and two weeks in various locations in Morocco. Trip of a lifetime. I have been to Lisbon before (and loved it, including a self-guided day trip to Sintra). Apart from enjoying all that Lisbon has to offer, I am hoping to connect with some of our local TFF members there for a day trip. in terms of Morocco, I am planning one week of culture tourism, but the second for fossil collecting. As an outsider, I will be purchasing the services of a reputable guide. Before I approach my travel agent, I was hoping to tap the wisdom of our TFF members who have been there as to the more reputable guide services. I have read that GeoAtlas tours are good, but would prosper from the experiences of others. That way I could better direct my travel agent who may not have the knowledge and experience others here might. thanks in advance for your insights! PS: Although @Ludwigia doesn't know it yet, my 50th involves a guided tour by him in Germany so that I, too, can find unripened glauconitic ammonites
