New Gay Tour Operator Caters to Evolving LGBT Segment In 1986, the first all-gay cruise set sail out of New Orleans with
750 guests thanks to Kevin Mossier, founder of RSVP Vacations. Because
of the social climate of the time, during the height of the AIDS
epidemic and socialized homophobia, Mossier saw a need to create a safe
place for gays and lesbians to vacation. According
to Charlie Rounds, who was one of Minneapolis-based RSVP’s early
employees and later became part owner, the gay and lesbian travel market
has evolved significantly since the 1980s. |

Once the exclusive domain of jaguars and monkeys, the
darkest depths of the jungle have come to light with Rain Forest Adventures’
Costa Rica Atlantic and Pacific eco-tourism parks. This is where education
meets thrilling sensations, with aerial tram tours high into the canopy,
heart-pounding zip lines and expansive hiking trails—and where having fun is a
means of protecting precious rainforest land. More than 400 species of birds
make these parks a bird-watchers heaven, medicinal plants such as ginger,
vanilla, sugar cane, coffee and bay rum perfume the air, and expert guides lead
you every step of the way. |

Wendy, a Masters Divinity Std and Blue Dolphins Employee: Posted on Thursday, November 17, 2011 11:40 PM
My 4 girlfriends hit the beach for a week of relaxation & fun. Of the many experiences we shared, our Blue Dolphin Tour marked our trips highlight.
Our captain Gordon entertained us with humorous stories of years on the water around Shell Island. While these tales entertained all of us, he beamed when relaying stories of Scar, a local dolphin he named due to a small black scar on his dorsal fin. Gordon told us about Scar as a baby dolphin (young of year) and the years when Scar's mom pursued the waters with him. |

included for variety.
“Callaway Gardens is a great location for fly fishers who normally
travel North to trout fish,” said Mike Wall, fishing operations manager
