Edison & Ford Winter Estates Tour

Thomas Edison and Henry Ford spent many winters together in Southwest Florida. Their winter homes - Edison’s “Seminole Lodge” and Ford’s “The Mangoes" – will bring you to a bygone era of design and architecture. Edison’s inventive genius is evident throughout his 14-acre riverfront estate, with his love of exotic and useful foliage on display in his botanical gardens and his landmark “Botanic Research Laboratory.” You’ll also visit a museum with hundreds of Edison’s inventions and artifacts, including a unique Model T prototype presented to him by Ford.
Parasailing
1:15 - 4:00 pm
Take flight for an exhilarating ride 350-feet above Naples beach. Soaring like an eagle, you’ll get panoramic views of the Gulf of Mexico and may even spot dolphins, manatees, and stingrays. Solo and tandem parasailing is available.
Vintage trolleys will take you through a fantastic guided tour through Naples’ historic Fifth Avenue. Known for world class boutiques, unique art galleries and charming eateries, you’ll experience some of the finest shopping and sweets in the country. One highlight is a stop at “Royalty & Hollywood,” a stylish boutique that showcases replicated jewelry collections from Jacqueline Kennedy, Princess Diana, Marilyn Monroe, Audrey Hepburn, and more. The afternoon will end with High Tea at Brambles Tea Room, one of Naples hidden treasures, and some time to shop at your leisure.
A visit to Southwest Florida isn’t complete without a thrilling airboat sightseeing ride through the twisting mangrove tunnels of the Everglades. Each airboat captain is Coast Guard certified and an authority on the intricate waterways and the sights and sounds of its wildlife. You’ll end the day with a visit to Florida’s Alligator Park.

Sonia has studied the impact on society, and will share how this rapid rise in centenarians will have a huge — and positive — effect on family, careers, retirement and healthcare.
Sonia Arrison is an author, analyst, entrepreneur and investor. Her research focuses on exponentially growing technologies and their impact on society.
