PBA FAMILY LAW SECTION SUMMER MEETING You’ll enjoy delightful days in the Florida sunshine at the Hyatt Regency Coconut Point Resort & Spa in Bonita Springs, where choices abound for recreation, relaxation and fine dining. Florida vacations are all about the beautiful outdoors. Pools, water slides, golf, tennis, biking, and a climbing wall are just a sampling of the exciting activities available at the resort. For more adventure, hit the beach, hop on a boat to search for dolphins, kayak through mangroves or shop in nearby Naples. Parasailing, water skiing and offshore fishing are all offered off-site. You needn’t leave the property to play tennis or golf, roast s’mores, join a volleyball game or try your hand at bocce. The Hyatt Regency Coconut Point boasts seven restaurants and bars — ranging from the poolside Corkscrew to the four-diamond Tanglewood. Jutting out over the water, Tarpon Bay has a beach cottage vibe. The chef infuses the freshest seafood with innovative combinations of herbs and spices for a truly memorable meal. Find a seat at the inviting bar for a drink, throw in fantastic live music, and you are in for a special evening. Even indoors, you will enjoy breathtaking views of the lush grounds and waterways. Natural light, contemporary decor and plenty of space make the accommodations delightful. We will be providing each registrant with a “memory stick” version of the CLE materials. We know you are familiar with the usual PBI blue book, but the PBAFLS is “going green,” so your “book” will come to you as a computer enhancement.
