Several months ago we were making arrangements to take one of the offerings of Discover Sarasota Tours. Then the Coronavirus outbreak took hold and things came to a screeching halt. All tours were put on hold until further notice.
However, it now appears further notice finally has arrived.
We have learned...
There are lots of fun specialty shops along the Gulf coast. One of our great finds is the Ukulele Place. We discovered it tucked in behind the Breakfast Cottage in Nokomis.
The first time I tried the door the place was closed. But the webpage has a warning that the owners might well be...
When looking for the best hotel in Fort Myers beach, it may be more like the best hotel for the money. We have generally stayed at the Edison Beach House. I can tell you, there's very little wrong and a lot right with that place.
This time, we decided to look around and see...
We were headed for Made in the Shade Ice Cream and discovered an Englewood restaurant that's is a whole lot of fun. The Country Hound Cafe. It's a mom & pop operation that's as good as any and better than most.
Tucked in the corner of the Palm Plaza off McCall Road - it's...
When we found Pane E Vino, we didn't know it would be one of the best restaurants in Melbourne. In fact, it is one of the best restaurants we have encountered. Certainly it is the best Italian cuisine we have come across in our travels.

We called an old standby, the LaQuinta Inn & Suites...
You know, we all scream for ice cream. And recently we had an opportunity to make a sweet stop for some ice cream in Englewood. It was a place I'd wanted to visit for a while. Made in the Shade Ice Cream was one of our first followers on Instagram and always has been faithful in...
Recently we went looking for an economical stay on Florida's Gulf coast. That's when we found the Bentley Boutique Hotel. A hotel at such a reasonable pricepoint always is a bit of a gamble. But when we got there - we found Bentley's to be just right.
Location
  For instance, the Bentley Boutique Hotel is in the center...
Good news for us but bad news for others - the SpaceX manned launch has been pushed back. It's now set for Saturday, May 30. This means we might get a chance to sneak over to the Space Coast for this historic event.
To tell you the truth, we can hardly wait. For us,...
So we chose a Vero Beach getaway for our first real trip after the great Covid-19 scare of 2020. Actually, it was not a real getaway as the restaurants had not opened for sit down dining and some of the places we wanted to go were not yet opened.
But never fear, we'll be...
