We always are looking for a good breakfast and we found one in Osprey at A Good Day Cafe. Their slogan is "A Good Day Starts Here" and as far as we're concerned, they're right.
Actually, we found this little gem tucked in the corner of the Blackburn Point shopping center just off Tamiami Trail. It's the kind of place...
No, we didn't go to a seafood restaurant, we took some time to venture down to Port Charlotte. Where we saw the home opener of the Charlotte Stone Crabs minor league baseball team.
We have seen the Florida Firefrogs, the Jupiter Hammerheads and the Lakeland Flying Tigers. So this was the latest in our...
Over our last few visits, we have found there are lots of things to do in Vero Beach. So, recently we decided to return. After no small amount of research, we decided again to stay at the Prestige Hotel. Although their ocean view rooms were a bit past our pricepoint, we were able to get a room...
Those who follow us know we like new dining experiences. When we saw the Flashback Diner in Boca Raton, we expected to find the standard white-tile-and-chrome burger joint with 1950's music grinding away in the background.
Boy, were we wrong.
Walking up to the place was our first clue. There was stylish...
We have stayed at a couple of Best Western Motels in the past. There even were a couple of former Best Westerns that had been converted under the Baymont flag. For the most part they were OK, but in the long run were not that great.
Our stay at the Best Western Plus Ambassador Suites...
So last week I was minding my own business and cruising my Facebook page when I came upon an online trivia show hosted by Visit Bradenton Gulf Islands. Well, I decided to play along and ended up winning an echo dot.

In Spanish, Punta Gorda translates to "Fat Point." We have visited "Florida's Harborside Hometown" on several occasions. Perched at the convergence of the Peace River and Charlotte Harbor, it's a large promontory point, that gives the city its name.
Punta Gorda offers plenty of different little neighborhoods that provide opportunities for shopping and sightseeing. Marion Street,...
As we turn our eyes to the advent of St. Patrick's' Day, Irish cuisine is on the horizon. On a recent trip to Melbourne we spotted Meg O'Malley's Restaurant & Irish Pub - it may well have been the highlight of our downtown experience.
The place is packed with atmosphere
This was a great...
So we first tried Dimitri's on the Water in Tarpon Springs last November when we were there for Thanksgiving. This time however, we were staying off site as we'd been invited to a reception for the Tampa Boat Show. With all due respect, we didn't want to stay in The Big Guava - and Tarpon Springs is...
