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...
We would like to take this opportunity to share some scenes from the Sarasota Farmers' Market.
One of our favorite outdoor shopping experiences has been this exposition in Sarasota. It has been a great source of entertainment and goodies to take home. In fact, we have written about it in the past. This time, however, we thought we'd let you...
Recently we had a chance to get back to Siesta Key. In the past it was voted America's #1 Beach.
There, we enjoyed our second stay at a little retro place called Captiva. It's one of a group of lodging facilities on Sara Sea Circle, The facility has the feel of a 1960's-style motel...
When visiting Anna Maria Island there are certain places you need to visit. Of course there's shopping on Pine Avenue, a meal at Ginny & Jane E's and the iconic Rod & Reel Pier.
We found it highly recommended by locals and reviewers on TripAdvisor alike. It is the essence of AMI - that...
Those who follow us know we love the fun and funky. And The Bubble Room fits that bill to a "T." It's has both the quirky atmosphere we love and the food's not bad either. Our first experience was on our initial trip to Sanibel.
Recently we had the opportunity to return and show...
When we vacation we go to a lot of places that have funky and fun themes, but the food does not live up to the atmosphere. However, the Island Cow on Sanibel Island is an absolute exception.
Sanibel is one of the Gulf coast communities that is just chocked full of great places. On...
Our recent trip to Indian Rocks Beach showed us that IRB makes for a great getaway on the Florida Gulf Coast. Like our opportunity to stay at a condo at Anna Maria Island, this also was a condo experience.

Our stay at the Da Vinci at Indian Rocks Beach cemented our opinion that...
In the past, we had seen numerous posts about the charming fishing village of Cortez. So when we went to the Gulf coast recently, we decided to make a stop there and have a look around.
According to the latest census, there are fewer than 5,000 people in this sleepy little village. That appears...
Over the course of our travels, we've found the beaches of the Suncoast are difficult to beat. From Fort Myers to Sarasota there's a nearly continuous stretch of white sand and blue water. The beaches are teeming with shells, sharks teeth, fun and sun.
On a recent trip, we decided to work our way...
We spent some time in a condo at beautiful Anna Maria Island recently. While we were there, we discovered the Pine Avenue shopping experience. This little street has one of the most interesting and diverse gathering of shops we have seen in our travels.
From The Studio At Gulf & Pine to The Anna Maria...
