For some time we had heard about the legendary shelling at Sanibel Island but it was not until recently we packed up the Funmobile and headed out to see what the fuss was all about.
Mrs. Funmeister had done the requisite due diligence and found us overnight accommodations at the Castaway Cottages so that we would have a place to...
In the past we have stayed at many chain hotels. Most of the time we had flags we trusted where we also could earn points. However, lately we have tried some boutique hotels. The latest is the Inn at the Beach Venice - which proved to be a wonderful experience.

We were looking for fun things to do in Vero Beach on our last trip there. In our past visits we'd seen McKee Botanical Gardens but never had visited. This time we vowed to give it a try.

Recently we had the opportunity to return and show...
 Generally when we travel, Mrs Funmeister and I like to explore new things. And that includes places to stay.  However, we have started to find locations in some of our favorite spots that have become go-to options. That is, places we have found that we can count on. Reliable choices for dining, exploring or lodging....
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.
