Sebring International Raceway Press Officer Ken Breslauer has released a new book that is a must for anyone who enjoys the Sunshine State and the tourists who come here.   "Florida Roadside Attraction History" in fact is a complete guide to the Florida tourist attractions before Disney and offers a real insight to the wide array of ideas that...
  We have vacationed many times on the Gulf Coast of Florida but never had visited Fort Myers Beach. Recently we went there and found out that we had been missing quite a lot. The Edison Beach House   It began with an internet search where we discovered The Edison Beach House Hotel. So we decided to give it a try....
National Picnic Day is coming up, so we decided to go and have a real Florida picnic in preparation to blog about this blessed event. We had seen an old fashioned hoedown advertised near Bartow - and had planned to attend that even. However, after hours of searching (it seems our satellite and computer-aided guidance...
   When it comes to overnighters it does not take much to keep Adventure Wife and me entertained. For instance, a 90 minute trip to Sarasota for their weekly farmer's market can make for quite a fun time.    In the past, we have just set the alarm and headed out before sunrise in an effort to be at the...
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...

We stumbled on The Mango Bistro quite by accident and it was a lucky find. On Dearborn Street in Englewood, it is at the gateway to the little downtown area. When we found it, we had been in search of a farmer's market which apparently ended in May. The reviews we saw in TripAdvisor enticed...
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...
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...
Tucked back off the Highway, it's a nice little property.
