When traveling, our eternal question has been - what is the best hotel value where we are traveling? Should we look for a quaint boutique hotel or stick with a chain operation?
In the past, we have had great stays at great little boutique places like The Sea Spray Inn at Vero Beach, the Inn...
We recently have been alerted to a new place in the south end of the state that has all the earmarks of a Florida Fun Zone. Fixpresso is the destination for great coffee at a fixed price with everything on the menu set at just $2 each. Food and beverages – from latte coffees, chocolate croissants, to turkey sandwiches –...
We love to find hidden gems - and The Florida Air Museum certainly is one of those. Tucked in on the grounds of the Lakeland Linder Airport, it is a small complex with a wide array of aircraft.
When you first arrive, you'll note the area is dotted by many different kinds of aircraft. Jets,...
  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...
While looking for a great breakfast in Venice recently, we rediscovered the Original Word of Mouth. Actually, we'd found this place once before - the first time we visited "The Sharktooth Capital of the World." And just like the first time, we had a wonderful experience.

We pulled into the parking lot to a single story building. It was before lunch so there weren't...
  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...
Recently we blogged about our trip to Delray Beach and their Green market. The experience inspired us to go back to the Sarasota Farmers' Market for what we think is probably the best of its kind in the State of Florida. At 40-years old, it certainly is one of the longest-lived in the Sunshine State.

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...
 We had the opportunity to visit Dade City just in time for their Kumquat Festival this past January. There literally were hundreds of vendors and thousands of people packing the streets of this tiny burg for this annual event. City blocks were sealed off for the double rows of 10x10 pop-up tents featuring...
