August is Motor Sports Awareness Month and the Sebring International Raceway already is celebrating. The Mobil 1 12 Hours of Sebring has been voted the best motorsports event in North America.
That designation comes from fans voting in the USA Today's '10best' poll. It is a month-long election that pits 20 top racing events against each...
There is nothing that surpasses the importance of research in planning a getaway. We use TripAdvisor to review the restaurants, lodging and points of interest in area we plan to visit. It helps us determine where we'll go and what we'll do.
Recently, we attended an extended family function where somebody else suggested...
On our way home from a trip up north, we were looking to find somewhere to explore and a wonderful restaurant at which to dine. We saw the sign for the DeLand Historic District. Subsequently, Mrs. Funmeister found the Santorini Restaurant home of Greek cuisine.
This was the start of a great adventure

The restaurant actually is located in Nokomis, inside a former post office. With both...
In the past we have discussed staying off-site as a means of saving money. We also have found it can save time and effort as well. We were on a mission to pick up relatives at Orlando International Airport and decided that instead of fighting holiday traffic on I-4, we decided to find a nearby hotel.

So we've been to Fort Myers Beach several times and we always have wanted to try Doc Ford's Rum Bar & Grille. The last time we walked around forever and couldn't find it. This time we got smart and put it in the GPS.
Once we got there we found a huge complex. There's indoor...
As we have traveled through Florida we have come up on some wonderful historic downtown areas. We've visited Melbourne, Punta Gorda and Bartow to name a few. Located just off the Tamiami Trail south of Venice, the shopping area along Dearborn Street in Englewood is every bit as enchanting.
