For all the years we have lived in Florida we never really knew much about Eau Gallie. We were aware that it was a town someplace but never knew exactly where it was. We recently found out when we went to Melbourne and attended their First Friday celebration.
Eau Gallie in fact...
It's Two Towns in One
Tarpon Springs
Generally when we travel, we head out to some kind of festival or special event. Most recently it was the inaugural Opa Palooza in Tarpon Springs. But as we traversed both the downtown areas and the world-famous sponge docks, it became glaringly apparent that the best parts of a visit are there year 'round.

So I was scrolling through my Facebook page and one of my friends had posted they were at the TooJay's Deli and Restaurant in Orlando. Earlier, we did a story about First Watch as a go-to place for breakfast. In that same way, TooJay's is our go-to place for go to deli food.

When in Punta Gorda, we found that a stop by Fishermen's Village is a must. In short, it's a resort, marina, shopping area and entertainment complex rolled into one.

 My wife and I were offered a new and exciting experience - flying on a Ford Tri-Motor airliner. Naturally, we jumped at the opportunity. It was one of the features during the US Sport Aviation Expo at Sebring Regional Airport.
Dressing for the Occasion
 We decided to dress for the trip. Just as when commercial air travel was in...
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...
When it comes to the best Greek food in Florida - you would have to go a bit to top the Krazy Greek. Our first review of the Krazy Greek (now in Winter Haven) was back in 2018. We loved it then and we love it now.
Since that time we have visited a lot...
