Recently we had a chance to get back to Siesta Key. In the past it was voted America's #1 Beach. There, we enjoyed our second stay at a little retro place called Captiva. It's one of a group of lodging facilities on Sara Sea Circle, The facility has the feel of a 1960's-style motel...
Like the title says - you know citrus season is here when the oranges arrive at Maxwell Groves. In the sleepy little hamlet of Avon Park sits a small packing house known as Maxwell Groves. It is one of the hidden gems of Central Florida and one of the last vestiges of the old-time citrus...
We found Oscar Scherer State Park almost directly across the street from Bentley's Boutique Hotel in Osprey. We'd seen the signs on previous visits, but hadn't had the time to visit. It was not our first Florida state park. In the past, we explored Highlands Hammock State Park - a sprawling facility in Highlands County. However, at almost 1400 acres...
Over the course of our travels, we've found the beaches of the Suncoast are difficult to beat. From Fort Myers to Sarasota there's a nearly continuous stretch of white sand and blue water. The beaches are teeming with shells, sharks teeth, fun and sun. On a recent trip, we decided to work our way...

If you like great food in a fun atmosphere Ford's Garage is a wonderful choice. We first found a location in Brandon back in September of 2017 while searching TripAdvisor. It was the outside that initially intrigued us. Old Ford cars and trucks were parked about the building as exterior decor. My favorite part was...
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. A "Boutique...
Eating healthy while traveling has been a challenge for us. Those who follow us know that we are seniors and that we believe in eating more natural fare. Many years ago Hippocrates said, " Let thy food be thy medicine and thy medicine be thy food." That said, finding such restaurants while traveling can...
As you may, or may not, know - September is Bourbon Heritage month. And there's still time to celebrate! When it comes to Bourbon whiskey many folks don't know that the Sunshine State offers you a lot of options.  We have had the opportunity to visit some of these locations and they are...
