So last week I was minding my own business and cruising my Facebook page when I came upon an online trivia show hosted by Visit Bradenton Gulf Islands. Well, I decided to play along and ended up winning an echo dot.
Visit Bradenton Gulf Islands is the official travel planning resource for Anna Maria...
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...
Recently my wife and I had a discussion over which we liked better the Florida sunrise or sunset. First, we decided that "better" might not be the proper word. For us, it might rather be "which do you prefer?"

 The outbreak of Covid-19 brings great travel preparation opportunities for those of us who like to travel. We agree with officials of the American Automobile Association. They project that many Floridians' cars could be parked in the driveway for at least another month.

However, it is more than that. We just like to be with each other and traveling gives us...
Well February has arrived - and that means it's Fabulous Florida Strawberry Month. I know we are happy about it. There are hundreds of roadside vendors and U-picks full of our favorite fruit. Possibly the best part is that February means the annual Florida Strawberry Festival is right around the corner.

Recently we had an opportunity to go out of state and the "Welcome to Florida" sign is something we anticipate. As always, we stopped in at the Florida Visitor's Center. This time it was The Joseph O. Striska Official Welcome Center located on I-75 in beautiful Hamilton County.
In all, there actually are five official...
January is Be Kind to Food Servers Month. So we thought we might take this opportunity to echo that thought. Those who follow us here at Florida Fun Travel, know we do a lot of eating on the road. We have dined when the place was crammed with snowbirds. We also have eaten at restaurants that...
