  The gift of time may be the best gift you can give.
  When it came to gift giving, in the past we used to give material goods as presents. That CD they wanted, a sweater, Star Wars mug or some other thing that we'd heard that was a heart's desire.

  In our travels we have visited lots of locales - but we've never actually been on any kind of organized tour.
  Oh, we have taken a lot of trips around the Sunshine State. But our favorite destinations have been smaller, funky and interesting towns that we've explored on our own. Matlacha for instance, is tiny but there is...
  We think that Florida films are fun. Moreover, we've found there are plenty of them! There are classics like Key Largo, Easy to Love and Kid Galahad.

 Have you ever been Glamping? Do you even know what it is? The word actually is a contraction of "glamour" and "camping." It describes a style of outdoor accommodations with amenities and, in some cases, resort-style services not usually associated with "traditional" camping as we know it.
 It's a lot more than hiking to a destination, pitching a...
To be honest, we've never been big on taking guided tours as we wend our way through the Sunshine State. However, recently we have become aware of a group in central Florida that might change our minds.  Ingeniously dubbed "Mosquito County Tours," it's the brainchild of Mandy Longo.  About a decade ago, she began taking walking tours hosted by...
  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...
 Officials of the American Automobile Association predict more Americans will travel for this Independence Day than every before. In fact, they say record-breaking 46.9 million Americans probably will journey 50 miles or more away from home/ That's up five percent from last year and the highest number since AAA began tracking 18 years ago.
  And those who follow us know...
  Officials of the American Automobile Associations say a new study shows that American workers took an average of 17.2 days of vacation last year. According to new research from Project: Time Off that shows a half-day increase from 2016. This marks the highest level for American vacation usage since 2010 when we took an average of 17.5 days...
