Robert Is Here-Homestead

I’m sure your first question as I recommend Robert Is Here is, I’m supposed to visit a fruit stand? The answer is, yes, but Robert Is Here is not your average fruit stand. Needing a little fuel in the morning, we stop at Robert Is Here. I heard they have smoothies, and I appreciate a…
Everglades National Park-Shark Valley

The walkers observe us hungrily, as the Shark Valley Tram, in Everglades National Park, makes its way back to the visitors’ center. I imagine at the start of the day, ambition and motivation, convinced them the loop is an easy saunter. Reaching the tower, the view incites oohhs and aahhs, until reality sets in. After…
Big Cypress National Preserve-Florida

“Stay right there, I have to get the book,” directs Park Ranger Maggie, at Big Cypress National Preserve. The book is where Park Rangers record the “quote of the day.” I don’t inquire if all National Park sites have a quote of the day book, or just Big Cypress. I am too excited. Entering the…
“Lounging” Around Disney-Round 3-Epcot Fun

Out of the theme parks to go “Lounging” Around Disney, Epcot is a great option.

Since we’re not quantity drinkers, and I like to keep the contents of my…
Staying at Disney’s Caribbean Beach Resort

Though some of the lounges visited during our “Lounging” Around Disney tour have been close to a usual bar, some lounges offer entrancing…

We Eat A Lot of Orlando Ice Cream-2nd Edition

Where vacation goers congregate, so the ice cream resides. With Orlando being one of the meccas of vacations, there is more creamy delights to eat than there is time to eat it, but I try to do my part. The Basket at Wine Bar George – Disney Springs A fantastic thing about being a grown-up,…
Breakfast at Ohana-Disney World

We arrive bright and early to the Polynesian Resort’s, Ohana. Our group of 10 is checked in by a woman who I assume is part of a cloning project run by a butter loving scientist who wanted to ensure there would always be two Paula Deens in the world. The table that will be our…
