Staying at Port Orleans Riverside-Disney World

The sound of clip-clopping hooves, washes over me, as the carriage glides along the tree-lined paths, at Port Orleans Riverside. A family, each member expertly dressed as a character from The Little Mermaid, waves to us, as they set off to Mickey’s Not-So-Scary party. Instead of setting off full-steam ahead, at plane’s landing, we choose…
Yehaa Bob Show-Disney World

I learn an interesting self-fun fact, during the Yehaa Bob show. Thanks to the Coffee Break Spanish podcast, I mainly know the song Head, Shoulders, Knees and Toes, in Spanish. I fumble quite a bit, but I take Yehaa Bob’s spoken wisdom to heart, “Who cares what you look like, you are never going to…
Things to Do in Homestead-Florida

I did not know much about Homestead-Florida, as I researched our Everglades National Park trip. Unknown to me, was how many activities existed in this city, located between Miami and The Florida Keys. Many people just drive through, but it is worth a stop for exploration. The Coral Castle This popular, quirky, Homestead-Florida, tourist site,…
Biscayne National Park-Florida

Our boat gently bounces over the turquoise, National Park water. If your eyes need a dose of the Caribbean, without the Caribbean travel, Biscayne National Park will quench your vision. Biscayne National Park is one of the United States’ natural water parks. Though there is land, the park is mainly comprised of water. The Dante…
The Coral Castle-Homestead-Florida

The Coral Castle, located in Homestead Florida, is a fascinating site. Built by Latvian engineer/stone mason, Edward Leedskalnin, The Coral Castle is considered an example of wonderous engineering, impressively built before the use of, current, modern, technology. Most people visit The Coral Castle for the how. How As I chat with a fellow visitor, he…
Best Photo Spots in Disney World

I’ll admit that taking pictures at the best photo spots in Disney World started as a goof. I’ve always been described as the awkward and/or cute girl. Even a geeky girl. I’m absolutely fine with that. I embrace who I am. I know that I will NEVER be the hot, sexy, or stunning girl in…
Everglades National Park-Coe and Flamingo

Despite all of the spectacular nature, it is my favorite moment of the day, at Everglades National Park. “Are there any questions?” Park Ranger Ashley asks. A young girl, in a pink hat, raises her hand. “How do I become a Park Ranger? I really want to be a Park Ranger someday.” Park Ranger Ashley’s…
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…
