  • “Lounging” Around Disney-Round 4

    “Lounging” Around Disney-Round 4

     Lounging Around Disney-Round 4 was full of fun and friends.  Boathouse-Disney Springs I’m thrilled as my friend Len voices his desire to visit the bar at The Boathouse. Like me, he wishes to behold the famous Duck Duck Razz. If you make a picture-worthy drink, I’m there.   Blue Curacao, Stoli Razz, Peach Schnapps, lemon juice…

  • Disney Mini-Golf vs. Universal Mini-Golf

    Disney Mini-Golf vs. Universal Mini-Golf

    As recurring, theme park visitors, we’ve learned a thing or two along the way. One essential planning choice, break up high- energy park days, with one or two mellow, non-park, days. Some people use this day to lounge by the pool, see other resorts, or in our case, play miniature golf. But which theme park…

  • Private Disney Fireworks Cruise

    Private Disney Fireworks Cruise

    The pontoon bobs in the water, as the music swells. Bright, vivid colors, burst in the air. I have a moment of disbelief, during our Private Disney Fireworks Cruise. Am I really here?   I watched Disney movies as a kid, but I wasn’t really a Disney kid-fan. My favorite character as a child, was Lady…

    Bayside Marketplace-Miami

    Miami is a city, offering a variety of experiences. You can hob nob with the fancy, in South Beach.

  • Little Havana Food Tour-Miami

    Little Havana Food Tour-Miami

    As we stroll through the streets, during our Little Havana Food Tour. I take-in this new-to-me neighborhood. Though we’re still in the United States, only four hours from the bustling land of theme parks, the food, drinks, and streets, of Little Havana, are a learning opportunity.  One of my favorite things to do, when visiting…

  • Visiting Wynwood-Miami

    Visiting Wynwood-Miami

    Art is captivating. It’s fascinating that a living being formulates a dream in their mind, then conveys that dream to others, through pictures, through sculpture, through written/spoken words, through food, movement, or sound. Art stirs spirit. This is why visiting Wynwood-Miami is encouraged.  Full disclosure, we visit Wynwood-Miami first, for the ice cream. Salt &…

  • Staying at Port Orleans Riverside-Disney World

    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

    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

    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,…
