The Everglades With the past 4 days spent exploring the space coast, big cities, and beautiful beaches of Florida, we decided to mix things up a bit and explore what Florida’s nature has got to offer to us. As it happened to be, the Everglades National park was on the way home. With one of […]

Key West Again Today we planned to visit Key West again (read about Key West Day 1), but since our hotel was about an hour east of Key West in the city of Marathon, we started the morning off with a visit to the Bahia Honda State Park. The entrance fee was just $8 and […]

  Key West: After spending a fun-filled day in the Miami area, it was time to keep the caravan moving south towards Key West. Since we left late from Miami, we decided to spend the night at Florida City which is the gateway to the Keys. There are a lot of good chain hotels here […]

Miami Next stop is the beautiful and trendy city of South Beach in Miami! We woke up on a sunny Sunday morning and made our way to the world-famous south beach nicknamed SoBe. South Beach has been glamorized on TV shows and movies and rightly so. This beach city is a paradise filled with endless […]

Written by Nisheet: With family in town for the holidays on their first ever visit to Florida, we decided what better way to discover the sunshine state than taking a 6 day whirlwind road trip thru the state.

That means for the past several years, everyone has had to travel to Chicago. It is cold, usually snowy, and really sets the tone for the upcoming holiday season. We had our traditions […]

My mom and I went on a 5 day cruise to the Cayman Islands and Mexico for my birthday. We used to go on cruises every year in March/April, but we haven’t had the chance in the past couple years. And, now, since I live in Tampa Bay, it was the perfect opportunity to start […]

Dunedin Only a 15 minute drive from the popular Clearwater Beach and home to the famous Honeymoon Island is Dunedin, Florida. If you don’t want to sound like a tourist, it is pronounced Dun-e-din and comes from Dùn Èideann which is the Scottish Gaelic name for Edinburgh. Although the city shares its name with Scotland’s capital […]

Tarpon Springs Away from all the hustle and bustle of Tampa and away from the busy, touristy gulf beaches is the quaint little city of Tarpon Springs, Florida. Stepping into this town is like going back in time and into an old Greek harbor town busy with shops and smells of kabobs floating in the air. It all started […]
