Celebrate our Military – Fleet Week 2010 at Port Everglades, Florida

March 17, 2010 in Events, Family Travel, Florida Hotels by Steven

In the past we’ve covered Fleet Weeks in San Francisco, San Diego and even New York City. I’d say it’s about time this awesome tradition sailed on down to South Florida. Besides, what better chance to field fallen Representative Eric Massa’s challenge to “ask the 10,000 guys I served with in the Navy”?
Okay, so maybe [...]

Valentine’s Day in Hollywood, FL – Hotel and Packages

January 26, 2010 in Florida Hotels, Holidays, Outdoor Adventure, Romance by Steven

When I do Valentine’s Day on the beach, you know I’m running behind for the day. It’s just so easy! Blazing sunsets, a calm surf, you and your loved one walking hand in hand. Beachfront Valentine’s is the proverbial fish in a barrel. Which doesn’t make it at all a bad idea…

South Florida Vacations – Loxahatchee National Wildlife Refuge

January 5, 2010 in Family Travel, Florida Hotels, Outdoor Adventure, Zoos by Steven

From the Caribbean heat of Miami Beach to the exuberant family fun of Orlando, the state of Florida is one of the nation’s most diverse vacation destinations. Even more importantly, it’s also one of the most diverse ecological destinations, with regions comparable even to South American rainforests.

Among these, the sadly narrowing dollop of natural wetlands [...]

November 19, 2009 in Florida Hotels, Golf, Outdoor Adventure, Sports by Steven

There’s nothing sadder than a golfer with frozen balls. Grab your clubs and head some place warm for the winter, some place where the bright green beauty of summer never goes out of style, some place like Cocoa Beach, Florida on the Space Coast.

Get Wet this Winter – Wet ‘n Wild Vacations in Orlando

November 18, 2009 in Family Travel, Florida Hotels, Holidays, Outdoor Adventure by Steven

Your town may not be straddled with snow yet, but you know it’s coming. What you may not know is that while you waste a gallon of gas every morning “warming up” the car, there’s a place in this country where the people still look forward to weekend trips to the water park. In fact, [...]

November 5, 2009 in Family Travel, Florida Hotels, Outdoor Adventure by Steven

Now here’s a cool one. Forget your cushy bus tours, sleepy Segway strolls and caviar cruises, we’ve got a tour that’ll really give you something to talk about. Something to get you back to nature … so close, in fact, it could bite you (but it won’t).
Ride-the-Wind Airboat Adventures is one of the best tours [...]

Fright Nights at South Florida Fairgrounds

October 22, 2009 in Events, Family Travel, Florida Hotels, Ghost Tours, Holidays by Steven

Our friends at sister blog South Florida Travel Guide did all the leg work for me on this one. See the original story here.
Enough slasher films have been set in tropical paradises, I think, to justify finding yourself a little scare-tainment next time you head through the Palm Beach area. That’s why we recommend Fright [...]

Wild Side Tours of Cocoa Beach, Florida

September 24, 2009 in Family Travel, Florida Hotels, Outdoor Adventure by Steven

Seems like every time we head to Florida we talk about some horizon-blotting, ecological footprint-having, multimillion dollar man-made thing – from Disneyworld to Universal Studios to the Kennedy Space Center. Don’t get me wrong, we love’em, but I thought we’d take a step back this time and let the natural beauty of the Florida coastline [...]
