My day at Gulf World Panama City Beach was really interesting and a lot of fun. I always turn into a child again every time I go into any sort of animal park, especially marine animals. The layout to Gulf World is very easy to get around and compact. I went there to go Swim with the Dolphins and this program is all it is lived up to be and then some extra are thrown into it to make it…
Taking my Godson somewhere special for his birthday is always important to me and we decided to see where the Seminole Indians live. This Indian tribe is the one that offers this amazing day at Billie Swamp Safari. So we set off from Fort Lauderdale, west, for the 1 ½ hour drive into the Florida Everglades where the Indians live. Since living in South Florida for many years, I have heard of Billie Swamp Safari but today was the day…

Coming to the Panhandle of Florida was a new experience for me, I have heard about it for years as the Spring Break Capital of the World and also call the RedNeck Riviera, due to the large number of regional tourist from Florida, Georgia, and Alabama. Even though I would not get to experience either types of tourist because I came here in November where it was practically empty of most tourist, my day was action packed and fun. I…
s a recent college student, of course, I went away for spring break one year. My roommate’s and I looked for a sunny and warm destination to get away from studying and South Beach Miami was an obvious choice for us. My college had Spring Break at the end of March and the weather in the North East was still chilly. My girlfriends and I were ready for some fun and sun in South Beach Miami because it has an…
As the travel brochures and the tour guides are quick to point out, St. Augustine does not claim to be the oldest city in the United States, but the oldest continuously occupied European colony. Either way, a visit to St. Augustine is a trip through history - over four hundred years of it. And a city of contrasts. From its Spanish beginning, which is especially evident in its architecture, to its modern attractions, St. Augustine and Northeastern Florida is blessed…
Without losing any of its original vitality, the city of Fort Lauderdale has grown up and along the way become a sleek, dynamic oceanfront community. Gone are the days when this was a small provincial town attracting college revelers during spring break to the Fifties hit refrain of where the boys are. Nowadays, all of that has given way to a city primed for the twenty-first century, where the elites of business, society and international leisure lifestyles mingle easily along…

From my home in Ft. Lauderdale a day trip to the west coast of Florida is satisfying. Our first trip to the Ft. Myers area allowed us to explore some of the best attractions around, Thomas Edison and Henry Ford’s house, Bowditch Point Park, and Lover’s Key State Park. The Thomas Edison and Henry Ford house was an enjoyable start to our day, but finding it was a little difficult. There weren’t any signs off I-75, the main North/South highway…
