Web surfers will find non-profit organizations, literature, and even a pizza company. In the process they may miss out on the adventurous opportunities waiting in the world of grottos, specifically, via Hal Watts' Forty Fathom Grotto, located 40 minutes from Ocala, Florida.

St. Maarten

St. Maarten

Ahh! Stable ground. Fresh off the Grand Princess cruise ship I took in the salty and humid early morning air as I strolled along the squeaky clean sidewalk at the A.C. Wathey Pier at Pointe Blanche, in Dutch Sint Maarten. Sint Maarten is the world’s smallest land mass that is home to two sovereign nations…Dutch on the south side and French on the north. Sint Maarten is part of the Netherland Antilles, along with Curacoa, Bonaire, Saba, and St. Eustatuis.…

Curacao

Curacao

Ocala, Florida

Ocala, Florida

Contrary to a great deal of native Floridian’s belief, many tourists view Florida as a place of intrigue. They think of it as a tropical destination just made for relaxation and entertainment. As a native Floridian myself, writing about the state has helped me to realize that all of the beauty, history, and mystique that attracts and beholds visitors was staring me right in the face when I was growing up. Now, I find myself learning about seemingly unlimited special…
