Does it feel like it’s been raining forever? Yes? That’s because it has. I can’t wait for this dreary weather to stop, seems we have had nothing but gray skies, wind and rain for the best part of three weeks now. It has rained on our parade several times, whether at a recent wedding or […]
De Leon Springs – Pancakes In Paradise
When you think about Florida’s beautiful springs, what springs to mind (no pun intended) is perhaps swimming, kayaking, relaxing and just generally having a great time outdoors. Right? You wouldn’t necessarily think about a spring as a food destination. Well, think again. Occasionally, the springs have interesting concessionaires. De Leon Springs State Park in Volusia […]
Grassy Waters Preserve – West Palm Beach’s Piece Of The Everglades
I can’t believe that we only recently heard about this place. It’s fabulous and very accessible to all South Floridians, being just west of West Palm Beach. There is so much to do and see here, you will want to visit time and time again. The preserve is quite large with 23 square miles, and […]
Where have I been?
I can’t believe this is my first post in 2018, the first since October 2017! I almost lost my mojo and not just for writing the blog, but indeed generally. Annoyingly, the start of 2018 was marred by niggling illnesses and being incapacitated due to a knee injury. You could say that I felt (and […]
Head To Busch Wildlife Sanctuary in Jupiter For A Fun Few Hours

Dolphin Research Center In Marathon – Fun With A Serious Porpoise
Do you remember Flipper? Did you know that several dolphins actually played that part, and did you know that Flipper was filmed at what is now the Dolphin Research Center? No? Neither did I. That’s just some of the many interesting facts about the Dolphin Research Center, a great place to visit with all the […]
Kayaking With Live Music And Sharks? Have It All In The Little Basin, Islamorada!
First of all, this little adventure could involve a secret kayak and SUP launch. However, I am so protective of it – it is free and small and lovely – that I am not going to plaster the location all over the internet. Nope. Sorry – not sorry! The good news is that there are […]
The History Of Diving Museum – Rainy Day Fun In The Keys
The month of June this year started with more rain than one could ever wish for. In fact, as I am writing this, drops are pummeling my windows once again. Sigh. When you live in the ‘Sunshine State’, you expect the sun to be shining. When it doesn’t, a lot of the usual outdoor activities […]
