In honor of April Fools Day, here’s a list of foolish and foolhardy actions that are a foolproof way to make getting through airport security as painfully slow as possible:
Wear metal studded pants. You can’t take them off and put them through the metal detector, so they’re going to have to wand you. What were […]
Today is Admission Day for Florida, our 27th state, admitted to the Union on March 3rd, 1845.
Florida is located in the southeastern part of the country, with the Atlantic Ocean flanking one side, and the Gulf of Mexico the other. Ponce de Leon named it, and many believe that it was in Florida that he […]
When you hear the destination Miami Beach, what do you think of? If you’re like me, you probably think about sun and sand, the beaches and swimming pools, lazy days and wild parties at night, and a pretty laid back, carefree attitude. You aren’t far wrong if that’s what comes to mind.

After yesterday’s cold post, I wanted to get back to my warm comfort zone. In this case, that means Key West for the Pirates in Paradise Festival, November 30th-December 3rd.
All sorts of scurrilous sorts will appear for reenactments of pirate battles on the high seas, along with the National Walk the Plank Championships. You can […]
Orlando is a city of theme parks, tourists, and is frequently plastic and sterile. It’s also the angriest city in America. I guess that fake smile starts to grate after awhile.
Since I’ve been stuck at a hotel near the major theme parks, it’s been hard to find a restaurant that is enjoyable, has good food, […]

Included with the price of park admission, Spooktacular includes trick-or-treating at 15 different stations throughout […]
A recent MSN article listed 15 tourist traps that the writer recommended avoiding, claiming they weren’t worth the time and/or money.
I disagree with most of them, believing that they are things you need to do at least once in your life.
Read my reasoning here, compare with MSN writer Jon Douglas here, and then weigh in […]
New pal, and AOL City Guide, Andie Taylor, tipped me off to a study of the 100 angriest cities in the United States.
It was a big surprise for me to learn that Orlando, Florida was found to be the angriest city. Is it too much Disney-mania? Too much fake touristy niceness?
The study, commissioned by Men’s […]
Up until the early 60’s Lincoln Road was known as the “Fifth Avenue of Miami Beach,” and was THE top commercial district in the area. Upscale, luxury hotels were there, along with the stores catering to that wealthy clientele.
