    Florida Rental By Owners – A Better Vacation Experience

    January 8, 2019 /

    This post is sponsored, which means I received compensation.  This time of year I start dreaming up all sorts of ways to get away and travel. Might not be any big shock to all of you that my wanderlust is strong. Like a lot of Canadians, I enjoy planning trips to southern states and Florida is always near the top of that list. Whether you drive or fly it’s typically good value for your family vacation dollar. For a couple of years now I have been plotting a trip to the Keys. It’s never quite worked out, except for the one port stop in Key West last year at this…

    Top Florida Hotspots Chosen by Canadian Travel Bloggers

    January 9, 2018 /

    This week I am in Florida again. Just passing through on our way to a cruise. But I am always thrilled to visit Florida, even when it’s a short stay, or a conference. Florida is a dependable travel destination. And there’s always something new and exciting to discover. This year, I thought I’d ask several of my favourite Canadian travel bloggers what their picks are for Top Florida Hotspots in 2018. As a tourist destination, despite the ups and downs of the Canadian dollar, and the political climate, Florida is still a tourist mecca with much to offer. It’s still very popular with Canadians, who are the biggest international market…

    Clearwater Marine Aquarium – The Little Aquarium and Animal Rescue Centre With Heart

    December 19, 2017 /

    Clearwater Marine Aquarium has been on my bucket list forever. When my kids were small we read a series of true stories about animals overcoming adversity. Knut was one we fell hard for and so was Winter’s Tale – How One Little Dolphin Learned to Swim Again. Our kids are both adopted and they’ve had some unique challenges in life. Knut is a polar bear raised by a foster human. My kids get that. As a baby dolphin, Winter lost her tail after getting caught in a crab trap. Rescued by Clearwater Marine Aquarium, Winter had to learn to swim again. That’s a story my youngest related to most. Winter the…

    St. Petersburg Clearwater Delivers Magic #liveamplified #ad

    November 14, 2017 /

    St. Petersburg Clearwater is one of those places that has something for everyone. Maybe a tourist destination doesn’t want to hear words like dependable or safe. But for me St. Petersburg Clearwater is dependable and safe and a wonderful vacation choice every time. That matters when spending valuable vacation dollars and time. St. Petersburg Clearwater delivers the magic you want, when you need an escape. You know what I mean, right? You head away on a vacation and a piece of you hopes you made the right choice. Prayers go up to the weather gods and goddesses and you dream about the trip for weeks, maybe longer. Then departure day…

    Our Stay at St Augustine Tryp Hotel by Wyndham #ad #StAugustine

    November 10, 2017 /

    On the final stop of our girl’s getaway trip to Florida we headed to St. Augustine. None of the four of us had ever set foot in St. Augustine so we were excited to see the city. We were also tired. There was a lot of driving involved in visiting three cities in six days and we were crossing our fingers that St. Augustine would be comfortable and accommodations would be quiet, restful and clean. The St Augustine Tryp Hotel didn’t disappoint. It was a lovely, clean, newer space. Tryp is a brand owned by Wyndham and it is affordable and family friendly. There are numerous locations of Tryp by…

    Nine Things You Never Knew About Jacksonville Florida

    A week ago I headed off on a Girl’s Only Vacation. After a much too quick stop in St Petersburg, we drove up to Jax FL – Jacksonville, Florida. None of us had ever been there and we were looking forward to seeing it for the first time. From fine dining, shopping, and theatre to the beauty of Florida’s east coast, Jacksonville promised to be an entertaining place for a short getaway.
