Road trip around Florida Everglades – Day 4 We leave behind the beautiful Florida Keys and head back toward Miami.

They insisted that we […]

As we land in Florida, we know that this is the very same experience we […]

This morning started as a perfect day. As the sun rose, and I knew I wanted to see Haiti. I was hoping to explore more, but Labadee is privately owned, meaning that we could wander anywhere and it was owned by the cruise company. Explorason woke just on time as we docked, and the jet […]
