Road trip around Florida Downtown Disney Day 9 Day 9 of our road trip does not start as we expected. It is a bit of a mess. We did our usual trip to MacDonald’s for the WiFi but later discover that it resets automatically after every 2 hours. So we stay for another 2 hours. […]
Road trip around Florida Legoland Day 8 Today is a BIG Day. We had contacted Legoland, but somehow our emails to the promotional link on the web were never received. I tried calling 5 times, but it was always someone’s day off, or they were out or had some other reason. Soon the 2 weeks […]
We wake up feeling warm, away from the horrible weather that came in yesterday. Book a hotel room was the best choice. The heavy rains falling on the roof of our vehicle and the sheer cold weather led to this decision. I feel I am a bit tired after the many hours on road and […]
Road trip around Florida: Tampa & Lake Wales – Day 6 I think we are getting used to eating at MacDonald’s for breakfast. Pancakes, hash browns, and coffee have become a trip ritual. We take this time to use the free WiFi before leaving at 10 a.m. As we drive over the bridge toward Tampa we […]
Captiva is a tourist haven. There is a small shopping center at the end of this Island for your shopping needs. You can also find a small restaurant in that same place. Prices are however a bit high over here. It seems to have been designed for the high-class member of the society. You might […]
Everglades Holiday Park AirBoat rides and Alligators As we arrive at the Everglades Holiday Park, I am amazed to see so many people enjoying the Everglades. We park the car and go to the ticketing office, which also happens to sells Dippy Dots – our most favorite ice-cream, so we are delighted to grab one […]
Xtreme Indoor Karting Mini Golf and Arcade Florida One thing Explorason has always wanted to do is to drive indoor motorized karts. But he has only just become tall enough, and he is excited to finally get the chance. We arrive early. Being from out of town we are not sure how long it will […]
Road trip around Florida Everglades – Day 4 We leave behind the beautiful Florida Keys and head back toward Miami. Two people told us to take the fast freeway to our next destination, and avoid the ‘boring’ Everglades. We met a lovely inspiring couple when we visited Macdonalds for a bite. They insisted that we […]
Miccosukee Indian Village and Alligator show – Everglades Florida Australian single MUm and her 8-year-old are about to explore some of the Everglades in Florida today. And we are excited! When we are driving along, we see a few airboat rides available, but being a world-traveling duo, we really want to learn about the traditional […]
We had planned to leave Key West early. However, we couldn’t leave without visiting the southern point of mainland USA marker. All fine, but realizing that there had been a big running marathon on this weekend, the line-up for the teams was about an hour long, so we jumped in front for a 2-second photo […]
Spending the night in our comfortable hired vehicle was quite an awesome experience. I should feel proud of myself for getting a comfortable air bed for me and my son. However, I realized that there are so many free-roaming chickens and roasters in the streets of Florida Keys. They made too much noise that might […]
How our road trip all began The greatest moments during our trips have been made by the interactions we have had with strangers, the random acts of kindness from us, and the beautiful sceneries we have spotted along the way. As we land in Florida, we know that this is the very same experience we […]
