Downtown Miami and Bayside Florida

Downtown Miami and Bayside Florida Today is a bit of a cooler and overcast day, so we decided it might be a good day to go and explore downtown Miami.  We are staying in the outer neighborhood, so we caught a bus in. About 3/4 of the way through we had to hop off as […]

Road trip around Florida Legoland again Day 10

Road trip around Florida – Legoland again – Day 10 I can’t believe we are here again.  Just 2 days ago my feet pounded the pavement. The website says they open at 9:30 a.m. on Sundays but they actually open at 10:00 a.m. and s we are okay with the opening time. It is so […]

Road trip around Florida Downtown Disney Day 9

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

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 […]

Road trip around Florida Lake Wales Day 7

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

Road trip around Florida Sanibel and Captiva Day 5

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 […]

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

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

They insisted that we […]
