Jurassic Park for Real - Feb 8, 2008 - 4:49:32 PM
When we all saw the movie, Jurassic Park, we were glad it was make believe the idea of there being a place where you could reach out and touch gigantic lizards who were as dangerous as they are large.  But if there was a place where you can get that close to wild and ferocious beasts that are as ancient as those frightening dinosaurs, you might just want to jump on a plane and go there as fast as you can.

Visit the Kennedy Space Center, Florida - Feb 7, 2008 - 6:33:10 PM
For anyone who is enthusiastic or curious about space travel, past and present, a trip to the Kennedy Space Center a little west of Orlando will be a day out not to be forgotten. This isn’t going to be a cheap day out, so make sure you check out in advance the current entrance fees plus any additional budget requirements for additional rides, etc just before you make your trip. Another thing to check in advance is the space shuttle launching schedule – what greater day could there be to go the space center then on a day you will see a shuttle actually take off?

Experience Nature in the Everglades National Park, Florida - Feb 7, 2008 - 6:08:57 PM
As the 3^rd largest national park in America, the 1.6 million square miles of the Everglades National Park is teeming with natural beauty. Its swamplands are as familiar a sight as the alligators and airboats used to promote the area. The ecosystem of the park is what draws many of the visitors here. Although there’s plenty of waterways, swimming isn’t an option because of the unfriendly wildlife who live there, but canoeing is one way of enjoying the water from the relative safety of a vessel.

Epcot – Entertaining and Educational - Feb 7, 2008 - 6:07:46 PM
Orlando, Florida’s Epcot is a tourist attraction that will take a full day to explore, but if you want to sample all of the rides and exhibits, you have a multi-park ticket and find a spare half-day on your hands, then you may find you need to come back to Epcot to “finish off” what you don’t manage to see the first time – this is especially true in summer where queues for some exhibits can be quite long.

The Disney MGM Studios – Where Disney Stars are Made - Feb 7, 2008 - 6:04:34 PM
If you’re visiting Orlando, Florida, you probably have a trip to Universal Studios on your list, and therefore may decide to skip MGM Studios, however you may find that – especially if you have younger children – MGM is a better alternative as there are less attractions with height restrictions than Universal. Although there are a few more thrill-seeking rides, most of the MGM Studio park is at a more gentle pace making it a good destination for families, or those who are a little mobility impaired.

Sugar Beach Inn Florida - Nov 18, 2007 - 8:08:10 PM
The very geography of Florida allows it to have sandy beaches on two oceanfronts. Sugar Beach Inn overlooks the serene waters of the Gulf of Mexico. Looking more like a southern plantation you expect to see the Grande Dame on the veranda sipping mint Juleps.
