I had the opportunity to tour the Carnival Imagination on Monday. Why? It is helpful for me, as a travel agent, to see as many ships as possible. After all, I book a whole lot of cruises. Holding over 2,000 passengers, this ship has something for everyone.
The Miami Wine Fair, which happens every year in September or October, is generally an event filled with small wineries and producers looking for distribution in Florida. For the past couple of years I have been given tickets to the trade tasting, which happens early in the day before the […]
There is no shortage of bars in Key West: The ones that have live music; the ones that serve 70 ounces of brain-freeze-inducing drinks with cute names; the wine bars, which I may have mentioned once or twice; the ones with drag shows; and plenty of others. Last weekend, I […]
