A couple of weeks ago, I got an email saying “I know you have written blog posts about packing tips, but I can’t find them. Can you please send the links to me?” I did, and as I was perusing the posts, I realized that some things have changed in […]
It is that time of year again. I see Facebook posts where people are still complaining about winter. (One friend posted yesterday that it was 24 degrees when she woke up, and I have seen countless reports from the Northeast of very chilly people). But here in Florida, it is […]

Smuggler’s Cove Resort, located at mile marker 85, Bayside, in Islamorada has recently undergone a major renovation to both the hotel as well as the restaurant. We were invited to check out the new menu choices, and I am glad we did, as it is my new favorite stopping point on […]
