If you hadn’t noticed from previous blogs, we love to eat local food wherever we travel. On this Southern Road Trip, local food ranged from Championship BBQ in Savannah and other cities through various types of what most of the world calls “Southern Cooking.” But, BBQ was a must-do for us, and we were excited…
A majority of travelers heading to Savannah have heard of Forsyth Park. But, chances are, the only thing they know about the park is its beautiful fountain. Oh, don’t get us wrong, the fountain is impressive. And, nearly everybody there is juggling to get a picture of it or in front of it. The…
After getting settled into our Savannah Airbnb, we took a stroll and wandered to find some dinner. We had nothing on our schedule, and starting just below Forsyth Park, we headed down Bull Street through a series of local Squares. Strolling Through Savannah’s Squares We wandered through Monterey, Madison, and Chippewa Squares, taking in…
One of the things you’ll find about the two of us is that we love mixing things up and have VERY different ideas of what that means. We love booking Airbnb and living like a local. We’ve slept in “luxury tents” in Kenya and are okay with splurging (a little) on a hotel suite in…
With so many travel limitations still in place, we decided that maybe we should stay a little closer to home for our fall vacation. So, we planned out a nine-day Southern Road Trip! Ten years ago, we passed through Savannah on our way to Orlando, looking for a home. And, as no one knew we…

Relaxing on a beach was top of our Must Do’s for our Sanibel- Captiva – Ft Myers Florida road trip. It was all about getting away and chilling out! One of the things we found was that many of the beaches on Sanibel-Captiva tend to have private access from homes or resorts. And, a good…
A huge portion of our South West Florida road trip was to relax and unwind for Chuck’s birthday. One of the reasons we chose Sanibel / Captiva was for the J.N. ‘Ding’ Darling Wildlife Refuge. Ding Dong Darling To be completely honest, we giggled a bit every time we said the name Ding Darling….
We decided that it was time to head off for a long weekend for Chuck’s birthday. Wanting something quiet and restful, he picked Sanibel- Captiva for his destination. So, we’re off on an SW Florida Road Trip! It’s a short two-hour drive from our home in Saint Petersburg, Florida. With a quick stop for lunch…
The chances are that unless you’re from Pinellas County or spent some time in St Pete, you probably don’t know about the little town of Gulfport. No, not that one in Mississippi. The funky, eclectic, progressive, and sometimes weird town tucked in between St Petersburg and the Boca Ciega Bay. If you’ve been following our…
