    Better Than Sex Dessert Restaurant

    I ran across an interesting dessert-and-drinks restaurant in Orlando a couple of weeks ago while roaming the internet. It’s called Better Than Sex Dessert Restaurant! We made reservations for that Friday night. That Friday afternoon, I received a text asking me to confirm… Please confirm your reservation for Better Than Sex Orlando tonight by texting…

    One of The Best Reasons to Avoid I-95 and Take A1A

    Google maps and Waze will both default to I-95 if you’re traveling north from Daytona, or south from Jacksonville. We’re going to tell you one of the best reasons to avoid I-95 and take A1A instead. It’s Hidden Gem #22, the Turtle Shack Cafe in Flagler Beach, Florida… and it’s likely you haven’t heard about…

    Michael’s Restaurant St. Augustine, Florida

    It was time to visit Michael’s Restaurant in our quest for a romantic getaway in St. Augustine, Florida. This highly rated restaurant is a favorite of couples looking for a romantic dinner.

    Collage RestaurantSt. Augustine, Florida

    Back in November we made dinner reservations at Collage Restaurant for our New Year’s trip to St. Augustine. In mid-December, Collage had once again appeared on the Trip Advisor Top 100 List. Any remaining reservations for the holiday season instantly evaporated. The moral of this story is simple: if your romantic getaway includes dinner at…

  • Florida Christmas 2019

    Florida Christmas 2019

    It was a sunny Christmas day of 2019 in Central Florida after several days of cloudy, rainy weather. We took a walk in the morning sunshine around our neighborhood. This video was all shot with the DJI Osmo Pocket in 4k D-Cinelike using a PolarPro ND16 filter. Most shots were at 30 fps, the swinging…

    Winter Park Farmers’ Market – Winter Park, FL

    One of our favorite places to spend a romantic Saturday morning is the Winter Park Farmers’ Market. It’s a positively wonderful way to start the weekend. Last Saturday morning, we packed up our market basket and a couple of hats and headed out. However, we do aim for getting there before 10 o’clock as it…

    Golden View Open Bar at the Ponte Vecchio

    The bartender at the Hotel della Signoria gladly shared ideas on where to find good food in Florence. Dinner at the Golden View Open Bar topped his list. We found the restaurant a short walk from the hotel, just over the Ponte Vecchio. We requested a table where we could enjoy the view of the…

  • Ristorante La Feluca, Venice, Italy

    Ristorante La Feluca, Venice, Italy

    Though it was after eight o’clock by the time we checked into Hotel Novecento, and nearly 20 hours since we’d left home, we were starving and decided to go find food. Ristorante La Feluca was a great choice. The hotelkeeper recommended and pointed out La Feluca on a map. After wandering down several alleys and…

    We arrived in Bellissima Venezia…Finally!

    We arrived in Bellissima Venezia…Finally! After all that waiting in Frankfurt, we were in Venice. No immigration processing in Venice, since we’d done it in Frankfurt (the Polizei who processed me explained that once you’re in the EU, you’re good). Our one checked suitcase was on the carousel as we arrived, and our driver stood…
