So if you're on a road trip, taking a tour of Florida or taking a guided tour of the local colleges for future enrollment, you gotta make it a point to dine at one or more of these yummeries!

While I am a proud University of Miami Alum, yep, I'm a Hurricane, I have to give props to the Florida town that is home to the University of Florida. Gator Town, that is.

If you're on a tour of Florida, be sure...

If you ever find yourself in Pensacola, Florida, you will be pleasantly surprised.

It was a vegan coffee house and eatery that absolutely delighted me. They had some delicious sandwiches, salads and deserts. I had a phenomenal...

We arrived fairly late in the day so we decided to stay the night and tackle some hikes the following morning. We got so lucky by...

After walking over the Grand Canyon with nothing but glass between us and the canyon below, we headed off to Flagstaff, Arizona. We stayed here for a few nights and I loved the health friendly vibe. A nice mountain town and the closest place to stay if you are heading towards the southern rim, and most frequently visited, portion of the Grand Canyon. Home to Northern Arizona University and somewhat...
