3 of the Best Places to Visit in Florida

· Leave a Comment

Florida has so much more to it than Disney World. When you visit this subtropical state, remember that Florida has more than 600 miles of beaches and more than 1,000 miles of coastline. Get to the beach, enjoy the palm trees, and experience nature the way only Florida can provide it. When you visit three of the best places to visit in Florida: Miami, Daytona Beach, or Clearwater, you’re getting quintessential Florida vacation time without setting foot in a theme park.

Miami

Miami is known for its beautiful beaches, Cuban culture, and bustling nightlife. You also don’t want to miss the Vizcaya Museum and Gardens, an estate constructed 100 years ago that has since been turned into a museum. Little Havana is always a fun dose of culture and great food, even if you’ve been several times before. For traveling families, the Miami Seaquarium will delight everyone old and young.

Hotels in Miami range from low-key and affordable to swanky and luxurious. Stay by the beach on the cheap by choosing Hotel Urbano at Brickell or Motel Bianco. Get great rates inland when you book at La Quinta Inn Miami Airport North. Ready to treat yourself? The Ritz-Carlton in South … Read more...

Marvel, Pixar and Disney Fall 2017 Movie Lineup

Thor: Ragnarok

Thor is my favorite superhero! I know, I’ve said it before, but he just is. I cannot wait for this movie, and I’ve been counting down the days to November 3rd for months! If you haven’t seen the trailers, you can watch them here. If you have, you know what I mean when I say, “This movie looks amazing!” It is so different from the previous Thor movies. The land is different as is the feel of the movie. The cast is, of course, amazingly talented.

In Marvel Studios’ THOR: RAGNAROK, Thor is imprisoned on the other side of the universe without his mighty hammer and finds himself in a race against time to get back to Asgard to stop Ragnarok—the destruction of his homeworld and the end of Asgardian civilization—at the hands of an all-powerful new threat, the ruthless Hela. But first he must survive a deadly gladiatorial contest that pits him against his former ally and fellow Avenger—the Incredible Hulk!

THOR: RAGNAROK is directed … Read more...
