Uncovering Historic Cocoa Village
Cocoa Village is a unique delight. There is something for everyone in this historic spot. Located in the restored downtown area of Cocoa Beach, it is 20 minutes away from Kennedy Space Center and less than an hour’s drive from Orlando and its world-renowned theme attractions.

Antiquing in Central Florida
A modified trip, with judicious selection of stops, can be made in a weekend, but if you’re a true antiques buff, you’ll want to block at least four days to cover all the stops along the way.

Florida Shopping, Nightlife and Luxury
When I want to become part of the entertainment, I often check out Miami’s Studio, the biggest karaoke club in the world with more than 22,000 songs in 20 languages.

Life in the Slow Lane
At the nearby Yearling Restaurant, I got acquainted with some cheese grits, super-sized hush puppies and tender morsels of batter-fried ’gator tail. Clever displays of memorabilia and the house musician, veteran bluesman Willie Green, make this rustic roadhouse an irresistible diversion.

Winter Park, Mount Dora and DeLand
In typical New England fashion, the opulent residences of Winter Park are often secluded and hidden from public view. However, a scenic boat tour offers views of various mansions from the lakes and canals of the gracious and historic city of Winter Park.

At Emerson Point Park, whispers and shadows of a 1,400-year-old Native American village hide amidst 195 acres of mangrove swamps and salt marshes.

Antiques Road Show
Nothing has prepared us for the beauty of the oldest inland town in Florida. Its main thoroughfare, Cholokka Blvd. is a picture-postcard setting of old buildings (many on the National Historic Register) framed by massive old live oaks dripping with Spanish moss.
