Orlando and the surrounding areas have heaps going on! It’s the kind of city in the United States that’s built for entertainment, and you’ll be spoilt for choice on your trip to the Sunshine State. Not only that, but many of the best things to do in Orlando are also suitable for families. This means … Continue Reading
Thanks to the amazing weather in Florida all year round, there are a whole host of things to do when you visit Florida but one of the key attractions is most definitely taking a visit to The Everglades. The Everglades is a UNESCO World Heritage site and is the largest designated sub-tropical wilderness reserve on … Continue Reading
I get the sense that people in Miami make an effort to look good – whether that’s on a more personal level or just to do with their possessions, people appear to take a lot of pride in themselves and things they own and Miami appears to be the perfect place to show it all … Continue Reading
This is easily one of the most beautiful places I’ve been to in a whole… and I’ll show you why! No tips, no advice, just a chance to indulge in (photos of) a tropical paradise. None of us could believe our luck when we drove up to the hotel – I think we definitely picked … Continue Reading
This one is off the beaten track and one that a lot of people who visit Florida (especially from the UK) have never heard of or even considered. It effectively involves renting a tube (approximately $5 for one or $10 if you’re feeling really swanky and want one with mesh underneath to cool your bum) … Continue Reading
This is one we’d been looking forward to long before catching the flight from London to Miami. The day started off with a rather nice jaunt around the Florida Keys swiftly followed by what was the longest drive we had on our road trip – an almost 9 hours drive all the way to Orlando. … Continue Reading
First things first, Florida is totally huge, with so much diversity for just one state. This all means that there are a bunch of incredible things to do and a heap of the best places in Florida that are dotted all across the state. Though if I’m honest, it can be hard to whittle down … Continue Reading
Miami has earned itself a pretty epic reputation as a party city. That being said, there’s so much more to it, with heaps of fun things to do in Miami dotted all across the city. Over the years, we’ve visited Miami quite a few times, and we love it. With Miami’s iconic beaches, Art Deco … Continue Reading
It’s been a while since I’ve visited a place and just felt like I wanted, nay – needed, to stay for much longer. Typically, I plan my time well enough on my travels (at least, well enough for me) that when ‘home time’ comes rolling on, I’m very content and happy to head back home. … Continue Reading
After exploring the beautiful street art in Hollywood and stopping off for a bite to eat, we decided to have a little jaunt around Hollywood, Florida – which, in a lot of ways, looks and feels pretty similar to Hollywood in LA with its palm tree-lined avenues and rather cool and sometimes quirky houses. We stopped … Continue Reading
Perched in the south-east of Florida, Fort Lauderdale is a city that’s amazing to explore and one spot you shouldn’t miss whilst in the state. It’s a city that, in so many ways, feels much less undiscovered than places like Miami, but one place that you definitely shouldn’t ignore. I mean, there are so many … Continue Reading
Prior to a few weeks ago, Fort Lauderdale wasn’t really a place I knew too much of. I think all I knew of it until we actually visited was that it was a place you caught the cruise ships from when you were in Florida. Seeing as I’ve never actually been on a cruise, I … Continue Reading
Waking up to that amazing Floridian sunshine has got to be one of the best ways to start a holiday! What makes it even better is starting the day slowly with an amazing breakfast and boy does The Diplomat do a mean breakfast! Like seriously, it’s the kind that makes you sneak extras out so … Continue Reading
We arrived into Florida on the sunniest of afternoons (like one of those afternoons that was hot – even for Floridians), which instantly put a smile on my face. It had just been grey in London and the weather was having one of those transitional “not-cold-enough-for-coats but also not-warm-enough-to-go-out-without-one” kinda limbo moments (which happens over … Continue Reading
