While Orlando may be the centre for most family holidays in Florida, it doesn't mean you shouldn't consider visiting elsewhere in the state. This article takes a look at a few of the great reasons to consider taking one of the many Florida Keys holidays, as your next Florida holiday experience.

Bike riding in the Everglades National Park

The Everglades National Park is a great destination for anyone interested in the region's natural environment. Entering the park from the northern Shark Valley entrance gives visitors access to 15 miles of looped road with an observation tower set half way round, making it ideal for bike rides. The observation tower gives beautiful views out over the Everglades and the chance to spot some of the park's great wildlife, which includes deer, alligators, water birds and even wild pigs.

The Overseas Highway

Known more commonly as Route 1, the Overseas Highway is the marvel of engineering that connects the hundred or so miles of island chains that makes up the Florida Keys. Running from Key Largo all the way out to Key West, the road gives stunning views out over the surrounding ocean. The road is built on the same bridges and tracks that the Florida East Coast Railway was based on, with many of the bridges being converted railway bridges. The keys also have a number of great walks, for anyone who fancies getting out of the car to stretch their legs.

Visit Key West

This island town is best known for being the southernmost town in the United States. Key West has a very traditional American feel to it, with the town's wood panelled, tin roofed conch houses. Highlights in the area include the home of Ernest Hemingway, now converted into a museum, and the fascinating Shipwreck Historeum Museum, which delves into the town's wrecking past. Taking a stroll around the town is a great way to enjoy an afternoon.

BahiaHonda State Park

The final destination on our list is an easy stop if you've already travelled all the way out to Key West, the beautiful Bahia Honda State Park. The park is set on a small island between two of the key's deepest natural channels. The location means the island is a little different to others in the Key, with its sandy beaches and deep surrounding waters making it ideal for swimming and snorkelling. The Park is also well know for the Loggerhead Sea Turtles that visit it throughout the year.

This article was written by Thom Sanders on behalf of Vacations to America. They offer fantastic Florida Keys holidays, as well as other great California holidays.

History of Key Biscayne, Florida

2013-07-15T10:00:00.003-07:00

I go to Key Biscayne, Florida at least 4 times a month. I usually go to Hobie Beach right next to Rickenbacker Causeway. I take my two boys who also love the beach. My youngest son loves fishing on the old Rickenbacker bridge and my older son enjoys swimming in the calm, crystal aqua water.

I love Hobie Beach also because it is one of the only beaches in Dade County that allows dogs (it might be the only one).

Many times we go biking at Bills Baggs State Park which is a historic and gorgeous park with amazing beaches. And I bring my camera and take great pictures of the my kids, the sunset and people enjoying the beach.

Below is a brief history of Key Biscayne:

Key Biscayne is approximately 5 miles long, two mile wide barrier island between the Atlantic Ocean and Biscayne Bay. Bordered by Miami-Dade County Crandon Park to the north, Bill Baggs Cape Florida State Park to the south, the atlantic ocean to the east and Biscayne Bay to the west.

FACTS ABOUT THE HISTORY OF KEY BISCAYNE FLORIDA

1. Several hundred years ago, Key Biscayne was an Eden-like island , a pre-Columbian heaven which was the center of civilization for the Tequestas, a small tribe of sea-savvy Indians who fished and whaled the crystal waters of the Florida Keys.

2. Tequesta raised their villages on palm pilings, similar to the summer homes that currently line Florida's coasts They had to this because Key Biscayne is only about five feet above sea level.

3. The Tequesta hunted sea turtles for their meat and harvested their eggs for valuable protein, this was before the sea turtles were endangered.

4. Ponce de Leon "discovered" the island and presented it to the King of Spain as Santa Maria in 1513.

5. 50 years later when the ruthless Pedro Menendez de Avila took refuge from a hurricane on Key Biscayne. Avila had been on an expedition ordered by the King of Spain in which he was to found St. Augustine and massacre any French protestant "heretics" nearby. Unfortunately, Avila established relations with the Tequesta and decided they should be good Catholics.

6. The Spanish built a mission managed by Jesuit priests and soldiers. to ensure the heathen Tequesta became proper Christians. This was a recipe for disaster for the Tequesta.

7. Countless Spanish plate ships were destroyed on the treacherous shoals and reefs off Key Biscayne during the 16th, 17th and 18th centuries. To this date,the treasure from these wrecks remain undiscovered.

8. The island was named Vicaya (Biscayne) because a sailor for Iberian region was shipwrecked on the Key.

9. The British attempted to bring in colonists and plantations to the vast wilderness, after Florida was transferred to British control in the mid 1700s. However, this endeavor was short lived after the Revolution started and the British retreated to their homeland.

10. Florida became a possession of Spain once and was called La Florida. Then Spanish crown started giving land grants in South Florida, especially in Key Biscayne. Their goal was to bring Florida into a profitable standing.

UNITED STATES ACQUIRE FLORIDA FROM SPAIN

The Cape Florida Lighthouse was built in 1825. shortly after the US had acquired Florida from Spain, The Cape Florida Lighthouse is legendary landmark which is intact to this day.

Farmers from the north began arriving and setting up plantations as Key Biscayne grew and prospered. The majority of the island's acreage was used for exotic fruit farms.

Naturalist came to Key Biscayne in droves because of Key Biscayne's isolated subtropical habitat and lush flora and fauna. The area's gorgeous and scenic landscaped became renowned around the world which of course attracted countless adventurers and tourists.

The Matheson family established a huge coconut plantation on the Key for many years, up until just before World War Two.

Soon Key Biscayne became a magnet for wealthy. Key Biscayne, like many Florida areas became a favorite spot for the "Winter Elite" - a status it still enjoys to this day.

After the Rickenbacker Causeway from Miami to Biscayne was completed in 1947 major residential development thrived. Previously, the city experienced growth from tourism and land speculators.

After World War Two, Key Biscayne was still largely undeveloped.

In 1950's the Mackle Brothers began developing their Villages of Key Biscayne and typical houses sold for less than $10,000. These homes were concrete block houses of about 1200 square feet with three bedrooms, one bathroom and a small screened-in porch.

These original homes were primarily sold to retirees and young families headed by World War II veterans who purchased them with GI Bill financing with a $ 500 down payment.

These homes were referred to locally as "Mackles", and are worth as much as one million dollars today. Wealthy visitors buy them - many from South America - tear them down to build Mansions with room for large families and live-in maids.

In 1969, Key Biscayne Florida saw dramatic presidential development as well when Richard Nixon purchased his winter retreat in the referred to as the "Florida White House". He wanted to be close to his old buddy, Bebe.

Charles "Bebe" Rebozo, became famous as a friend of Richard Nixon. He founded the Key Biscayne Bank and Trust in 1964. Bebe was of Cuban descent.

Key Biscayne FL suffered some damage when Hurricane Andrew hit in 1992, but luckily Bill Baggs State Park took the brunt of the storm's fury. The hurricane turned out to be a blessing as all the invasive species, such as Australian pines, in the park were wiped out by the heavy winds and rain.

As a result of storm, the Park Service restored the area with all native plants, and today Bill Baggs Park resembles what old Florida's wilderness might have looked like when the Tequesta thrived in the island.

Recently, as s result of the economic meltdown, development has slowed which may keep Key Biscayne’s gorgeous beaches from being ruined by tons of concrete shopping centers and condos.

The Oceans's Astounding Medicinal and Emotional Healing Power

2013-07-15T09:05:00.001-07:00

I love the beach (if you have seen my Flickr photos about 80% of them are at different beaches in South Florida. Besides admiring the amazing beauty of South Florida beaches, going to the beach is therapeutic for me. It melts my stress and worries. Gazing at the sun's shimmering reflection on the crystal aqua water or seeing a scarlet sunset gives me hope and lifts my spirits when I am depressed. Hearing the sound of the surf also relaxes me immensely.

Why does this happen?

The ocean is the greatest source of oxygen, food and medicinal elements and is home to 80% of all living organisms. The ocean plays a critical role in all of our lives especially we can be near the ocean.

The ocean offers many stress reduction benefits as the waves put us in a meditative state.

By going to beach:

· We feel happier and increase our peace of mind.

· We significantly boost our concentration, spontaneity and creativity.

· Also many people also report leaving the beach with a renewed sense of purpose for their lives.

When you are next to the ocean it is extremely difficult not to meditate and receive all of the astounding and wonderful benefits. And with our hectic lifestyle many of us seldom meditate on a regular basis

Other Significant and Amazing Benefits of the Ocean

1. Scientific research has revealed that minerals in the sea air decrease stress and increase a sense of well being.

2. Salt in water preserves the melatonin, tryptamine and serotonin levels in your brain. This helps fight off depression and improve your sense of well being.

3. The sounds of waves crashing on the beach alter wave patterns in the brain resulting in a calmer state.

4. Swimming in ocean water is also great for our mental health. Why? The water temperature plays a significant role in your emotional health. Cool ocean water in the spring and fall months offer a soothing treatment for your nerves and warmer waters in the summer months relax your muscles

5. Research indicates that ocean’s water contains minerals that help with depression, arthritis, and psoriasis and depression.

6. Spending time in the beach dramatically affects and offer positive results for skin diseases such as rosacea, eczema and rashes from plant allergies or heat.

7. Ocean water contains iodine and that increases your thyroid function and improves the immune system.

8. When you are in sea water the amount of oxygen carried throughout your bloodstream is improved and more nutrients are carried through your bloodstream to fight off free radicals.
Ocean water also improves circulation of blood to organs.

One last fact about the amazing "feel good effect" of beach and why the ocean makes feel great and full of hope.

As the waves break on the beach shoreline, air particles break apart releasing ions into the atmosphere. And many scientists assert that sea air contains an abundance of negatively charged ions. In today’s society we have too many positive ions in our life. You may know positive ions by another name – free radicals. You get tons of free radicals from electricity, computers, TV and electronic gadgets in our lives. It's is easy to see why we have a shortage of negative ions. Increasing our exposure to negative ions has many health benefits including enhancing the immune system, increasing alertness and improving concentration.

KEY BISCAYNE FLORIDA a Pristine Island Paradise

I love Hobie Beach also because it is the only beach in Dade County (that I know of) that allows dogs.

We also visit Bill Baggs State Park frequently. Many times we go biking at Bills Baggs State Park which is historic and gorgeous park. I also love taking pictures of my boys, sunsets and people. I have also taken pictures of Stiltsville - Stiltsville is a group of wood stilt houses located one mile south of Cape Florida on sand banks of the Safety Valve on the edge of Biscayne Bay in Miami Dade County in Florida. The structures stand on wood or reinforced concrete pilings, generally ten feet above the shallow water which varies from one to three feet deep at low tide.

Fishing in the Florida Keys

2012-10-03T17:47:00.000-07:00

Florida Keys:

For those who've ever dreamt of drinking 'the life to the least' by making an adventurous trip to one of the most diversified place on earth, by laying the soul on to the ever warm lap of nature to get back the feeling lost in the mechanized life or by going wild with some blood-curdling fishing experiences in an anglers dream world, Florida keys are out there to let your dream touch down the reality. In the southernmost part of the USA, Florida Keys stand as an island archipelago on the Strait of Florida where the Atlantic with its freezing current merges with the warm waves of the Gulf of Mexico. There are around 1700 islands forming the keys that begin about 15 miles south of Miami and extend up to the Key West while finding their tails in the uninhabited islands near Dry Tortugas. The keys are subdivided as Upper Keys, Middle Keys, Lower Keys and the Outlying Islands. The first major key is the Key Largo followed by the Islamorada, the sport fishing capital of the world. The next major key is the Marathon, the heart of the keys, set apart by the seven-mile bridge shown in one of the James Bond sagas, the True Lies. But above all lies the Key West, the ultimate destination for the nature lovers and adventure seekers as well. It is where writers find their source of inspiration and anglers either past-timer or expert, find their way through hunting over two hundred species of fish sprawling in the crystal blue water of the Key West.

Where nature brings the souls together.

Legend has it that Earnest Hemingway wrote his A Farewell to Arms while seeking a peaceful time on the ever enchanting landscape of the keys where the ocean appears in different colors. This is where he wrote To Have and Have Not, his only novel with an USA setting. Not only that, popular TV serials entitling Key West or Drive found their plot in the setting in the Key West, the most populated and sought after city under Monroe County. All these are the clear indication of an enviable spot for each and everybody planning to be gone in the wilderness or lost in the tranquility. In fact the tropical climate that never let the area go beyond the freezing point in the known history; the highly rich bio-diversity in the forested areas of Dry Tortugas; presence of coral reefs; and most importantly the crystal clear water abound in fishes enough as to turn it a fishing paradise for the anglers, make the Florida keys an alluring tourist attraction.

Fishing in the Keys: There is hardly any fishing loving junk would be found in the entire USA, who are unheard of the fishing paradise, the Florida Keys. Many a lot legendary anglers were born in the keys and famous present-day anglers like Flip Pallet, Lefty Kreh, and even Jimmy Buffett have given birth to many mouth-watering adventures on the alluring water of the Keys. If you want to join the legend or even have the real taste of fishing expedition, there are several ways you can opt for:

Deep Sea Fishing:

Giants are there to cast challenges like running the risk of your life.

Probably this is the most exciting fishing experience that makes always you feel like chasing down the legendary giants like marlin, sailfish, wahoo or even little sharks in the enthralling beauty of the scene putting Gulf of Mexico on one side and laying the strait of Florida on the other. Boarding on big ships, hunting big fishes, going for big tackles: all these big things may happen on a single trip for an offshore fishing which will definitely turn the adventure a worth remembering event in your life with all its colors and flavors. You necessarily need not be an expert angler. Just bring your boat down the sea with a guide or charter a boat available all the year round or be a part of a big ship waiting to take you to the Gulf Stream. There are always a number of experienced captains to guide you through in your fishing spree, taking you to some great fishing spots like Clearwater, St. Petersburg, Tampa, Sarasota or the Orlando Florida area. The incredibly excellent climate along the gulf is best suited for salt water fishing charters that can lead you to chasing after species such as marlin, sailfish, waho, king mackerel, cobia, tuna, amberjack, spanish mackerel, dolphin ( locally known as mahi mahi), shark, barracuda and many others you have ever imagined of. Grouper and snapper are also worth mentioning as they are available all the year round specially near Tampa Bay, the grouper fishing capital of the world.

Catching sailfish in an offshore trip can give you the ultimate thrill.

To make your offshore fishing adventure a success, selecting a good charter with an expert captain is always important as they are to take the responsibility of taking you to a perfect fishing spot, providing you with required tackles along with their expertise and above all for ensuring a happy ride giving you all the thrills of running after the giants. Captain Frank, Bill Wallace, Ben Morehouse, Mike LeDrew, Rob Delph and many other experts are there to lead you to the gulf in the charters like Offshore Hustler, Coolwater, Outcast, Coolcast, Dream Catchers etc.

Flats Fishing:

Your intense motivation might get you to an exhilarating end.

The enigmatic backcountry water surrounding the uninhabited mangrove islands offers the most challenging and addictive angling in the world. Famous anglers like Zane Grey applied their expertise in catching landing sailfish, giant tarpon and specially bone fish moving across the miles of shallow sands and grass flats encircling the keys. It is all about your dedication and patience that can make you a success in flats fishing. Once you spot a fish under the pristine water, the next thing you get to do is to ensure an accurate cast before it sees you. You timing as well as the position of your boat determines how you would come up with your sight casting challenges. This kind of visual fishing is actually unexplainable as far as putting things into perspective is concerned; but an efficient key west guide can lead you to an unforgettable experience of facing a one on one situation with the spooky species already known about their vulnerability comparing to deep sea.

Going on with a flat fishing in an environment of unparalleled beauty all you need is to have shallow boat, an expert guide to spot the fish and position the boat in your convenience and some light tackles like spinning rod or fly. Backcountry water, coral reef or some ship wrecked areas might be great for a thrilling chase after species such as tarpon, permit, bonefish, redfish, snook, sea trout, barracuda, jacks, sharks, and cobia.

Fishing on the line where the black meets the blue. Along with these offshore or inshore fishing, there are other ways out to replenish your angling experiences with reef fishing, harbor fishing and particularly the bridge fishing, feeling a romantic and inviting look of nature instilling into your heart. Excellent fishing can be added to smoothening time from the bridges like Ling key, Tom's Harbor, Seven Mile, Spanish Harbor, Shark Channel and some other bridges open for fishing.

Fishing Calendars: For the best catching experiences in fishing in Key West or in Florida keys a fish calendar might be a great help as many of the species available in the area are migratory and visit the place during a particular time of the year. Although there are species caught all through the year; considering the best statistics of the species caught all the year, some of the most sought after fishes are listed below along with the best time to go for fishing.

Wahoo: Best fall, winter & spring but caught all year.

Black Grouper & Gag Grouper: Best in winter and spring.

Tarpon: Best from Late February to September but can be caught all the year.

Permit: Best during spring & summer but caught in all the year.

Hogfish and Lobster: Best from August to March.

Amberjack: Best in spring.

Blue Marlin: Best months are October & November and again in May & June, but caught all the year.

Yellowtail snapper: best in May to September.

Mangrove snapper: best from April to July Bone fish: April to October.

Fishing Tournaments:

Real fun lies in catching & releasing in a fishing sport.

Fishing tournaments organized all through the year make the Key West more lucrative to the highly skilled anglers or the fishing lovers altogether. People from all walks of life can participate in the tournaments in different categories. Men, women or juniors compete with their peers to catch more than 30 species of fish.

Making an enviable trip to deep sea fishing, going for some flat fishing or participating in a fishing sport with your friends can really fill your heart with some unforgettable memories on the crystal blue water of the Straits of Florida.

Josh and Dylan Go Biking at Amelia Earhart Park, Hialeah, Florida

2012-10-03T01:39:00.000-07:00

As an ex Hialeah girl, I have visited Amelia Earhart Park on countless ocassions. I have attended birthday parties, I used to walk and run (mostly walk the endless jogging trails). And after my sons were born, I use to take them to the kiddie park to play. I also visited the park with my two Lhasa Apsos so they could run and frolick in the grass (before Bark Park was built in Amelia Earhart).

However, in September 2012, I visited Amelia Earhart Park on two separate ocassion to go biking in their awesome mountain bike trails. We went biking on September 8, 2012 and September 29, 2012. The benefits of biking in Amelia Earhart are also endless - here are few:

1. It's free - only a $6 charge per car.

2. Tires out my two energizer bunny boys.

3. Great exercise for mom.

4. It's awesome for taking pictures. (You know I always have my trusted and beloved camera when I visit a South Florida Attraction or any attraction with my boys. And then I blog about it).

5. Park has so many other activities that kids love - check out the brief summary below about the numerous activities.

You can't beat it. Everytime I take my boys to the movies or Chuckee Cheese, I end up spending over $60 and I have been cutting back on spending - which is so easy to do. But, again for me, as a single parent, the best part of biking in Amelia Earhart is it tires the boys out, it's great fun and an awesome alternative to hypnotic video games my kids are addicted to.

Check out my slide show about the Amelia Earhart Park - I am working on my YouTube video but between working full-time, blogging part time and being a mon and dad for my boys, you're going to have to wait!! I hope you like the pictures!!

IMPORTANT!!!!

ALSO LEAVE COMMENTS ABOUT ARTICLES AND PICS LIKE WHICH ONES YOU LIKE MORE ETC.. DON'T LEAVE ANY NASTY OR HATEFUL COMMENTS PLEASE!

Amelia Earhart Park - Brief History

The story of Amelia Earhart is full of acclaim, astonishment, and mystery. She is known globally for her amazing aviation achievements but is mostly remembered and analyzed because of her mysterious disappearance in her last ill fated mission she was unable complete. Earhart was the first woman to fly solo across the Atlantic Ocean. In her last mission, she was to become the first female to circumnavigate the world, Regrettably for her and for her loyal followers, she never made it and her disappearance has been a intriguing and bizarre mystery ever since.

During her final attempt, she flew into Miami, Florida. She eventually took off from Hialeah, a fact many are unaware of. Earhart departed from Hialeah on June 1, 1937 and arrived in Lae, New Guinea. She had already traveled 22,000 miles and had 7,000 to complete the mission, which would be over the Pacific. The last target destination was Howland Island, however there was no documentation or evidence she ever arrived safely. To this date, there are still no conclusive facts as to what actually happened but there are countless theories.

In addition to being known as pilot with amazing aviation achievements, she was also a best-selling author describing her flying experience. Among many accolades, a park in East Hialeah is named after her to exemplify her many achievements. The Amelia Earhart park is now a family environment where family celebrations take place every weekend. It is now a staple to the community but it is crucial to remember the person it is named after.

Magic City Getaway - The Top Destinations Near Hotels in Miami

2012-09-28T10:21:00.001-07:00

By Eric Sidone

Surrounded by miles of sandy beaches, iconic architecture and legendary hotspots, Miami is one of the few cities that, after more than 100 years on "the scene," has managed to sustain its cache.

So what makes this city so special? Maybe it's the perennially chic hotels in Miami or the warm, sultry breezes that waft in from the Atlantic. Perhaps it's the laid-back vibe the city gets from its Latin American and Caribbean neighbors - or the effortless style of its residents. Whatever "it" is, you'll definitely want to hit some of the city's landmarks and hangouts to find it. So when you're looking for hotels in Miami, book your stay at a place that offers easy access to these one-of-a-kind destinations:

• Vizcaya Museum. In the city's Coconut Grove area, this Italian Renaissance-style villa - and its 10 acres of formal gardens - was Miami's first truly lavish residence. Today, it's a museum filled with unique art, stunning décor and ornate gardens.

Miami Beach vacation rentals are one of the best options available to people who are looking to experience what the dynamic city has to offer without having to spend too much on fancy hotels which offer the same boring, generic features that tourists have already seen elsewhere. If you are planning to spend time in the city of Miami Beach, you should definitely make vacation rentals your prime accommodation preference.

A World-Class City

The city of Miami Beach has easily become one of the most visited places within the United States today.

Amenities and Services

When it comes to the subject of accommodation, hotels are no longer the number one option for people nowadays. The fact that people can expect to get first-class services and amazing amenities from today's selection [http://miamirentalproperty.org/content/Miami-Beach-Rental-Property] Miami Beach vacation rentals makes the idea of staying at a hotel simply ridiculous, especially since vacation rentals prove to be significantly cheaper considering the great value that people can get in return.

You can look forward to amenities which include private swimming pools, health spas, exclusive beach access, and other outdoor facilities. Indoor facilities include overlooking terraces, complete kitchens, home theaters, entertainment systems, and high-speed Wi-Fi Internet access.

Of course, privacy and security are among the top priorities when it comes to service, especially since most people spend most of their time exploring the city.

Convenient Locations

One of the great things about Miami Beach vacation rentals is that you can find them in just about any part of the city - the posh parts of the South of Fifth neighborhood, the oceanfront options along the famous Collins Avenue, near the La Gorce golf courses, or even in the less crowded North Beach area. All you need to do is pick a place and you are sure to find options right wherever it is that you want to be within the city.

If you want to find out more information about available vacation rentals within the city of Miami Beach, you should contact a professional real estate agent for details.

Budget Travel and Having Fun While Doing It

2012-09-27T23:36:00.000-07:00

By: Michael Johnson

Traveling can be expensive. Sometimes there is just no other choice but to travel and it may not be something that you want to spend a lot of money on. There are some ways that you can save money while traveling and still have a comfortable and enjoyable trip.

How to save money by flying

If you have to travel remember that holidays are the best days to fly. Thanksgiving is a great day because hardly anyone will be flying that day. The day before and the day after a holiday are the worst days to travel. These are the busiest days of the year to be on a plane. Pack light when you are traveling. Extra baggage could cost you time and money and you can save by packing a little less and you will save a lot more.

Take a train instead of flying

Trains are a great way to travel because they are usually less expensive than a plane. They are also less crowded. When you decide to take a train you will save money that can be used for other things on your vacation.

Traveling with your children can sometimes be a little stressful and maybe even a downright nightmare. However, this does not have to be the case. There are ways for you to keep your children occupied while you are on the road or in the air. You can keep them happy and at the same time keep your sanity.

Bring along some snacks

The one thing you can always depend on is your child getting hungry. They are always asking for a snack or something to nibble on at the worst possible times. These times are when you are busy or when you have nothing for them to snack on. One good way to prepare for this situation is to bring along a variety of their favorite things. Another good idea is to have some drink boxes on hand for them also. You know if they are hungry then the next thing they are going to say is they are thirsty. Think ahead and get a list of the things they like and pack them along with you.

When you are traveling either alone or with your family, bring your own snacks. This will save you time and money when you get hungry. Sometimes with the hustle of traveling we forget to get ourselves something to eat. This may cause an all of sudden sick feeling for you. By having some snacks on hand you will save yourself the trouble of feeling sick. This will also save you money. Snacks on coach flights and sections are not free and can be expensive in some cases.

Driving in a car

When you are driving to your destination, there are some things that you can do to save yourself money. Remember to not drive too fast. Driving fast can cause your car to use more fuel. It may also get you a speeding ticket, which will cost you a lot of extra money in the end. It is better to stay at a steady and safe speed while you are driving. Also bring your own food. Make up some sandwiches and bring along some sodas and water. This will save you money and time by not having to stop for food.

Another good piece of advice when traveling by car is to take turns driving with someone. Make sure that you have another safe driver for times when you need a break. You can sleep while someone else drives for a while and then switch back and forth when a rest is needed. This will save you the expense of paying for a room and get you to your destination sooner.

If you are traveling with children on a plane, remember to arrive at the airport early. Make sure that you allow yourself plenty of time to get you and your children checked in and not to mention leave yourself some time for bathroom breaks. You know how kids can sometimes slow you down and you want to make sure that you have enough time for the unexpected things that can come up at any given time.

Traveling with your children can be memorable experience in your life and with a little planning and thought; you can make that memory a great one.

Don't Worry, Be Happy, Rent a Villa

2012-08-12T07:16:00.001-07:00

By: Jose Negron

A family vacation to "The Happiest Place on Earth" is a rewarding experience you will never forget. With so much to see and do, it has become increasingly important to a lot of visitors that they plan accordingly and reserve comfortable and spacious accommodations. If you are traveling with children, the open spaces in a vacation home or villa will translate into added silence and downtime after a long day at the parks.

We've all been there before. As you're trying to unwind in a cramped hotel room, the kids become restless of their boredom and begin to jump from double-bed to double-bed in order to work off their left-over energy. If you put enough people in a cramped space, stress levels can rise rather quickly. A single television in a small hotel room is an argument waiting to happen. Vacation homes and pool villas, by comparison, usually come furnished with televisions in each room. Today, it has become easier and cheaper for the average tourist to avoid situations like these.

Vacation homes and pool villas in the Orlando area average in the $700-$900/weekly price range. Most of these homes can sleep 6+ guests as opposed to the standard 4 in a hotel room. If you were to reserve a hotel room (or two) for 6-8 guests you may need to prepare to pay upwards of $1,500 for a week's stay. When planning a family stay in Orlando for at least a week, there really is no other way to go.

A hotel complex may have one entertaining amenity if you are lucky: a community pool. If you and your family value privacy, most vacation homes come with a personal swimming pool in the property's backyard. This way, parents can easily supervise their children from the comfort of home. Spark up the Bar-B-Q on the back porch and have dinner ready as the kids exit the pool for the day! Many villa communities also include tennis, volleyball, and basketball courts within walking distance.

A vacation home in the Disney World Resort vicinity truly offers the best of both worlds. The convenience of staying near Disney and the opportunity to explore everything else Orlando has to offer. You may choose to venture out a few miles and do a little shopping at the Premier Outlets just off of Interstate 4, eat out at one of the many find dining destinations in the Orlando metro area, or delve into Orlando's buzzing downtown district. Either way you decide to plan your vacation, be sure to make renting a villa or vacation home a habit wherever you travel.

The Tropical Magic of the Florida Keys

2012-07-19T22:00:00.000-07:00

by: Michiel Van Kets

Imagine a group of delightful islands in the warm sun. Glorious stretches of beach invite you for a relaxed and sunny encounter while hibiscus and frangipani blossom full of color. Delightful
historical towns offer alfresco dining on freshly caught lobster and crab.

For a moment, you think you're in some tropical paradise in the Caribbean. But then you remember you're in the United States, in Florida. In fact, you’re in the Florida Keys, a chain of islands unfurling off the southeastern tip of Florida. It's one of the state's most seductive tourist destination and with Florida Keys vacation rentals, a very affordable one.

Despite their sequestered feel, the Florida Keys are easy to reach as many of the islands are linked by bridges. And the first island in the chain is located just 15 miles south of Miami.

The other 1700 or so islands in the archipelago extend for 106 miles south-southwest in an arc to the uninhabited Dry Tortugas. The archipelago is divided into three areas - Upper Keys, Middle Keys and Lower Keys. Here’s a look at some of the major attractions in the Keys.

The major island in whole chain is Key West, home to over 30% of the entire population of the Keys. Other than offering some of the finest fishing and diving in the world, the Keys also offer parks and wildlife reserves, shopping and just plain old relaxation.

It's a great spot to organise fishing and diving trips and also features an atmospheric old town. Its main thoroughfare of Duval Street is steeped in history and is home to taverns once frequented by Ernest Hemingway who had a home on the island and loved fishing in the Gulf. Families can enjoy the island, too. There's the celebrated Conch Train and a branch of Ripley's Believe it or Not. Each day at sunset, a variety of entertainers arrive to perform for locals and visitors. Take advantage of Key West vacation rentals for some great accommodation deals.

Delightful as the place is, it would be foolish to spend all of your Keys vacation there. Each area of the Keys has its own unique charms and a few days in each would pay rich rewards. The lovely islands of Islamorada, Long Key, Marathon, Big Pine Key are just a few of the other treasures waiting in store.

Tavernier is a quiet island to the immediate south of Key Largo. It's a great base to set off on boating expeditions in Florida Bay or out to the Atlantic. It's also a major attraction for ornithologists being the home of the Florida Keys Wild Bird Rehabilitation Center. Tavernier vacation rentals include a fine range of accommodation units for every need and budget.

Islamorada, meaning purple isle, is a lively island with everything from sports bars to comedy clubs. It's also known as the sport fishing capital of the world. It's the place to go if you want to head out on the Gulf in search of tuna or other fish. It also offers wonderful reef and wreck diving with a host of dive shops offering lessons and equipment rental.

Long Key is home to Long Key State Park and is perfect for those who want to get away from it all. It's a popular sport for campers and nature lovers.

In the heart of the Keys lies Marathon, another island famed for sport fishing, diving and swimming with dolphins. There's also a museum and a beach. Marathon is one of two Florida Keys with an airport.

Big Pine Key in the Lower Florida Keys is a relaxed, unspoilt island famous for its tiny Key Deer. These are very rare white tail deer which number around 300. It’s the perfect spot for nature lovers.

Finding the right accommodation will go a long way towards enhancing the pleasure of your trip to this enchanting region of the United States. Fortunately, wherever you are in the area you can take advantage of Florida Keys vacation rentals for your accommodation needs. This way you'll be able to select the perfect residence for your needs at the keenest prices. Staying in a villa on the beach is far more pleasant than choosing a plain old hotel room which could be anywhere.

In the United States, when it comes to warm weather destinations, Florida is one of the first states to come to mind… With its tropical waters, magical them parks, and the inviting sun, for some people there’s no better place! And what better part to visit than the extreme southern tip down in the Florida Keys! This is about as close as you can get in the mainland U.S. and still think that you’ve passed over into some mysterious and exotic destination… In fact, you may think you took a wrong turn somewhere and ended up in Mexico, because in these parts they tend to speak Spanish unfortunately… Now I don’t mind the people who are here legally, but it’s the illegal aliens that pour across the border that are the problem... You can actually go into a fast food restaurant down there and the menu will be in Spanish and when you go to order, the person at the cash register will not be able to speak any English… So in that respect, the Florida Keys are a pretty exotic place!

Having said that, the Florida Keys are still one of my favorite destinations to go visit, and it has a tropical flair like no other in the mainland! There is only one road in and one road out, but once you “cross over” you will be able to see the beautiful turquoise waters of the Florida Bay and the beginning of the Caribbean on the southern side of the bridges. The Keys start in Key Largo and end up at the extreme southern end at Key West, and the trip takes about 4 hours or so to drive. Take your time however, because there is a lot to see and savor on the way! After all, this is a vacation, and you can convert over to “island time” for a while…

There are many great restaurants and raw bars along the way, where you can pop in and order a nice meal or buffet, or maybe a quick appetizer to keep you going. The Florida Keys are divided up into 3 different sections, the Upper Keys (which includes the Key Largo area), the Middle Keys (the Islamorada area), and the Lower Keys (which includes Key West and some of the smaller islands). All sections have their special charm and beauty, and Key Largo is great for snorkeling or scuba diving with its many charter boat operators located here. The Middle Keys are widely known for its charter fishing operations, and Islamorada is known as the “Fishing Capital of the World”! The Lower Keys are known for the many islands and wildlife areas, and is more of a slower pace and relaxing time… That is until you reach the very end and arrive at Key West!

Key West still runs at a different pace from the rest of the country, but it is definitely more active than the rest of the Keys, with the many shops and attractions on famous Duval Street, the Sloppy Joe’s bar, Hog’s Breath Saloon, and the must see “Sunset Celebration” that runs nightly in Mallory Square at the end of Duval. It really is quite a sight, and a fun one at that! This area is just like any tourist town, with a lot of visitors and vendors trying to earn their business. You’ll find time share employees promising the world to passers-by, and bikini shop saleswomen trying to get you to come into the store to browse around.

There is a wide variety of delicious food available in this town, and I urge you to try as many different kinds of food as you can. Experiment a little, try something that you wouldn’t find back home; you may find out you like it! There are extremely nice seafood restaurants, and building on the corner cafés for you to try.

Also be sure to get out on the water doing something cool and refreshing, whether it’s scuba diving, snorkeling, party catamaran-ing, parasailing, jet skiing, or whatever! Being out on the water just makes the daily stress dissolve from your body, and you’ll soon be a new person! That is probably why you are down there in the first place!

One trip that I really believe you need to take is the fast ferry boat to the Dry Tortugas! These islands are really the last bastion of the U.S. southward, and are at the very tip of the Keys. Key West is the last inhabited town, but farther down is the legendary Fort Jefferson with its huge 19th century fortifications all alone out there sitting on a lonely Key waiting to protect the entrance way into the Gulf of Mexico… This fort is so massive that you wonder how far down it sand the island when it was built! They had to import everything by ship and then proceeded to build it brick by brick… It was never actually completed due to the invention of more powerful artillery and cannon that could smash the material that the fort was being built of, so it was just left as it. Then later on, it became part of the National Park system, and today it’s a National Park of the U.S. It does have a ranger station and gift shop on the island, and a few very basic campsites available for people who would like to camp out with their tents. If you are interested in doing this however, be aware that you will have to bring all you own food and water as this is not provided there. One great thing about this is that probably the best snorkeling in the mainland U.S. is right here at the Dry Tortugas! The clarity of the water, the number of tropical fish and their size, all lead to some really great diving…

There are plenty of things to do in Key West, and I hope this gives you some ideas as to the options you have available once you arrive. So plan that vacation soon to the Florida Keys, and enjoy yourself! If you are driving down, remember, that the trip is half the fun!

Historic Mack's Fishing Camp's Airboat Tours in The Florida Everglades

2012-07-14T02:01:00.000-07:00

Last year I took the kids to Mack's Fish Camp in the Everglades and took some amazing pics, I posted the article below in my blogger http://www.2brothersebizblog.blogspot.com/ and it was extremely popular. I hope you enjoy it.
.

On Wednesday I went with my boys to Mack's Fishing Camp they had a blast fishing in the Everglades and riding on an airboat. Mack's Fishing Camp is located off of Krome Avenuein Miami, Florida where the Broward and Dade county borders.

My eight year old has become an enthusiastic fisherman thanks to Jeremy Wade's River Monsters program and is always asking me for fishing tips. Unfortunately, as a single mom who does not fish often, I am not much help. My other son enjoys the airboat ride more than the actual fishing.

In contrast to three other airboat tours my boys have been on, Mack's airboat tour was not a commercialized tourist trap. On the other tours we were herded onto an airboat with 10-15 people, rushed through a quickie tour then swiftly led to the gift shop. At the gift shop you purchase worthless, overpriced Everglades souvenirs especially if you’re with your kids - you just want them to stop the whining.

On Wednesday's airboat ride, Keith Jones the guide and co-owner, knew every bird and plant on the tour. He also took the time to teach the boys how to properly tie the line on a hook and cast. Needless to say, the boys loved it. The tour was more informative and family friendly. Mack’s Fishing Camp airboat tours are the real Everglades.

Why the difference? Unlike several of the airboat facilities in Dade and Broward Mack's Fishing Camp is run by two real "Gladesmen" and the business goes back 5 generations. They live on the camp with their family. My two sons fished on one of the docks and met several of the Jones brothers’ kids.

What is a gladesman? A gladesman is a member of a rural folk culture entirely associated to the Everglades. Gladesmen have been living near or in the Everglades for more than a century. Decades ago, they used the plentiful resources of the Everglades to make a living and for food. Gladesmen were once common in South Florida, but today gladesmen are scarce.

Mack's Fishing Camp is operated by faternal twins Keith and Marshal Jones. The Jones brothers grew up with the Everglades as their backyard sharing it with the snakes, alligators and other gladesmen. Mack's Fishing Camp was founded by the twins great-grandfather , Mack Jones Sr. in 1937.

They describe their childhood nostalgically as similar to a "Huck Finn" novel. They were raised by their grandmother Nell Jones (another Everglades' legend) and grandfather Mack Jr. They explored the Everglades romping barefoot and with a fishing pole ready to cast and reel in the immense variety of abundant fish wading in Everglades - check out this great article by Jeff Klinkenberg, a Tampa By Times Staff Writer who writes about Florida culture. Their grandfather Mack Jr. taught them to fish, gig for frogs, swim, hunt and take care of each other at a very young age.

As gladesmen they grew up learning the way of the Everglades, Today's, gladesmen, like Keith and Marshal Jones can describe many experiences and stories passed down from generation to generation. They were exposed to the gladesmen’s culture and knowledge of natural Glades environment by their fathers, mothers, grandfathers or grandmothers.

According to Laura Ogden, a Florida International anthropologist, gladesman had the uncanny skill to read the wilderness around them. Gladesmen were able to scrutinized the seasonal changes in the area's game and analyzed the faint signs in this landscape - like subtle imprints in the mud, existence of particular birds, or distinct odor to pursue and hunt their prey. Their understanding of these signs and their integral involvement in this environment provided Gladesmen a clear-cut perception of the Everglades' intricate and diverse ecosystem. This was vital because the environment was fundamental to their survival and day-to-day existence.

Before Wednesday’s tour, I had no idea what a gladesmen was and never heard the word. I saw it on some of the signs when we were driving the dirt road to the entance and my son kept asking me what it was.

That night I goolged it and read this awesome Free digital pdf report. And Mack’s Fishing Camp’s website has several links that have fantastic articles about these early pioneers and their keen ability read the wilderness around them - another awesome article - Gladesmen; The Real Everglades. According to this article because of the gladesmen's generational knowledge of the land, Federal and State scientists and biologists routinely consult with them using their years of indigenous knowledge to help in ongoing studies focused on protecting the Everglades.

Because of Mack's Fishing Camp's the rich and unique heritage, the federal government has proposed that Mack's Fishing Camp be listed as a national historic site.

Last, but not least Mack's Fishing Camp is beautiful and the sunset in the Everglades is amazing. Take yours kids to visit this beautiful gem - and visit the Real Everglades you won't regret it.

Cheap Disney Vacations are Within Your Reach Do you wish that you could afford a Disney Vacation? Well, the chances are that you can! All the magic of Disney doesn’t have to come with an exorbitant price tag. With the right planning and ingenuity, Disney vacations can not only be reasonably priced, but even downright cheap. Get started planning your cheap Disney vacations today!

How cheap can a Disney vacation be? And what do you have to do to get one? To begin your planning, you should pick a time of year to take your Disney vacation. The best times are the off-seasons—Hurricane season (August and September), most of January, and October to November are quite times when prices are at their lowest.

Start off by deciding where to stay. Hotels in Orlando have a range of prices, but it’s amazing how low prices can be if you stay off-site. It’s not unusual to find rooms for $30-40 a night. If you have a large party (6+ people), you might want to consider renting a condo or home; you can often find a 3 or more bedroom vacation home in the same price range as a 2.5 star hotel. When you split the cost between multiple families, the cost can be cheaper than any hotel room available. Similarly, if visiting Disneyland, staying off-site will save you hundreds of dollars a night.

When it comes to meals, there are many cheap options in Orlando. Meals inside the Disney parks can have steep prices, so it’s best to plan eating off-site as much as possible. A web search for cheap food in Orlando can help you make a food budget. Getting some basic food items at the local grocery store can also be a great money-saver if you have a fridge in your hotel room.

The biggest cost you will face on a Disney vacation is the actual admission to the Disney parks. The best way to save in this area is to buy multi-day ticket. The price of a one-day ticket to any one of the four Disney World parks is about $80 for an adult. But if you buy an adult 5-day ticket (which allows you to visit one park per day for five days), your cost will be more like $47 per day.

With these tips in mind, you too can enjoy all the magic Disney has to offer. Plan your cheap Disney vacations today!

Vacation Rentals in Miami: A Cost of Living Report

Hotel in Hyatt Vacation Clubs (13)
Hotel in Sheraton (560)

Are you looking for vacation rentals in southern Florida? If so, consider Miami's cost of living

With the seventh largest population in the United States and the fourth richest city in the world, the prices of goods and services in Miami, Florida can be rather high, though the city falls just under the national average in terms of living costs. While the cost of living is lower than that of other cities such as New York City or Los Angeles, Miami contains some of the highest levels of capital in the country due to the city holding the largest concentration of international banks in the United States.

Nicknamed "The Magic City", Miami boasts over fifty skyscrapers, many of which are home to offices that belong to some of the world's largest fortune 500 companies. As a result, many vacation rentals are located throughout the city with vast ranges in price. Although property value has maintained a steady high—perhaps due to popularity among retirees wishing to spend their remaining days in a great climate—the city was voted the second-most miserable city in the United States due the housing market crash. Since the crash, the city holds the rank of eighth in the nation in home foreclosures.

Those seeking vacation rentals should know that Miami, Florida is the eighth most populous city in the United States and holds first place for the most inhabitants in a metropolitan area in the southeast United States. To mitigate Miami's population issue, the city has purchased an extensive public transportation system that includes a commuter rail called the Tri-Rail, a heavy-rail, rapid transit system dubbed the Metrorail, an elevated people mover called the Metromover, and a fleet of Metrobuses that carry users throughout the city streets. Nearly one-fifth of the population uses these systems each day.

According to some data, a salary of at least $50,000 per year is needed to maintain a lifestyle similar to average median income earners that live in Tucson, Arizona, Des Moines, Iowa, or Sacramento, California. Approximately 42% of the city's inhabitants are renters, a number consistent with the entire state.

Blue-collar jobs can be found on the outskirts of the city as Miami is home to large industrial centers for stone quarrying, warehousing and the seafood industry that resides along its lengthy coast. Another important industry is tourism, bringing in over 38 million people annually to visit Miami's many beaches, festivals, nightclubs and events. Students have 17 colleges and universities from which to choose as well as several professional training institutions that reside throughout the city.

All in all, Miami seems to be a great place for retirees or wealthy investors to move to as these types of salary earners have the savings or capital to easily make a life in The Gateway to the Americas. This is partly why the vacation rentals market has proven so successful in sunny Miami. While there is certainly something for everyone in this gorgeous city that was voted "America's Cleanest City in 2008, not everyone can afford prices that tend to be marked higher than the national average.

Vacation Like a Star at Hollywood Beach

2012-04-08T01:04:00.000-07:00

By Andrea Avery

Are you planning your winter vacation? Going to a warm destination in the winter months is one of America's favorite past times. Florida is not only a favorite for retirees, but many Americans young and old alike. Hollywood Beach is a sunshine state beachside favorite that keeps people coming back for more.

Hollywood Beach is a quaint, historic town, but also a hot and happening vacation destination nestled in sunny Florida and just a short, twenty-five minute ride from Miami International Airport. The proximity of the airport to the beach makes for an easy and convenient destination for a weekend getaway, family vacation, or holiday get together.

When the winter hits and temperatures cool down, everyone is always on the hunt for America's best beaches for their family vacations or weekend winter excursions. Many families are looking for a beach destination that encompasses all the interests of the family. Everyone knows that in a family there are different ways to have fun and enjoy time away from it all. Hollywood Beach in sunny Florida makes a perfect choice for that family getaway that will please just about everyone in the family.

With hotels, inns and beaches, parks, and playgrounds all within walking distance from one another, this makes a perfect choice for families who want a one-stop shop for their family vacation. Combining beauty, convenience, history, and leisure all together, Hollywood Beach makes an ideal choice for a lot of people looking for a winter escape.

Hollywood Beach has a seven-mile beach front that offers many activities and amenities for all ages and interests. If your pace is slow and strolling along the beach is for you, then you can take to the beach and feel the sand underneath your feet as you take in the blue green waters of the ocean. If lying on the beach everyday is not for you, then there are exciting activities waiting for you. If you love to be active and are interested in having the waterfront view while enjoying a little exercise, then you will enjoy a two mile paved path that many walking, jogging, or rollerblading enthusiasts love to traverse. But, if you do not wish to spend your day at the beach, either lounging or on the move, then you can take another path at Hollywood Beach.

The Broadwalk offers a yet another side for its visitors to enjoy that is only a few more steps away from the beach. If you are interested in starting your day or spending your day sipping coffee and shopping while the rest of your family suns themselves at the beach, then you are in luck. The countless shops and cafes will keep you busy as you enjoy your retail therapy. And, when it comes time for everyone to meet up for family dinner, there are a wide variety of restaurants that any foodie will love.

Cheap Disney Vacations are Within Your Reach Do you wish that you could afford a Disney Vacation? Well, the chances are that you can! All the magic of Disney doesn’t have to come with an exorbitant price tag. With the right planning and ingenuity, Disney vacations can not only be reasonably priced, but even downright cheap. Get started planning your cheap Disney vacations today!

How cheap can a Disney vacation be? And what do you have to do to get one? To begin your planning, you should pick a time of year to take your Disney vacation. The best times are the off-seasons—Hurricane season (August and September), most of January, and October to November are quite times when prices are at their lowest.

Start off by deciding where to stay. Hotels in Orlando have a range of prices, but it’s amazing how low prices can be if you stay off-site. It’s not unusual to find rooms for $30-40 a night. If you have a large party (6+ people), you might want to consider renting a condo or home; you can often find a 3 or more bedroom vacation home in the same price range as a 2.5 star hotel. When you split the cost between multiple families, the cost can be cheaper than any hotel room available. Similarly, if visiting Disneyland, staying off-site will save you hundreds of dollars a night.

When it comes to meals, there are many cheap options in Orlando. Meals inside the Disney parks can have steep prices, so it’s best to plan eating off-site as much as possible. A web search for cheap food in Orlando can help you make a food budget. Getting some basic food items at the local grocery store can also be a great money-saver if you have a fridge in your hotel room.

The biggest cost you will face on a Disney vacation is the actual admission to the Disney parks. The best way to save in this area is to buy multi-day ticket. The price of a one-day ticket to any one of the four Disney World parks is about $80 for an adult. But if you buy an adult 5-day ticket (which allows you to visit one park per day for five days), your cost will be more like $47 per day.

With these tips in mind, you too can enjoy all the magic Disney has to offer. Plan your cheap Disney vacations today!

Starting from its immaculate white sand beaches up to its world class museums, Miami would never run out of activities to cater you.

If you’re going for a deep sea fishing trip, one great destination would be Miami. This city is filled to the brim with numerous thrilling entertainment opportunities. Starting from its immaculate white sand beaches up to its world class museums, Miami would never run out of activities to cater you.

Nevertheless, one of the most popular activities in Miami would be deep sea fishing. It is an exquisite spot for such an activity because of the "Gulf stream", which is a river that is part of the Atlantic Ocean originating from the Gulf of Mexico’s warm currents.

The slightly warmer currents of this stream are actually utilized as a highway for different kinds of migrating fish. You can choose from a great variety of fishes, small or big. The most popular choices include: pan fishes, big game fishes, kingfish, and sailfish. These and many more are prevalent in Miami’s turquoise waters.

Although there’s a lot of deep sea fishing charters that are available coming from Ft. Lauderdale going to Miami, there are those that stand out, which have credible reputations for class, comfort and catch!

Reel Adventure Charters

First off is Reel Adventure Charters; in which you have "Spellbound", a 56 ft charter fishing boat. It is considered to be the number 1 charter fishing boat around Miami Beach, for whatever kind of fishing activity you are into; whether it be light tackle fishing, deep sea charter to big game fishing.

From the docks of Reel Adventure Charters, you’ll be in the Gulf Stream in no time! In fact it only takes about 10 minutes travel time to go to the stream. This advantage in distance makes their record for big catches quite an impressive one.

Charters are very comfortable, usually with a maximum of 6 people. If you’ll be having a party of 2 or 3 only, you can then arrange for "split charters". They provide you with everything you need, except for your drinks and food.

Sea Cross Sportfishing

If you want a charter with the best modern gadgets and comfort, then the Sea Cross would be perfect for you. Their Custom Rigged Hatteras Sportfishing Yacht would definitely amaze you with all their amenities, such as live well, outriggers, full air conditioning,top-of-the-line tackle and rods, and state of the art electronic gadgets. In fact, they are fully specked and ready to travel anywhere starting from the Florida Keys up to the Bahamas!
They can definitely make your fishing dreams true! They have specialist personnel that have the skills necessary for you to find exactly whatever it is you are looking for. They specialize in all kinds of fishing adventures, such as tarpon to sailfish. They also provide services like long range weekend trips, split charters, multi-boat charters, corporate charters, and night fishing.
Free Spool Sportfishing

Situated at Miami Beach's north end, Haulover Bay, you can find Free Spool. Their captain, a premiere fishing guide in Miami area, has been helping people to fish since 1986. Whether you’re interested in fishing the reef, shallows, or off-shore, He could bring you there.

Keys and Bahamas trips can also be arranged. However, they do not have "split charters", meaning once you book for the boat, you would have it all for yourself; no more fishing with strangers. They can arrange full or half day charters, for a maximum of 4 people. So if you are looking for a really exquisite adventure with an expert "old school" captain, try out Free Spool!
