Orlando International Airport

Yes that’s what I said, when you fly at the Orlando International Airport you’re flying in one of the Best Airports in America!

The Orlando International Airport has been ranked #2 of the Best Airports in America! We were also ranked 1st in entertainment! For a good reason too, we do play host to the happiest place on Earth! Another good reason for being ranked so greatly is our retail stores! We have the best gift shops around; SeaWorld, Universal Studios, Kennedy Space Center, and of course a store called Disney’s EarPort.

So remember the next time you fly at the Orlando International Airport, you’re flying in the best of America!

Orlando Premium Outlets

Don’t you love those words when you see any retail store? “We’re having a Sale!” I have to admit I love a good sale. Mostly because I enjoy saving money on any of the items I buy.

We’re approaching the end of the summer and we all know what that means…Labor Day Sales! The Orlando Premium Outlets will be having a Labor Day Sale so mark your calendar for next weekend!

Beginning Friday, September 3 and ending on Labor Day Monday September 6th you can save 25%-65% off on your items at the Orlando Premium Outlets.  You could also save more on some in-store promotions, my personal favorite!

Man's Best Friend

Today is National Dog Day and if you have a furry friend you should definitely be celebrating! Savannah at Park Central knows your dog is a member of the family and since we’re a pet-friendly community we want to help you celebrate!

It’s no surprise to me that today is National Dog Day, I know my dog definitely deserves it. He’s always waiting for me to greet after a long day,  I can count on him for a smile and he’s there for me. I love it!

We have some great ways to celebrate your four-legged friend!

1. Post pictures of your dog on our Facebook Page! We’ll appreciate them, show us how cute he/she is!
2. Get your pet a treat! A new toy or a delicious doggy snack!
3. Take your dog out for  run, play with them in a wide open space! They’ll love it
4. Pamper your puppy! Give them a bath or take them to the pet salon.
5. Don’t have a dog but want one? Adopt or Rescue!

Have a great National Dog Day!

Piranha 3D comes out in theaters today and honestly I’m excited to see it. Why? Well because I want to see how they remade the movie.

Didn’t know it was a remake? It is, the movie was originally made in 1978! While this movie is definitely a “Summer Blockbuster” I’m willing to see it for some of its qualities.

First, you have to see a remake! A comparison is needed when someone makes a remake. Which movie was better made?

Second, Piranha 3D is well…in 3D. While more movies are being presented in 3D. We need to see all that we can, mostly for the effects!!

You can catch Piranah 3D at the Plaza Cinema Cafe.

It may sound a bit weird but you can go on a safari in Florida! At Forever Florida you can enjoy a guided tour of an eco-safari. Florida EcoSafaris has four different options of safaris you’re sure to find something you’ll definitely enjoy.  You can go on a horse-back safari, natural Florida safari, a zipline safari or a coach safari.

Each of our eco-safaris transport you through Forever Florida; an all too rare wild part of the state preserved just as nature intended. This special place boasts nine distinct Florida ecosystems, home to an endless array of natural flora and fauna including alligators, black bears, white-tail deer, nearly two hundred species of birds and the endangered Florida Panther.

Why not enjoy a safari…when is the next time you’ll enjoy one?

In high school I was a runner, I ran all the time. If there was a sport that required lots of running, I was playing it. Now that I’m a bit older (I refuse to reveal my age) I don’t run as fast as I used to but I still run as often as I can.

Recently there has been a “trend” in the world of running and everyone is talking about it, at least the runners are. This trend is proving to not be a trend at all but a movement.

Vibram Five Fingers is the “movement” every runner is talking about and for good reason too. You’re running barefoot basically and while you may think that’s bad for your feet (lack of arch support, lack of cushion…etc.) it’s actually a very good thing. You’re training your foot to do what it’s supposed to do, support you.

The typical human foot is an anatomical marvel of evolution with 26 bones, 33 joints, 20 muscles, and hundreds of sensory receptors, tendons and ligaments. Like the rest of the body, to keep our feet healthy, they need to be stimulated and exercised.

Introducing Vibram Five Fingers!! They look like a glove for the foot and they are EXTREMELY comfortable. While I haven’t made my purchase yet for these shoes (every good shoe has its price) I will be this weekend (there’s enough money in the piggy bank!).  I’ll be heading out to the Travel Country Outdoors store where they sell Vibram Five Fingers locally. You can also buy online, I like to  try on my running shoes so I won’t be buying online.

Travel Country Outdoors is less than half an hour from Savannah at Park Central! You can either check these shoes out online or at the store!

Oh the name of that store gets me excited!  I’m not even sure what it is, oh wait it’s everything! It doesn’t matter if you’re new to your apartment at Savannah at Park Central or if you’ve lived here longer. IKEA is a great store to get odds and ends.

First the store is massive, you ironically feel as if you’re in a maze (but you need to follow the arrows) and second the prices are very reasonable! Can you imagine buying some of these things at other stores?

Some of my personal favorites at IKEA are the candles, lighting, bedding and kitchen accessories. I really enjoy walking through the showrooms and seeing the decor that’s been set up. This helps me decorate my own apartment because I can visually see what I might like.

What are some of your favorite things at IKEA?
