This is a wonderful time of year in Central Florida. The weather starts to warm up, the days get longer and the strawberries are in season. Just an hour’s drive from Orlando is the town of Plant City, Florida. What you may not know, is Plant City is home to strawberries. While oranges are most often associated with the Sunshine State (in fact I’ve written about them before here), strawberries are another huge crop in the Central Florida Corridor. Leave a comment |

I’m currently in Vancouver, Canada. Home of the 2010 Winter Olympics. It turns out that the hotel I’m staying at is quite far from the city, making a trip to downtown unlikely. Nonetheless, I was able to find an adventure today of Olympic proportions… When mom heard I was off to Vancouver, she made one request; “buy me a pair of Olympic Red Mittens”. Leave a comment |

I’m officially tired of winter. I live in Orlando, Florida; The Sunshine State. The state surrounded by beaches on three sides. I should have been to those beaches several times by now. I haven’t been once. Mother Nature gave us a bit of a reprieve this past weekend with a tease of warm weather. Many Floridians (including myself), took advantage of it by going to the 2010 Plant City Florida Strawberry Festival. I should hopefully have those posts published in the next few days. But now I’m returning to the cold weather of Canada for week 3 of my 5 week adventure through the country. Leave a comment |

Quick, get out a map. Can you find the easternmost point in North America? Go ahead, stop reading and find it. Back? Were you able to locate it? On my trip to St. John’s, Newfoundland in Canada I was told that Cape Spear is the easternmost point on the continent of North America. It was about a 20 minute drive from my hotel and I didn’t have a rental car! It would have been a shame to come this far and not make a trip out there. Fortunately, my host graciously offered to drive us to the cape. Watch this YouTube video to see what I found… Leave a comment |
