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.

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…

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…

“What’s the one place I should see?” is the question I always ask when arriving in a new destination. In many of the trips I take I only have time to see or do one activity. So I want to be sure I see the main attraction. This question is often asked to the person at the rental car counter that assists me, the taxi driver that drives me, the server that waits on me and/ or the front desk person who checks me in to the hotel. I like to ask this question to several people because A) I get a variety of opinions and B) the destination that comes up most often is probably the place to visit.
