One anniversary I took my wife to a vacation rental spot in Key West called Keys Luxury Resort. They have two properties that you can select from depending on what your taste is. We chose the Coral Hammock Vacation Homes since we weren’t much of boaters and wouldn’t get much use out of the docks at Oceanside Condos and Marina. The Coral is set up like a little community with condo rentals located throughout. We had a great time on our Key West, Florida vacation as there are many things to do in Key West Florida. We went snorkeling, diving, ate at some decent url=http://www.happycow.net/north_america/usa/florida/key_... read more

I like Disney World. It has got to be one of the most fun and exciting places I've been to. My uncle says that everyone gets to be a kid at Disney, and that's why they have to keep it so fun to visit. Anyway we got to go to olando this month and let me tell you I could sleep forever after this trip. We got to stay at a really nice hotel called the Quality Suites Maingate which is in Kissimee (which sounds like what my Mom would say when she tucked me in when I was a kid). Their rooms were huge, about as big as uncle Joshs' apartment back home, and it was right near all the parks we were going to visit so it was really easy to ju... read more

Key West Bed and Breakfast The Heron House is a Key West bed & breakfast we stayed at 2 years ago when we went to the Keys for a friends wedding. It was really nice with beautiful gardens that occupied every corner of the property. This was a luxury bed & breakfast if I ever saw one. With only 23 rooms you get a real sense of seclusion and privacy. As for eating, you would think a city like Key West would have a lot of health food options. They had a couple that I clustered when surfing the net. The Café was really good. Not completely vegetarian, but the vegan menu was large and scrumptious. ... read more

St Petersburg Resort The wife and I checked into this great resort back in May of 2004 as a birthday trip for myself. We wanted to check out St Petes Beach, which I've never been to, and also to maybe hit Busch Gardens when we got bored. The Dolphin Beach Resort was really nice and the service was great. The employees seemed genuinely courteous and friendly and were well informed about the local area. One of the guys actually knew of some great vegan restaurants that we ate at. We ate at the Rollin’ Oats Market and café, which wasn’t 100% vegan, but they had some options for us. Plus we were able to pick up stuff to take back to the resort and eat later. We also tried out Evo’s which is a fast food ... read more

Hey everyone. It has been another eventful couple of weeks. It has really flown by. Thanks to everyone who has emailed us. We really appreciate it and apologize that we don't always get the time to reply to you all individually. We spent another couple of days around Williamsburg and Jamestown, Virginia and cycled to the site of the first (successful) British colony in the US. There is a great visitors centre with replicas of the original ships the settlers travelled over on. From there we travelled on to Savannah, Georgia. It was set up as a town, paid for by the British Government, for those who wanted to escape poverty, injustice, class divides etc. The whole idea didn't really last very long, but the thought was there. It is a totally planned town. If you ... read more
