If you hear twin sonic booms, look up quick. That's the sound space shuttles make as they head in for landings at Kennedy Space Center.

    Skydiving on the Space Coast of Florida

    By: Miguel Villamil

    If you haven’t tried skydiving, trust me, you don’t know what you are missing. It’s safer than swimming with sharks but more dangerous than watching TV and one of the best ways to make sure you are living life to the fullest. I highly recommend it for anyone, even George Bush senior did it for his 80th birthday. Skydive Space Center is where I did my first tandem jump. Tandem Skydiving is skydiving connected to an instructor though a harness, the skydivers/instructors at skydive space center all have more than 15,000 jumps under their belt so you can feel safe with them. The people at skydive space center provide everything needed to jump out of an airplane and land safe and sound all you need to do is show up. They offer tandem and single jumps at both of their locations one being in Titusville and the other in Jacksonville Florida. Read More…

    Daytona Beach - A Day of Water Views

    As a local you will appreciate how much you get out of visiting all the famous and most popular places around Daytona. You will also know that the fantastic enjoyment that you get from this experience is something you appreciate so much but did you know that there are some Florida locals that haven’t a clue what they are missing…

    This is for the locals that didn’t know that in Daytona the famous 23 miles of white sandy beaches with huge waves of the Atlantic crashing along the shoreline is THE place to surf boogie board. Or you can spend the day relaxing in the glorious Florida sun with a cool drink or two and watch the excitement as surfer after surfer rides on in; and to think it’s also a very relaxing way to spend the day.

    Florida Restaurants

    L’Escalier Palm Beach

    By Gary J. Arzt

    If you’re in Palm Beach, and looking for classic French food and service, L’Escalier is the right choice. A very attractive room, classically baroque with plenty of space between the white cloths draped tables.

    Located in The Breakers, Palm Beach’s historical, landmark hotel, you have to know that the restaurant will be, as the British say, ‘up market.’ And so it is. It also delivers the best meal in south Florida, and is easily accessible to those living in the four east coast counties (Palm Beach, Broward, Miami Dade, and Monroe).

    It provides the kind of dinning, and service, that is not readily available in Florida, or, for that matter, elsewhere. The operative word is elegant! Dishes brought to the table under silver plate domes; soup poured from individual small tureens. Read More…
