A fall kinda day

Hi everyone on this chilly afternoon Friday! It's starting to feel like fall- start putting away those shorts and swimsuits and take out your fall sweaters. I happen to love this time of year when you can take a stroll with nothing but a sweater. It's definitely my favorite time of year.

Well, getting back to my review of Florida. Did you know that many people refer to Florida as a tropical New York? It's because most of the people in Florida are from New York. Who blames them- you're getting the best of both. The conveniences of New York such as shopping plazas and then the tropical climate and the beautiful beaches- it's a great way to vacation!

Now, let me give you the run down of places you must visit or try if you're there. You must buy tickets to the jungle queen while you're in Ft. Lauderdale. It will take you through the "Venice of the United States" and show you houses of the rich and famous. It will also make a stop on a small island. On the island you'll see tropical birds, plants, flowers and an alligator show. Then after the boat ride have a relaxing lunch on the water at Coconuts. 
Then for dinner check out Thai Spice if you like Thai food. It has a great ambiance and the food is amazing. It's a great delectation. Now, for a night on the town, if you like some rock or a little taste of Bob Marley and a time to just kick back with Blue Moon or a glass of wine visit the Elbow room, The Rock bar with sofas out front, The Pirate bar where the locals all hang out and Quaterdeck, a cool sports bar with swings on the beach. All these places can be found on the strip along the beach. One last note- definitely try Oasis Cafe. I wasn't able to, but I heard it has swings on the beach and you can enjoy the sunset, while having dessert and cocktail or cafe au -lait with you're sweetheart. 

If you're ever in the area make it a point to take a stroll and visit these places , you won't regret it.

Until next time I bid you adieu...
