As I mentioned in my Geocaching post, my family and I found a cache (Kissimmee Army Airfield – Pre WWII) near the Kissimmee Gateway Airport, and from it I learned that this particular airport had been a Pre-WWII military base. As we were leaving the cache that day I noticed a sign along the side [...]
Let’s face it, Florida is HOT. We all know it and we all deal with it, mostly by spending our days in the pool! While I do have a pool in my own backyard, sometimes it is just more fun to go to a place with slides and a splash area.
Hello everyone, my name is Brenda Sullivan and I am a native Floridian who at different times has called the East Coast, Panhandle and Central Florida home! I am originally from Merritt Island, where I grew up loving the beach life and living so close to Kennedy Space Center that the windows and anything hanging [...]
When I set out on my week in Kissimmee to find some things for a group of guys on vacation, I worried a little that it might be too difficult. But I was wrong. I found plenty. Because of time, money and scheduling, I couldn’t do it all. Here’s some things you could add to [...]
Walt Disney World caters to children and families, right? There’s nothing for a group of guys to do there, right? Wrong. Case in point: Downtown Disney. Sure, there are families and kids roaming the streets, playing in the Lego store, shopping for souvenirs or riding the little choo-choo train. But take a look around.
Let’s be honest. August in Florida lends itself to over-the-top metaphors: swimming in pools of sweat, melting into pavements and so on. But even though I am of relatively sound mind and body (though some may disagree), I chose this week in the middle of summer’s dog days to guest blog for www.iseeKissimmee.com. And why [...]
Where did it go? Wow, time flies when you’re having fun! It seemed like just yesterday we were getting to Florida, and suddenly we find ourselves having to make the long trip home. I’ve never regretted spending a single day in Florida, and this vacation was no exception. We got here, expecting to be hot, [...]
Just two days ago, I was signing out of Fort Bragg for the final time, as I officially left active duty and entered civilian life. I was an Army Paratrooper for around 3 years, and when I returned from Afghanistan in 2009, I told my wife that when I was through with my service, we’d finally do what we promised each other years before, which was that we’d move to Florida.
First things first: what’s an airboat? You know those boats with giant fans on the back that you see featured in good guy/bad guy chases through the Everglades and swamps in crime shows based in Florida? You know that boat with a big fan on the back that Mama, Kathy Bates’ character in The Waterboy, [...]
Ask anyone from any religion and they’ll tell you it’s true: converts are generally more educated and enthusiastic about their faith than those who were born into it. I think it has something to do with choosing versus accepting, or maybe it’s just the thrill of having something be new. I believe the same generalization [...]
As the end of our vacation draws near, we can look back on some magical times. This time around we revisited some of our favourite places and discovered a few new ones as well. Kissimmee is the heart of Florida but it is the centre of our vacation as well. Being located in the middle of just [...]
The say that women are from Venus and men are from Mars. This is most definitely true when it comes to shopping. Men and women do seem to have polarised views of how, when and where to shop. Whilst my wife likes to browse… for a long, long, long time around the shops, I prefer to [...]
