A Few Tips on Visiting Grace Bay Area Words can hardly express—fall short—in describing the beauty of this famous bay. Many times during the year the bay is quiet. Only during the high periods around Christmas do you see many people. The turquoise waters are so blue and clear and the powdery sand so soft on the feet, you…
The Irish Soda Bread is the Best Located in the center of Disney Springs, Irish entertainment and food is offered in a “Disneyesque” style. Many times there is Irish Step Dancing and a band playing. There is inside and outside seating. The place does fill up and sometimes you may need reservations for later seating. We have always enjoyed the…
Always Good This Cheesecake Factory is located in the store complex known as Downtown at the Gardens north on the Lake Victoria Gardens road. The establishment sits on a small pond with a beautiful fountain. Seating in the atrium or even the outside patio area will give you a view of the pond’s spurting fountain spray. We like to…

The Soups were Good Located in the Embassy Suites near the Miami airport, it is a passing alternative to an area lacking any restaurants. A fast flowing waterfall is nearby and there are several tables close to that attraction. There is plenty of room inside and inviting bar area too. My wife liked her Black Bean soup. I enjoyed…
Advantages and some Negatives As we live over a hundred miles from Miami and having to take an early flight out, we decided to book this hotel. The decision was due for the extended car parking offered by this Embassy. A shuttle will take you to the airport or even the port of Miami. We had Seri lead us to…
A Few Tips on Visiting the Only Conch Farm in the World Located on the southern end of Leeward Highway, the only Conch Farm in the world is easy to find. You will eventually hit a dirt road for a short while, but don’t let this discourage you from visiting. This was our second visit, first being in 2007. Unfortunately,…
A Great Salad Bar There appears to be two main grocery stores on the island, one being the IGA on Leeward Highway, and the other close to Salt Mills known as Graceway Gourmet. We did find cheaper “ice cream” products at IGA as well as a few other products. Going to any one of these grocery stores is a…
