The Jerk Shrimp Skillet is Excellent One of my favorite places to visit while in Orlando, the menu and ambiance has something for everyone. This franchise restaurant is located in several areas of greater Orlando. We find that the service is friendly and many of the menu items to be excellent.

A Few Tips about the Flagler Hotel/College Tour There are two daily tours, 10am and 2:00pm, starting from the historic Henry Flagler Hotel, now part of the Flagler College. There is a large statue of Henry Flagler on King Street, in front of the college if you want a good reference. We purchased our tickets in the foyer…
A Standard of Excellence in St. Augustine We always look forwards to having at least one meal at Columbia while visiting historic St. Augustine. And, we always sit upstairs at the bar. The last two times we were entertained by pleasant “Michelle” who is working on her 20th year at Columbia. Columbia is a family of Cuban restaurants that…
Worth Visiting if you have the Time I took an outside picture of the Basilica back in 1978.

Is All This Hype True? As a connoisseur of pizza for many years, it was hard to believe what I read that Pizza Time was ranked #2 in the United States by Trip Advisor in 2015. Even though we had just eaten, we had to try a slice of pizza. Located right in the heart of historic St. Augustine,…
A Few Tips on taking this Scenic Cruise There are several sailings each day. The website will tell the times and even some of the tour groups which have already booked. We circumvented going at a time when a young student group was going to be on boat. Victory III is located just south of the Bridge of Lions…
