Time to Share – Marriott’s Harbour Lake

Posted on October 13, 2013 by Lesley | 3 Comments

I’d never stayed at a timeshare property. I’d never even visited one. Doesn’t that sound odd since I travel so frequently? I honestly thought that timeshares were for older people and they restricted you to one location indefinitely. How naive is that? But I bet I’m not alone, right? Then, I had the opportunity to visit Marriott’s Harbour Lake and…

Located in Orlando, Florida, Marriott’s Harbour Lake is surrounded by the magic and thrill of one of the world’s favorite family vacation destinations, but with hourly activities, pools, board games, mini golf, water fun zones, and sports who wants to leave the property? I’ve gone to theme parks and left frustrated, tired, and stressed and that’s not to mention the…

Let it Rain at Marriott’s Harbour Lake, Florida

Posted on October 7, 2013 by Lesley | 6 Comments

The rain was coming down in buckets when I arrived at Marriott’s Harbour Lake, A Marriott Vacation Club Resort, in Orlando, Florida today. I was discouraged. I’m only here for three days; I didn’t want to spend one of them with nothing to do. When I checked in, though, and was handed the resort activity guide, my mood instantly changed. Their…

It was shaping up to be a dark and stormy night….really it was; the wind was carrying the dark clouds straight for us. Perfect weather for a ghost tour!!! If you’ve never done a ghost tour, they are a great way to learn the history of an area. I’ve done them in Savannah, St. Augustine, San Francisco, and they’re always…

Featured Writer: Travels With Curley We just returned from a family trip to Sanibel Island, Florida and were completely charmed by the small town feel and natural beauty of this 16-mile long island on the Gulf coast.

Featured Writer: Alyssa Boisvert Places: Everglades NP, Florida #2: Have a Steve Irwin moment I had to reach deep into the memory file for this one, back to the sweet days in ’02 when I was busy creating projects about saving the Amazon River Dolphins from extinction and my obsession with Steve Irwin was still going strong. He was my…

What To Eat Before Meeting An Astronaut

Featured writer: A. Winters The Space Coast is a unique place with a Santa Cruz, CA meets St. Petersburg, FL vibe. Everyone is tan with a mellow laid-back attitude. The homes and shops are brightly-colored and almost everywhere you look there are surf shops. The breezy evenings are wonderful for stereotypical strolls on the beach with breathtaking sunsets. It’s the…

While visiting South Beach, I toured twelve hotels to check out their rooms and facilities. One of my goals was to find the best…

Ziplining the Canyons in Ocala, FL… Awesome!

Posted on January 3, 2013 by admin | 2 Comments

Featured writer: Steph’s Best It was a perfectly clear and mild day, about 80°. It seemed like a good day to launch myself out of a perfectly good tree, fly over some deep ravines and lakes, and finish it off by rappelling off a 30(ish)-foot high platform. So I did that. And it was full-on, giddy, stomach-butterflying, adrenaline-pumping, permagrin-producing FUN. Ziplining…

The town of Cassadaga, between Orlando, and Daytona, in central Florida, was founded by George P. Colby. Mr. Colby said he was led there through the wilderness from New…
