Florida

America's top vaycay state is best known for its beach resorts and theme parks. But besides the ersatz thrills of Orlando, the nightlife of South Beach, and the well-marketed Victoriana of Key West and Amelia Island, quiet hideaways abound as well.

from eTurboNews: "Visit Florida, the state’s official tourism marketing organization, has launched a new initiative offering all Florida tourism businesses the opportunity to be listed for free on its www.visitflorida.com website." I wonder if business that have paid already for their listings feel gypped.

Oil on beaches, dead fish, and now, oil-spill scams. Be careful! http://bit.ly/dD7TZN

Hi David, Indeed an interesting fenomenom. I like to get Cuban sandwiches and other goodies from some of those trucks. Good price and "with all the trimmings." On a different subject, the national press has suggested that the beaches in the Florida Keys and the Florida Southeast (Atlantic Coast) are contaminated by the BP oil fiasco. That is not true. We were in Miami Beach today and the water was a pristine as ever. Come and see for yourself. Enjoy the balmy weather and the low season hotel prices.

Interesting piece by local food writer Victoria Pesce Elliott in the Miami Herald a couple of days ago about food trucks finally reaching Miami in a big way. You'll find them in locations including South Beach, downtown, the Design District, Biscayne Boulevard, with updates via Web and Twitter. Top contenders include Gastropod (www.gastropodmiami.com, international bistro fare) and Latin Burger (www.latinburger.com) - gourmet tacos, latinized burgers/fries). About time!

Check out www.evergladesareatours.com. They do motorboat assisted kayak eco tours, so a motorboat gets you to scenic locations and then you eco paddle. If it is buggy back in the creeks they can set up around the white sand beach islands closer to the Gulf. I've done this tour in the mornings in summer and had a good time. You still want to use bug spray but if you stay out of the dense mangroves you're going to be much better off.

there are 31 species of mosquitoes in the Everglades. In the summer you'll be on a first name basis with them all. Bad time to visit
