Halloween is once again upon us! It´s a haunted world we live in (in more ways than one), and lots of people travel to experience the adventurous and spooky - and not just around All Hallow´s Eve, either, but all year round . Abandoned houses/hospitals, ancient palaces and fortresses, old cemeteries, dense forests – many of these have a strange, peculiar feeling about them, and more than a few are the sites of tragic events and present-day ghost sightings. Here are ten of th

When planning a trip to Orlando, picking the right time to visit is crucial for an enjoyable experience.

During these periods, you can enjoy comfortable temperatures, making it ideal for exploring theme parks and outdoor attractions. Additionally, these months often have fewer visitors, meaning shorter lines and less crowded attractions.

At age 458 - founded during the Spanish empire by Admiral Pedro Menéndez de Avilés - St. Augustine is the oldest continuously occupied settlement in the United States. There’s a lot to recommend a city that old, including charming colonial architecture and a lot of history - not just stretching back centuries but also including its beginnings as a tourism mecca during the Victorian era, the early 20th century, and even the Civil Rights movement of the 1960s. And of cours
Attracting more than 120 million holidaymakers annually, the Sunshine State is famously home to many beautiful beaches on both the Atlantic Ocean and the Gulf of Mexico, and is known for its bright sunshine, tall palm trees, crystal clear turquoise waters, expansive beaches, theme parks; and resorts. And here's our list of picks (obviously by no means exhaustive) of a dozen of the best resorts - from very affordable to very exclusive, and intimate to enormous - across
Did you known that Jacksonville (population around 904,000) is the Sunshine State's most populous city? It also happens to be one of the state's most attractive. This clean, progressive, and modern metropolis on northeastern Florida's St. John's River is a great place to visit, and a great place to live, from its amenities to its surprisingly low cost of living and excellent job availability. However, beyond beyond its lifestyle, a city with little to keep you occupied during your free time sti
Founded on Florida's Gulf coast in 1888 - and, yes, named after the famed Russian city (on a whim of one of the city's founders, who actually flipped a coin to decide the matter with his co-founder) - "St. Pete" has fairly little in common with its larger Slavic namesake. But one major exception is that in both you could spend days on end exploring a wealth of fascinating museums. In addition to the classic Florida sun and nearby beaches that it's known for, the ever growing arts scene and art

Originally built and operated under different brands, Sheraton took over the Bay Point Resort in 2015 with a $30 million overhaul ,redeveloping this quintessenti
With a name like PGA National Resort & Spa, home of the annual Honda Classic in Palm Beach Gardens, Florida, you'd be right to assume that golf is big here, with five onsite championship golf courses including one that's brand new and Tom Fazio-designed. But even for travelers who haven't swung a club and never plan on it, PGA National's wide array of other award-winning amenities make it a premier go-to Florida escape.

I don't have kids and I haven't been a fan of Disney since I was wee little thing, but I was pleasantly surprised yesterday when Disney's Vero Beach Resort introduced me to their pirate-themed dining experience during a special preview. No doubt, the pirate dinners are fun for kids and the kid at heart in us grown-ups, too.
Before the meal begins, a costumed cast member asks diners to participate in a fun ceremony. All those standing must pledge to be good pirates. But the buck doesn't stop there
