Summary of our trips in 2022

I just barely finished writing the summary of 2021, and it’s already the end of the next year. Does time fly by so fast for you too? The year 2022 finally brought us the end of the pandemic and travel restrictions (at least in most countries). It is true that in January we all had covid, and then we had to ski in Italy in masks (thankfully not all the time), but then it only got better and better 🙂…

Kennedy Space Center – not only for space fans

Kennedy Space Center – not only for space fans

We completed our Florida holiday really strong. We visited the Kennedy Space Center (KSC) on famous Cape Canaveral, where a lot of rockets launch from. For me, this is probably the best attraction in Florida and we recommend this place to everyone, no matter how much you are interested in outer space. If not elready interested, then making the visit will spark that interest! Just a few months before the planned trip, I started checking on the Space Center website…

Homosassa Springs and Weeki Wachee – where to meet manatees

Ellie Schiller Homosassa Springs Wildlife State ParkWe have to admit that the Crystal River and Homosassa area made it to the list of places to visit in Florida after reading one of the popular travel blogs. We really liked the vision of meeting manatees (i.e. sea cows) and kayaking on a crystal clear river. Manatees can be found in Florida not only in this area, but this place seemed special to us. Manatees are large aquatic mammals that inhabit both…

Relaxing in St. Pete and what to do in the area

When planning our Florida vacations, we initially chose Sanibel Island for a short break. It is a beautiful, sparsely populated island located on the west coast of Florida near Fort Myers and Cape Coral. Unfortunately, Sanibel was one of the most damaged sites during Hurricane Ian. The bridge leading to the island was damaged, cutting it off completely from the mainland. Unfortunately, we do not know how much damage was caused to the hotel we booked, but it became clear…

However, this is…

Nimis – Ladonia’s huvudstan
