A Florida Vacation to Remember

Here’s a terrific website for discovering luxury deals and convenient accommodations for your next trip to Florida: Ocean Florida. They showcase some of the most beautiful Florida villas and vacation packages I’ve seen. The villas are incredible, something right out of a book. You can rent them for your Florida vacation stay, or even purchase a villa. The villas are nestled in small cul-de-sac areas, very close to major Florida attractions (such as Disney World), but still distant enough from all the crazy traffic and activity.

New Yorkers have a special affinity for Florida. Most of my Mecomber relatives permanently live down there, now. I don’t see how they can tolerate the Florida heat and humidity. I’d much prefer to visit every year, especially come late February in the the dead of New York winter. Ocean Florida offers some attractive packages including “last minute” packages. These packages are geared toward travelers from the UK, as Ocean Florida is managed by Como St Travel, and is based in Romford, Essex. They are one of the largest and most popular service in the UK, blending knowledgeable consultants and great rates. Customer satisfaction is high.

The photos and package deals are incredible. There’s also a terrific Florida guide page, with maps and articles detailing various attractions for the different regions of Florida. So if you’re looking for a place to hang your hat this winter, or are even daring enough to brave Florida’s heat for a summer trip to Disney World, do check out the website. Besides the excellent deals and accommodations, you can glean a wealth of travel information from Ocean Florida.

Free Radio Disney Concerts in New Jersey!

I apologize to my fellow patriotic New Yorkers, by now mentioning something going on in neighboring New Jersey. Heh heh. But I wish New York State would do stuff like this! There are definitely some neat things to do in New Jersey, and it’s even better when the events are free. Here’s the scoop:

On July 7th, 14th and 21st — Magic Mondays — Radio Disney’s hottest musical artists will appear live on Morey’s Piers, a favorite New Jersey vacation hotspot.

These FREE concerts will take place at the Radio Disney stage next to the Giant Ferris Wheel on Morey’s Mariner’s Landing pier. Show times are scheduled for 1 p.m. and 4 p.m.

Free concerts will be held each Monday for the first three Mondays in July. Scheduled to appear are:

The Radio Disney Summer Concert Series finale is scheduled for 2 p.m. Saturday, July 26, 2008 at the Wildwoods Convention Center Oceanfront Arena with Raven-Symone from the Disney Channel’s ‘That’s so Raven’ and the currently playing Walt Disney movie, ‘College Road Trip’ starring Martin Lawrence and Raven-Symone. The July 26th concert will also feature Mitchel Musso from the Disney Channel Original Series ‘Hannah Montana.’

I visited Wildwood, New Jersey, many years ago. What a beautiful area! There are always many specialty Wildwood events for vacationers there. I love the ocean no matter where I go, and the area around Morey’s Pier is so beautiful. There are also some deals for Cape May hotels, if you are from out of the area.

I think it’s great that organizations are offering free events for budget-minded travelers! Check out the details if you are interested.
