4 comments about 50 Great Walks in Florida (Wild Florida).

1. There are a lot of travel books about Florida but Great Walks has a special flavor that makes it much more than just another travel book. These short journies are educational, inspiring and uniquely chosen to give you the taste of something unusual and special. Don't miss the Bo tree in Tampa or the Ospreys at Osprey island - both will open your eyes to a sublime beauty that the casual tourist never sees.



2. I had a chance to talk to Lucy in person -- here's some background: Lucy had a weekly column in the Ocala paper -- she'd report on a lazy ramble at some interesting site she'd just visited, then ask readers to join her next walk. It got to be a very popular column, with lots of walkers showing up every Saturday.
   When Univ Press of Florida was looking for topics for their Wild Florida series, Lucy was a shoo-in. She buckled down, ranging the state for interesting walks. Each section of her finished book has a city walk, a wildlife walk, a great garden, some historic site, and one unusual place.
   Better yet, Lucy's relaxed writing brings each place alive. I prefer floating to walking, but this book has inspired me to get out and ramble (that's amazing in itself!)
   Each walk has complete background information, such as a map, GPS coordinates (are you into geocaching?) admissions, and even lunch spots.
   Lucy drawls when she speaks. Her writing doesn't - it sparkles.

3. I was hooked right from the start and didn't stop reading until finishing walk number 50 in "Old Town Key West." Lucy's award winning writing skills shine forth throughout with her vivid descriptions, fascinating historical background information, and amusing anecdotes. Her photographs and maps are an added bonus. Lucy provided a multitude of rich details about each location and how to get the most out of every walk. Readers are truly left with "no excuses" for not grabbing their walking shoes and starting the exploration of our beautiful state! I'm ready to go!



4. Whether you are 70, 27 or 7, an active outdoors person or just like easy, but interesting walks with friends and family - this guide is for you. Some of the venues are classic Florida gardens or little known historic sites, others quaint small towns, lovely open stretches of wilderness on Florida's awesome coastlines, or trails through shaded hardwood hammocks and sub-tropical havens. Tourists and long-time residents who want to discover the REAL Florida will especially welcome this friendly little book. It's packed with information to lead 21st century explorers down some of the roads and paths less traveled in the Sunshine State.

1 comments about Orlando And Disneyworld, Florida Popout (Popout Map).

1. This is a great idea, a great design, BUT.... it's just too small to be readable and useful. Even with my reading glasses on it's a real struggle to make anything out on this map. Disney itself produces much better maps and most of them you can get for free. Stop by a DVC information desk at Disney World and you can get a good map of the entire Disney property.

1 comments about Streetwise Florida Map - Laminated State Road Map of Florida - Folding pocket size travel map (Streetwise) (Streetwise).

1. I like this map. It is more than what I imagined before buying.
   It pictures well to the details, and it is strong by laminated process.
   Beautiful and not so big for taking for trip.
   Whenever I take a look at the map, I feel as if I were still traveling Florida.

1. Charles Froggatt's "A Hedonist's Guide to Miami" is an unique and diverse guide to the city of Miami, FL.
   His sincerity, bluntness and sarcasm definitely instigates grins and understanding among readers who have experienced what Miami has to offer. "A Hedonist's Guide to Miami" grants one the real flavor of Miami's day to day lifestyle, architecture and culture. It is a passport to the true Miami.

1 comments about Florida Unsolved Mysteries.

1. Author Stephanie Doyle illuminates her stories with suspense and entertaining prose. Some of these stories are familiar: the kidnapping of Adam Walsh from a mall in Hollywood FL and Ted Bundy's last murder rampage(in FL) but Doyle offers new insight into these cases. This is investigative reporting at its finest.
