Finding Florida

Posted November 22, 2018

Get ideas of the kind of fun you can have here in Florida for the holidays–a favorite time of year for so many of us. Just because we are in Florida–the SUNSHINE State–doesn’t mean we don’t know how to get into the holiday spirit! Jaime and Glenn will talk to representatives from three different visitors bureaus–St. Augustine, Pensacola, and Tampa Bay, about all the activities going on for the season. But, even if you’re not from any of THOSE places, check with your local visitors bureau to see what’s going on in YOUR town!!

Then, we’ll get into a whole bunch of other fun Florida holiday stuff, introducing you to our first ever double-dose of Our List Fix with “Great Gifts BY Floridians” versus “Goofy Gifts FOR Floridians.” It’s our Florida Holiday Gift Guide!! Listen in…
