I was fortunate to find your web site before a recent trip with my son for his spring break. We took bicycles and kayaks with us based on all your great trail information. I offered the typical theme parks, but each day he chose and outdoor activity instead. What a fantastic way to spend time with my son.
We biked at Shark Valley, kayaked to Indian Island Key and the Anne Kolb Nature center which were all great suggestions form your site. We also ventured onto many of the beautiful and flat bike trails.
We really appreciate your accurate commentary and helpful hints on what to see and how to do it economically. Thank you for all your hard work. It is very much appreciated.

Hi Tony, We do not now and never have sent emails every day, but I hear you. If you signed up for our newsletter, we only send that once a month, and it has no ads. If you signed up for new-post notifications, you would only get one a week at most. No ads on those, either. We do have ads on our web site, but that's how we finance our travels and writing. But I understand your point and have taken the liberty to remove your email address from both lists. You can always sign back up if you miss us! And thanks for your input. Always appreciated. :-)
