ABOUT US

Old Spanish Sugar Mill Grill Pancake DeLeon Springs State Park Florida

Howard & Jerry

Two guys from Central Florida who enjoy adventure and discovery on the backroads. We prefer taking the scenic route, finding out-of-the-way historical sites, and local flavor in hole-in-the wall cafés and guesthouses. Budget travel and economy are definite factors in trip planning, but we are not afraid to splurge occasionally. We also enjoy national and state parks and collecting passport stamps along the way. We hope you can use our site to help plan your own adventures. Please contact us if we can help you in any way . . . .

      Instagram post 2174806813120051574_635215538 If you plan to drive from Phoenix, Arizona, to Grand Canyon National Park, you will want to overnite in Flagstaff to allow a full day at the canyon.
•
That said, the 2.5-hour drive from Phoenix to Flagstaff on I-17 allows plenty of time for some amazing stops on day one.
•
Two national monuments, an experimental town, a legendary pie café, and other attractions can turn your otherwise dull interstate drive into an Arizona adventure.

      Instagram post 2159560027891783965_635215538 A South African safari has been on my travel wishlist for as long as I can remember. Recently, I discovered that @rangerbucksafaris feature luxury lodging & dining, stunning landscapes, and African wildlife encounters.
•
One of the most exciting safari options is the Rhino Darting Experience. Guests witness the darting of a rhino from a helicopter and participate in hands-on medical and tracking tasks to aid conservation efforts for these rare and beautiful creatures.

Anticipation of a Ranger Buck Safari has me ready to pack my bags!

      Instagram post 2153079797559771406_635215538 Most people associate the saguaro cactus with the state of Arizona, but I have a love affair with Arizona’s Ponderosa pines. The clear scent of butterscotch emanating from the pine bark is utterly intoxicating to this tree-hugger.
