When I think about Florida I think about DisneyLand, beaches, rain, and alligators. I know there is more to this state than these four words, but I am at a loss as to what that could be. I wonder if I am the only one with this thought?
It is a good thing my next trip online is Florida. I will have my answer and see how much more I can learn about this state. Who knows I may find that I would like to visit it in reality one day.
{} Florida US State
Description Florida is the southeasternmost U.S state, with the Atlantic on one side and the Gulf of Mexico on the other. It has hundreds of miles of beaches. The city of Miami is known for its Latin-American cultural influences and notable arts scene, as well as its nightlife, especially in upscale South Beach. Orlando is famed for theme parks, including Walt Disney World. — Google {}
When most people think of Florida, they think of sunshine, theme parks, orange juice and alligators. But this former Spanish colony, which became the 27th state to enter the Union, is much more than that. Bordered by the Atlantic Ocean on one side and the Gulf of Mexico on the other, it has mile upon mile white sand beaches. Its moderate climate makes it a popular tourist destination all year round. Here’s a look at the best places to visit in Florida.{}
#1 This video spoke of pretty much what I thought Florida was hot and too many people. Some may say I worry too much, but I will be keeping my mask on when I am out in the public. I will also still not be in a crowd… Moving on….
Ten “Secret” Places in Florida – Things to see in Florida that Tourists Don’t Know About. •Sep 7, 2020
Florida With Five It is hard to keep anything in Florida a secret, but there are some places that aren’t well known! We personally plan to visit each and every one of the spots on this list – and you better believe that we plan on taking all of you along with us. {}
#2 This video was a surprise to me, not because of the places they talked about, but because they weren’t actually there. My first thought was to click off, because I didn’t think I was going to get any information from this video. I was Wrong. I found myself wanting to visit a few of the state parks, like The Falling Water State Park seems like a cool place to visit and take beautiful pictures.
Flourish Ever After We escaped the worst two weeks of winter and drove down to a tropical paradise – the Florida Keys! Behold – the ultimate Florida Keys travel guide is born!!! What to do and where to eat in the Florida Keys. Still dreaming of those crepes. You’ll have to watch to see where. What is your favorite thing to do in the Florida Keys?{}
#3 I only enjoy looking at the water and if I ever get on a boat it will be a big one. I did enjoy seeing the places they went and the pictures of what they were eating made me want to try something new as well.
I was thinking it would have been nice to see more pictures as they were driving to their next designation. If you like the idea of being in and around water I hope this video gave you some good ideas…..
** A Side Note: There are a few other cities in Florida and sorry, but I am not going to go into a part 2 or 3 for this state. The picture looks nice to visit, but the heat really isn’t drawing me there. I will list a few places and it will be up to you if you want more info and if one REALLY stands out to me. I will give more info.
Fort Myers, Florida – https://www.fortmyers-sanibel.com/ – If you click on this link there is a free guide of things to do before you actually go there/ if you want to go there? I liked that idea and even clicked on it myself. I also liked that people were still in masks. One can still be out and about and be safe. If I do go, it will be in the winter time.
I got up with a plan and was ready to set it free, but life doesn’t always go as planned. If we start making a list of everything that goes wrong. Would that list become hurtful words or if we counteract every good thing that came from that list turn into a smile?
{} If thou faint in the day of adversity, Thy strength is small.
Some may even say it is a waste of time to let your feelings out either in written words or talking them out with someone else. Words are more than just words, they are feelings, they can be the truth, and if the truth hurts?
We either stand strong and fight through them or we run and let them take over our lives. I choose to stand strong and continue to write out the good along with the bad. The bad will not win within my list.
List #1 List #2
Go out early ~ Didn’t charge my phone
Mind changing ~ Phone 18%, but still on
The Sun/Heat ~ No dancing, just walking
At least 30 minutes ~ Only 25 minutes
The question is: Which is the good list and the bad list? I may not have been able to get out as early as I liked or walked as long as I wanted, but I didn’t let my bad list hold me back from being a better me.
The time I spent outside walking I not only got in some steps, but some much needed vitamin D (that didn’t come from a bottle). In the end both of my lists were good.
I was able to see a bird or two (one day I am going to get a better camera so the next time I come across something worth taking a picture I can). I actually stood watching them go about their business without a care in the world.
My steps even took me a few blocks out of my way in a different direction then my normal walk. If the sun wasn’t so hot, I could have walked longer, then again I enjoyed every step, and it was a good start of my day….
I am still tripping over the fact that there are two Newarks? One is in Delaware and the one I know of is in New Jersey, and like most believed that was the only one. I am taking a side step on my traveling across America online to learn the difference between these two states..
It has been said, “One is never too old to learn,” or “we learn something new every day,” and the saying’s are endless….

#1 This is one time I wish there was just music. There was some nice information, but I would have liked less talking. I guess it was just a little on the slow side for me.
#2 This was a most enjoyable video, because the snow just made this neighborhood look so pretty. I like to look at the snow, but I will not live in it ever again…
While walking in the town I live and travel through on a daily basis, I found a cute little boutique, Vloom, that I have never seen before and ate in a restaurant, Santa Fe, I have never been to.

#3 This video was real. She talked about the area, how it is and how it was and hopeful how it would return as she walked. She passed a church with no info, or words of any kind, and I almost stopped watching.
Well, I did stop the video, but clicked on play again. I did like the flow of what I had seen and was going to get over not knowing the answer to my question.
To my surprise I was “Happy” when she went into a little store called ‘Bloom’ that made me think of “Bell-books & Candles” from the TV series Good Witch. I may not never get to go there, but there is a website and I can’t wait to see if I like something worth buying. I am pretty sure I will…
**I was only going to do 2 videos on Newark Delaware, but I got in three. (yes, I watched a few others, but nothing worth watching twice). Time to go to Newark, New Jersey…
{} Newark City in New Jersey Description – Newark is a New Jersey city, home to Newark Liberty International Airport.

#4 This video didn’t need any words to explain what was being shown and the soft music in the background was nice as I watched this city while I worked on my orange & blue project.
** I guess this is the only video I will post about Newark, NJ. It is true there are a few areas that aren’t good to live in, but I am sure there has to be some nice areas there too? I don’t really know, because this was the only video I found.
I should keep looking, but I am so over it. Let me recap on the differences between these two cities. Newark, DE looks to be a nice area to lose yourself in a nice walk through town and it felt welcome. One shouldn’t go to Newark, NJ unless they are used to walking into a Real world area.
I cannot believe I was about to give up on my idea of traveling online to see the States across America, because I got bored. Not every State will be exciting, but I am sure I can find something enjoyable to watch. I will not give up just to prove myself “right”. My next stop is Delaware. I have no idea where it is or anything about this state. I can’t wait to learn something new and hopefully fun….

Side Note : They had a video with this site and within seconds of watching the pretty blue water I was hooked. I wonder how many cool videos I will find……

#1 : I surprised myself by watching a video without sound. Then again I clicked on four videos before this one and two sounded like a robot and the others I couldn’t get past the unusual sound supposed to be someone’s voice.
Side note : I made a video or two (not on YouTube and not that long)and my voice was not as clear and didn’t sound like myself, so I got it, but there was no way I was going to enjoy a twenty minute long video if I was trying to block out their voices.. Sorry…
I opened another page and started listening to jazz as I watched this city and working on my “Baby Blue” crochet project. I liked the building and even saw a corner store and that brought a smile. It reminded me of the time I spent in New York, where you can find almost anything in a corner store.
Three things caught my attent within this video:
Delaware Historical Society – This was a cool sign that is like a small bridge above the city street.
A building called “Queen”
Another building called “ Milk & Honey” I believe is a coffee shop. About to see if I am right?
All hail her royal highness, The Queen! Originally built in the 1800s, “The Indian Queen Hotel” was a popular place for traveling sailors to spend the night. From 1916-1959, the hotel was repurposed into a movie theater and brought joy to thousands of locals. Sadly, it was abandoned and sat dormant for over 50 years. With water pouring through the ceilings, the walls caving in, and the façad. e crumbling, this majestic theater had become a faded memory of Market Street’s vibrant past. However, as all good leaders do, The Queen found her way back to the throne and reopened her doors to the people on April 1st, 2011. Today, she stands as one of the most historic buildings and theaters in Wilmington, Delaware.
#1.2 ~ Isn’t a video, but highlights about this building that has a history of entertaining for years ago and brought back to life to continue with its path. If you go to The Queen’s website (above info) you can take a virtual tour of the building.
Side Note: In my younger days I could see myself going to a concert here and enjoying dancing along with others enjoying some good music. I don’t see a gospel or an artist who plays jazz performing here. Then again I could be wrong. I can see myself in a private event, something special, and to remember.
After 10 years of operating Loma Coffee as a place to make the community feel welcome and well-served, it is bittersweet to announce that Loma Coffee has turned over the coffee shop operation to theMilk and Honey Café at Loma. Milk & Honey will begin serving its notable style of coffee and handcrafted meals to the Lower market community in early October.
Sycamore Hill Church-Wilmington will continue its partnership in this space with the purpose of remaining a neighbor and spiritual resource for the community. {}
# 1.3 ~ I was right about the building “Milk & Honey,” but it took me awhile to locate the one I saw. There are two cafe’s with this same name and I read a little of each . It got me thinking I would like to go to this café and try their coffee and enjoy a meal. (Well, if they had anything that didn’t have any meat in it, because I am still cutting that mostly out of my diet)
Side Note: So far Milk & Honey is the only thing that I find interesting about Delaware, but this is a chain café and I do recall seeing one in Queens. My hometown in New York and Queens isn’t that far away.
I almost passed over looking at this site, because of the name. I am glad I looked at the building on 239 N. Market St, because this is the building I saw. I wonder if you could order a bag or two of coffee??
Before I go and pick up my light blue project (which is a little bigger then what is shown in this picture) I believe I will try and find one more video….
I have no interest in sports or the top college there is in Delaware. I did find two more 4K videos, but they have no sounds and I don’t feel like listening as I watch them drive around. It was nice the first time and I am sure I may see something I might like, but I was looking for more information.

The Country Starts in New Castle, Delaware
Travel with Trey Travel with Trey to the city where the country began to take shape on a collision course with independence from England. Prior to Philadelphia’s prominence on the national stage, New Castle was an influential colonial town where politicians, pugilists, and commoners gathered to stake a claim in the new land. New Castle quickly became identified with one of the first seats of government. William Penn first set foot here on the new land, and the “First State” was declared here at the New Castle courthouse.

The word castle caught my attention first and thought why not look up NewCastle and I am glad I did. There was a nice looking building and it looked like a cool place to take long walks.
Side Note: I am beyond curious about Newark in Delaware, because I thought it was just in New Jersey. I am going to have to go off route and and compare these two cities before I continue with my regular traveling.
