Where Shall We Go?

COMING SOON:   HAVE YOU EVER WANTED TO JUMP OUT OF A PERFECTLY GOOD AIRPLANE?  

Destination:  Hollywood Beach, Florida

Want a delightful historic beachfront destination?  Just a short Uber drive away form Miami to the south and Fort Lauderdale to the north, Hollywood Beach is nestled in between, expanding your experience by two.  Founded in 1921, Hollywood Beach hosted the "Grand Lady" Resort, which boasted 500 rooms and the world's largest solartarium at the time. Known as "Hollywood by the Sea", the beach offers a 2.5 mile long boardwalk, right on the Atlantic Ocean shore, and offers tons of shopping and dining options, including an outdoor venue for live music and concerts.  The area also offers over 60 parks and over 7 miles of beautiful shoreline.  Hollywood Beach Florida is a great southern Florida destination for a short getaway or an extended stay.  It gives the feel of old Florida with the added feature of the warmth of southern Florida's Atlantic coast. With its close proximity to Miami and Fort Lauderdale, Hollywood Beach makes a nice vacation spot to for exploring nearby cities.  I give Hollywood Beach Florida a 9 out of 10.  

What's Cookin' Food Review: 

 At the Margaritaville Resort, they have an intracoastal restaurant across the street from the hotel.  It's a restaurant and bar called Five O'Clock Somewhere.  The view was spectacular with the boats cruising across the canals with a lavender and pink sunset backdrop, It was a beautiful way to enjoy a casual dinner.  For dessert, I chose the Key Lime Pie. It was fantastic!  They even had live music giving an ample taste of classic rock and roll.  Bon appetit!    

HIFI Music Review: Summer Concert Series.  

I enjoyed the musical groupings of ZZ Top and Lynyrd Skynyrd at the Ruoff Music Amphitheater in beautiful midwestern Noblesville Indiana.  It was a spectacular mishmash of La Grange and Freebird.  Skynyrd paid homage to their band brother, Gary Rossington.  Gary was the last surviving member of the original lineup of the band, and his presence was made known through big screen home videos and footage of the years Gary kept the southern rock vibe alive.  In all of southern rock history, Lynyrd Skynryd is one name that can never be forgotten.  Beloved by millions, the spirit of southern rock is hard pressed to be surpassed, and with lighters and cell phones raised, the entire night sky was lit up with the lyrics, "Fly high, freebird, yeah!" .  ZZ Top had started the night out right, with hard rockers like Just Got Paid and Sharp Dressed Man, and Billy Gibbons joined in the Skynyrd lineup to add more snazz and boogie to an already spectacular musical event.  What a show!  5 stars out of 5.
