Are you planning a trip to Florida and looking to do something other than Disney? Have you been to Universal Studios in Orlando before? Universal Studios and Islands of Adventure are next door to each other and connected by The Hogwarts Express, they are two of our favourite parks in Orlando. We feel that Universal has something […]
I’ve said before that one of our favourite things to do when in Florida is take a ride on an airboat. It’s such an amazing experience, it really stuck in our memory from our last trip to Florida, so we were keen to try it again. This time we went on a couple of different airboats, one […]
