Deering Bay – Relaxed, Luxurious, Country Club Living
Beautiful Views
I feel like Deering Bay has been forgotten among all of the hoopla regarding bargains on Brickell, Biscayne, and the Beach. I know there have been and still are some great deals in these urban areas, but if you are looking for a little more relaxed pace, take a look at the condominiums and villas in the various buildings in the Deering Bay Yacht and Country Club community. These are spacious units, most with water views, and are surrounded by an Arnold Palmer Signature golf course. Located in the southern part of Coral Gables, it is one of the best public and private school districts in Miami-Dade county and is close to both the Falls and Dadeland Malls. If you would rather live in a single family home, Deering Bay has those too. They also have a small boat marina as well as one for large yachts, tennis courts, pools, gyms and a restaurant with a Sunday Brunch that is delicious!
Bimini Bay Just A Short Flight Away
Kalik & Blue Waters
One of the things I love about South Florida is how easy it is to fly to other places. A couple of weekends ago, some friends invited my husband and me to Bimini Bay for a long weekend. It took me longer to drive from the office to Tamiami airport than the 23 minute flight on LuxAir Charters from Tamiami to Bimini!
The crystal clear blue water, local hospitality, laid back atmosphere and Kalik beer made a three day weekend feel like a weeklong vacation.
Boca Chita Lighthouse – Where’s JWo Answer
What do wealth, power, death, and an elephant have in common? They comprise part of the colorful history of Boca Chita Key, where the Boca Chita Lighthouse is located. Although not a true lighthouse, it is the most popular structure on the small island. It was built by Mark Honeywell, the founder of Honeywell, Inc. and a previous owner of this once private island. Now owned by the U.S. National Parks Service this island in Biscayne Bay is a popular spot with boaters.

Preparing for a Hurricane – A Way of Life in South Florida
If you recently moved from outside of a hurricane zone, you are in for some excitement and new lessons from Mother Nature. Hurricane season officially starts June 1 and storms can approach rapidly, so it pays to inform yourself on what you need to do now to be ready when a storm approaches. The good thing about a hurricane, compared to other natural occurrences such as earthquakes and tornadoes, is that you did get warning and have time to safeguard yourself, your property, pets, and family. Believe me, having lived through several, it pays to be prepared!
This year, Hurricane Preparedness Week will be held May 24 through May 30. NOAA’s National Hurricane Center, conveniently located in South Florida, has a comprehensive hurricane plan.
Even though you may remember the pictures of Louisiana after Katrina, take the time to watch the video below to see the damage a storm is capable of. Hurricane Wilma came toward the end of the season and still managed to do quite a bit of damage to South Florida
