Business Travelers Head to NW Florida Bed and Breakfasts

Thursday, June 24th, 2010
A quiet place...

Work in a quiet place, at NW Florida bed and breakfasts.

Northwest Florida bed and breakfasts are well equipped to meet the needs of business travelers, and welcome them to the area.

Business travel affords a great opportunity to explore the area visited. Since time is limited when you travel for business, every minute counts. Instead of suffering through rehydrated eggs and microwaved muffins at the breakfast buffet in the corporate hotel, enjoy a sumptuous breakfast of handmade biscuits, fresh fruits and fresh off the skillet eggs. Return to your NW Florida bed and breakfast after a hard day and unwind over wine and cheese in the parlor, chatting with the innkeepers and other guests. Get honest recommendations for the best places to dine in the area, not a list of fast food restaurants.

Many NW Florida bed and breakfasts offer high-speed, wireless internet. Many have printing, copying and fax services available. All innkeepers will go out of their way to help meet your business needs.

Heavenly High Springs

Cool off tubing near High Springs in Northeast Florida.

High Springs is in Northeast Florida, midway between Gainesville and Lake City. Time spent in High Springs bed and breakfasts would do anyone good; the town is peaceful, the land around it stunningly beautiful, and the people friendly.

Visit River Rise Preserve State Park, just out of town. The Santa Fe River re-emerges here in a quiet, circular pool after a brief hiatus underground. This is an ideal place to escape summer heat – the trees are huge and the shade is deep. Anglers, spend a day fishing the Santa Fe River here. Hikers, choose from over 20 miles of trails. Birdwatchers, bring your binoculars.

A bit farther from town is Ichetucknee Springs State Park, where the Ichetucknee River passes through wetlands and shaded hammocks before joining the Santa Fe River. At this time of year, you’ll want to stop outside the park and rent tubes and snorkeling equipment, for tubing is extremely popular and fun. Come on – live a little! (more…)

Central Florida Wineries

Thursday, June 3rd, 2010

Spanish settlers who first came to the Florida region were struck by the abundance of wild grapes. It seemed to them that this place must be perfect for cultivating wine. Word spread, and more settlers came from Spain and France, with the intention of making wine. They were successful, and the first wine was consumed in 1565.

Today there are only a handful of Florida wineries throughout the state. It can be hard to find these wines, but trust me, they are worth seeking. Most Florida wines include some of the native grapes that first enticed the French and Spanish settlers to produce wines in the first place, such as the Muscadine, Noble and Scuppernong. Ask the innkeepers at your bed and breakfast Central East Florida if they have ever tasted Florida wine. (more…)
