State # 16: Florida

Circa 1999 (This picture taken in the late 2000's but the face I make about going to Florida is the same) The first time I ever made it to Florida was freshman year of college, and I’ve since been back more times than I can count. I know the best Thai, Indian and Vietnamese restaurants in Orlando, have spent at least one night in every major city, and am a regular at the Panera Bread in Clermont. However, I have still never been to Disneyworld. [gallery=33]

A Week Down South

I guess it officially took two weeks for this whole swine flu thing to blow over. I was really hoping it would last a bit longer, cause I have gotten a lot of mileage out of it terms of story angles. Of course, when you are traveling to the one state where someone has actually died from the virus, it's sort of a nobrainer, right? I ended up in Dallas, TX, even though the event I was planning on attending had been canceled due to fear of the Swine Flu. Since the ticket was already bought (and it would cost more to change it than rent a car) I figured…

All Work and No Play

The first night I arrived in lovely Orlando, Florida (Whether you are returning home, here on business, or visiting our world class attractions...) I went straight from the airport to BBQ Bar. Back before I developed my abhorrence towards bars and "going out" I really liked BBQ bar. It reminded me of college, and they always played good music. Now I just go there once per trip to Florida because I feel like a should. But as I was standing outside in the suffocating Orlando humidity, Yueng-Ling in my hand and surrounded with old friends I proclaimed that I wasn't going to work so hard this trip. I was going…

Greetings from Florida!

In the midst of my first trip to Florida of the year. It happens to be for the kick off of the wakeskate tour. About this time of year I realize how pasty Portland makes my skin and feel self concious, but what can you do? I am down here to cover the event and promote the new site. Basically, I am killing it with real time results (thanks Jared!) and daily videos. It's hard to write, film and shoot so i've been delegating like crazy. I wrote a blog, but other than that, I've had help with the daily stories (day 1, day 2). I shoot some of the…
