AmericanPressTravelNews-May 10th,–Bob and Barb “On The Road Again” this time in Anderson County-Clinton, Oak Ridge, & Rocky Top, TN.-we dropped our bags and tooth brush at a fabulous condo apartment (which is also on sale now) provided by “Vacations on the Water” in Clinton, TN. Three large bedrooms, two full baths and showers, one with Jacuzzi Tub that we thoroughly enjoyed and relaxed in after a hard day of fishing, museum cruising (more details in next postings), dining and learning all about this Appalachian historical area. Below the condo there is a marina store next door, down the shore a bit, with all manner of boaters and anglers needs and even a weekend restaurant! We went fishing, visited The Museum of the Appalachia for an article for New Pioneer Magazine, and spent quite a bit of terrific times at Oak Ridge, now designated as a National Park.

The condo unit (with an elevator for convenience) would easily accommodate more than one couple or family and would be an extremely reasonably priced vacation rental. The one we stayed at in perfect condition with totally modern everything, is for sale now.

APressTravelNews-Feb 25th,-Bob and “Barb On The Road Again” & “Stopping to Smell the Roses” in Port Charlotte, at the Wyvern Hotel. Barb and I love great dishes, great ice cream, great views, friendly, hospitable folks and the feeling that your always on vacation. No kidding, Port Charlotte and Punta Gorda are such places. We came into town to work on our assigned article from New Pioneer Magazine. The article is about the Worden Farms Agri-Business and 3-Suns Bison Ranch, as the side-bar. While in Punta Gorda we visited with our friends Janis and her husband and Jack Montague. We tried to get some daylight between our short time we had in the area, so we could also visit the great Van Hubbard. Just couldn’t do it! We were scheduled to visit the solar powered new town of Babcock Ranch. We did and were mightily impressed. A gorgeous planned community that will have everything any fine town or village has, but with one giant unique feature: Totally sun-powered electricity! Not open to public yet, there is a school, lake-front restaurant, homes lakes, boardwalks, bike paths, sports store, gift shop, ice cream shop, etc. Grand opening will be next November we were told. There will be a show and tell on the ranch March 12th.

**Oh, love that hot fudge on Pistachio Ice Cream with a cherry on top!**

**The Worden’s! PH.D’s in Agriculture, they are helping provide healthy, delicious veggies and herbs, sunflowers and a whole lot more in Punta Gorda.**

**Great Bison meat available at 3-Suns!**

The best ice cream we ever had was just across the parking lot from the Wyvern. Walk around the waterfront marina and enjoy at this great mom and pop ice cream shop, the Harbor Walk Scoops& Bites!

Wahoo’s At Whale Harbor Marina “Rocks” With Great Foods and Bar-Friendliness

*The Charter Boat Fleet at Whale Harbor! Note the wooden slats upper right. The great bar and grill of Wahoo’s is housed there!*

AmericanPresstravelNews-Jan.16th, Bob and Barb “On The Road Again” at Whale Harbor Marina (home of the best fishing fleet in the Keys) and Wahoo’s Bar and Grill. When we visit a restaurant, lounge, bar and grill, cafe, we ask for one thing: are their offerings consistently good, at least good! Well, happily we have found over a period of times that Wahoo’s fare is better than “good” its actually “great!” WE went for a surf and turf last night, a hot grilled Mahi (dolphin fish) over a melange of fresh fruits including mango, honey dew, cantaloupe, grapes, berries-never had fish this way and it was outstandingly deightful and also we felt we were eating great, but also very healthy (no sugary dressings necessary). When we saw Surf and Turf with Churasco Steak on the menu, we opted for this as our second entree’. The Florida lobster tail was big enough to share and it tasted terrific. I am very fussy about my “tail” it’s got to be firm, tasty and with all the right flavors. The steak was grilled medium with a crisp edge-WOW! So with our cool Key Lime Pina Colada was special with graham cracker edged glass instead of salt or sugar. Then it was time for dessert. Jody the very nice Director of food and drink recommended Key Lime Pie there way! So we dug into a portion of this iconic Keys offering. He was right, excellent pie and authentic. Whale Harbor is located at 83413 Overseas Hwy. Islamorada FL. 33036 (305)-664-9888 www.wahoosbarandgrill.com
