The Florida Adventures, 2022 Edition (My Christmas Present to all Floridians)
Welcome to the 2022 edition of my gigantic complete list of restaurants and Florida-located experiences that I have whether personally enjoyed and want others to visit, or have been recommended to be over the years by family, friends, co-workers, guests in the theme parks, or sometimes even complete random strangers. Also through the Instagram I’ve been able to locate other spots frequented by people I follow and trust, so they’ve also made the list. It consists primarily of restaurants, but I also threw in some parks, beaches, and other places of interest within the confides of the Sunshine State.
The very reason for this is because in this wild cruel world we’re living in during the (HOPEFULLY) latter stages of the pandemic, we are seeing a fractured country, and a world of politics that might be beyond repair. We’re on our own folks, it simply appears that those in power just aren’t going to help us in ways we deserve to be helped. To me my faith in American politics is at the absolute minimum starting when GIllium lost in 2018 and in 2020 during a global pandemic we ended up having to choose between an old man way beyond his capabilities and an orange white supremacist aspiring dictator.
So, my contribution to keeping the economy of the city and state I live in as vibrant as ever IN SPITE of MAGAism poisoning the sunshine is to make sure we spend local, experience local, and recommend local to others.
Now, a few key points.
If a Florida place you like isn’t on the list, don’t consider it a snub but more than likely a place I’ve never heard of. Every spot I have indeed visited will be marked on the list, and those I -especially- like will also be noted, so there will be noted options for those that trust -my- tastes and preferences. Of course, all the other recommendations will be mixed bags since I am relying on the tastes of other people, so not all of these will be guaranteed hits. But, everyone deserves at least a chance, every spot deserves the opportunity to earn your money and impress you. That being said, if the politics are off and I find out they are despicable people or engaged in despicable behavior, they’ll be removed from the list for next year.
If you have recommendations not on this list, let me know, and after brief vetting they’ll make the list next year. If you have any warnings about the spots already on the list, let me know and I’ll dig more into it as well. Otherwise, enjoy, and may 2022 be full of wonderful experiences and memories with friends and loved ones. Take care, please be safe, and remember to always shop and dine local as much as possible.
