How to take the ultimate Florida road trip

Texas, the second-largest state in the USA, is a sprawling land where remote mountains, kitschy towns, and ginormous metroplexes are connected by a vast system of highways, railways and air routes.

It’s the classic coin flip of a great beach vacation: Do you prefer to swim in the ocean or a pool? Thankfully, some resorts in Europe or Australia don’t require such a choice because they offer natural swimming pools replenished with fresh seawater. Now the first natural swimming pool has opened in the Caribbean. Wymara Resort + Villas on Grace Bay Beach in Turks and Caicos features a 3,900-square-foot-pool on Sunset Cove. The ocean pool is part of the property’s Villa Beach Club and is accessible for all villa guests and available to all resort guests for a small fee.

Each of these seaside towns offers something unique with various attractions, dining, accommodations, outdoor activities, and of course the sandy beaches. They are all excellent choices for an end of summer road trip adventure.

Inspired to live life more fully following the death of a friend, New Jersey native Tom Turcich, set himself a goal to see and experience the world on foot.

Formula One driver Valtteri Bottas challenged me to a gravel race last year in Steamboat Springs, Colorado. Okay, it wasn’t a direct challenge. But I knew the Alfa Romeo driver would be competing in the 2022 STB GRVL event. Ergo, if I signed up for the same race distance, we’d compete against one another. Obviously, I had no choice but to accept his challenge and to ultimately crush the Finnish driver’s spirits on the 60-mile Red Course.
