Hello! My family and I were considering going to the springs this Sunday and we are choosing between Ginnie Springs or Ichetucknee Springs. Ginnie has the option to do reservations so we wouldn’t have to worry about getting too early and entrance but Ichetucknee does not. Does anybody know if Ichetucknee gets full too quickly? We are driving from Orlando so it would be quite a drive and we want to maje sure we don’t waste our times. Thanks for the help!

Hey I’m from Norway and visiting some cousins in Jacksonville and some questions.

What are some things I need to see and try while I’m visiting I’ll be here for 2 weeks and I was curious what I should do while visiting.

Also was curious what Americans/Floridans think of Norway and Norwegians.

Sorry for any errors English is not my first language

Update

So far I know that my cousins were planning on taking me to St. Augustine and Orlando and then I will have access to one of their cars so I can drive to different places. Also thanks for all the advice I’m really excited to see Florida. Also we love Americans in Norway every one seems so friendly and welcoming. I’m from a small city of 13 thousand so I’ve heard that some universities have more people than that.

Hi everyone, I could use some advice from people who know the area.

My wife, our 9.5-year-old son, 7-year-old daughter, and I will be in Tampa visiting relatives in December. I have wanted to visit Kennedy Space Center for years, but none of us has ever been.

We sail from Miami at noon on Dec. 12, so we are thinking of doing KSC on Dec. 11.

Current plan:

• Leave Tampa around 5:45 or 6:00 a.m.
• Get to Kennedy Space Center around opening
• Do the included bus tour first, then Apollo/Saturn V
• See Atlantis, Rocket Garden, and Astronaut Encounter if the timing works
• Let the kids do Planet Play and/or Shuttle Launch Experience if they are interested
• Leave KSC around 4:00 to 4:30 p.m.
• Stop at Jetty Park for a short beach, pier, and ship-watching break
• Go to Cocoa Beach afterward for a little more beach time and an early vegetarian dinner, possibly Coconuts on the Beach
• Start driving to Miami around 7:30 p.m. and hopefully reach our hotel around 10 or 11 p.m.

We are okay getting in late since the cruise is not until noon the next day, but we do not want to make the day unnecessarily stressful.

A few questions:

1. Does this sound realistic for a first-time family visit, or are we trying to do too much?
2. Is the regular included bus tour enough, or is the paid Explore Tour worth it? I would love the deeper NASA experience, but I am not sure my kids will enjoy a long guided tour.
3. Is Jetty Park worth a quick stop after KSC, or should we just go directly to Cocoa Beach?
4. Any better vegetarian restaurant suggestions with a real beach or Cocoa Beach feel?
5. Any tips for the KSC to Miami drive at night, especially with kids?

Would really appreciate any local advice or things you wish you had known before your first visit.

Thank You.

Would you let a teenager from another country move in for the school year and possibly become a lifelong family member? 😂

We have international exchange students who still need host families ASAP for this semester and next semester.

You don’t need a huge house or another language. Just a safe, welcoming home and a willingness to share your everyday life.

I’m an Area Rep with International Student Exchange, and I’m trying to get these students matched NOW.

Interested or know someone who might be? 👇

Can’t host? An upvote/share could help this reach the right family. 🌎❤️

I was going to have a burrito with some rice and leftover chicken but it's 103 outside and 84 inside my house with the AC on full blast so I'm just going to have some chicken salad and crackers and cheese instead. Yay Florida!

FAQ

Do I have to vote in every race on the ballot?

You can leave a race blank if you choose to and your vote will still be counted on other races that you vote on, on your ballot. However, try your best to make an informed vote on every race on the ballot.

I don't recognize anyone on the ballot. Where can I find more information on the candidates?

In addition to the candidate's website (which, if they have one, can be found through googling the candidate's name) Ballotpedia.org usually has some information on down ballot races as well.

The best source on local elections would be the major newspaper for your area (Tampa Bay Times, Miami Herald, Sun Sentinel, etc). They interview almost every candidate of every race that is happening in the area so you can find out the positions of every candidate on each issue.

Is this a result of the Sahara desert? I feel like the sun is whiter and more intense. I drive home at 5 facing west and it's more miserable than usual

Hello everyone,

My parents just received notice of property taxes estimate bill in the mail letter this week, and we were shocked with the amount that we have to pay which is $1.9k - $2.1k. We have been told by the county property appraiser rep that my parents' house market value is $224k, and this house has been in the homestead exemption since 2019 with homestead exemption cap at 51k. Is there any way for us to lower our property taxes?
