I got to see the Everglades National Park when I lived in Naples, Florida. Florida will always be a second home to me. I miss it a lot. 😎💖

Deland is also home of the Stetson Mansion "The House that Hats Built", restored and owned by JT Thomas & Michael Solari. The have many awards from the State, County & City of Deland. This house is a must mention with the Christmas months long display through out the house. Please look into this as the house the history and beauty of the house is amazing.

I love your videos. Always very professional. I know you have put in coordinations, but a wee florida map and a dot wherevthe things are would help greatly. I'm doing a roadtrip Melbourne, Port dt Lucie (to see a triend), Ormond beach, Amelia Island/Fernandina beach, Hilton head island then further into GA SC NC VA. Your channels been a great help. Keep up the good work. Greetings from Scotland. 👍🇺🇸🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

Wow I can't believe Mount Dora isn't on your list! They do Christmas better than anywhere else in Florida, and it's like Mayberry.

I lived on the north end of Anna Maria Island for about 11 years. I recall what a big deal it was when the small Publix opened in Holmes Beach. It was old Florida then, and hopefully it still is.😎👍

I'd have added Inverness to your list. It's the poster-child for old Florida towns, made famous for the Elvis Presley movie "Follow that Dream".

Loved the video and I am glad I watched to the end. I have been trying to figure out where you live - based on where you visit.

I would throw Mt Dora and Sanford onto this list. Feel very fortunate I can easily get to those two along with Deland and NSB.

[PrimeTimeTravelers]

Great video! We've been to several of these and we agree!

Also, what about Palatka, Sebring or Lakeland?

Did you visit the Charles Dummet grave in the middle of the road of a residential neighborhood? It’s a very nice hidden gem and history!

We love your videos and always turn to them when planning day trips. It would be really helpful to include the cities on a map at the beginning of each story instead of longitude and latitude.

Mount Dora has been paved over. They ruined it.

A lot of those aren't "small towns" so you missed a lot of good ones!
