Synopsis

Sun Hunting is a sharp, funny look at American time-killers chasing winter sun from Miami to Palm Beach in the Florida of old.

This travelogue traces the quirky world of tin-can tourists, portable bungalows, and rambling road trips that turn travel into a hobby. It sketches colorful characters, from the hard-boiled bachelor with a compact camping outfit to the sailing social crowds of the big resorts, all set against sunlit Florida shores.

Across Florida’s towns and seasides, the narrative mixes humor with salty observations about life on the road, the pace of winter getaways, and the tastes of a resort culture still finding its feet. It offers glimpses of Everglades journeys, tropical scenery, and the peculiar economics of travel in a sun-soaked paradise.

  • Meet the tin-can tourists and their inventive, compact setups.
  • See how budget travel contrasts with high-life resort costs.
  • Explore Florida’s bootlegger culture and lively coastal scenes.
  • Experience the magazine‑style snapshot of fishing, beaches, and tropical life.

Ideal for readers who enjoy travel writing with wit, vivid Florida color, and a taste of early 20th‑century island life.
