From the Author:
I love day trips and was very surprised to find that there were no books specifically gathering together information on places to visit within a short drive of The Villages community in Central Florida. With that in mind, I set about documenting places I discovered or were recommended to me. Here are my favorites, complete with photographs and detailed directions including GPS co-ordinates, what to do, when to go and where to eat. Enjoy visiting estate homes, botanical gardens,  wineries, natural springs, old towns and state parks on this feast of days out in Central Florida. I hope you find as much enjoyment as I did in visiting them all!
From the Inside Flap:

Living in The Villages, we are surrounded by some amazing natural attractions, historic homes and exotic tropical gardens. Central Florida is stunning in its diversity and humbling in its natural beauty. Those looking for ideas on places to visit and great days out will find this book an informative resource and an inspiration to see more of the local attractions which are just a short drive away.

From viewing nature "in the raw" on an exciting airboat safari on the Ocklawaha River to the magnificent carillon concerts in the gardens surrounding Bok Tower, there is something to thrill every reader, whether you are a keen walker, amateur gardener, history lover or wine connoisseur. 

This book highlights some of my favorite days out in Central Florida and I have visited them all, some quite frequently, as an ordinary visitor. Each destination has an informative introduction, clear directions on how to get there, things to do, admission costs and tips on the best times to visit. Every great day out should include a pleasant watering hole, so I have also included some suggested places to eat, which I hasten to add, did not in any way solicit my business. Finally, I have combined each trip with other neighboring attractions which can be included, to extend your day out in Central Florida if you wish. 

Planning days out from The Villages with this book is like traveling with a knowledgeable and local friend, with advice and tips enabling you to get the very most enjoyment from your home in Central Florida. It is an ideal resource to turn to for inspiration the next time you have visitors and want to show off the beautiful location in which you live. Whether you are traveling alone, as a family or with friends and neighbors, you will be surprised at what is on your doorstep when you live in The Villages.
 
Happy trails!
