  7. Birders ready to flock to Titusville

    When it comes to bird-watching, or sighting other critters in the wild, I'm often reduced to acting like that annoying guy in the movie theater <strong> </strong>who doesn't understand what just happened in a big-budget spy thriller.

  8. Shuttle gone, Brevard hopes eco-tourism launches new era

  10. Florida Cruise Homeport Spotlight: Port Canaveral

    Established in 1953, this deep-water port on the Atlantic coast of Central Florida, less than an hour's drive from Orlando (about 54 miles from Orlando International Airport), offers a variety of cruises to the Bahamas and the Caribbean including three-, four- five- and seven-day itineraries. Primarily a turnaround facility (as opposed to a port of call), Port Canaveral serves as homeport for ships from such lines as Carnival, Disney (no surprise there, given the port's proximity to Walt Disney World) and Royal Caribbean. And the port is apparently confident of its future: In fall of 2010, Port Canaveral inked $42 million financing for expansion, including a new cruise terminal scheduled to open in summer of 2012 and slated to be added to its six existing ones.
