Most people assume they have to travel to Hollywood - or at least Universal Studios Orlando - to get a glimpse of the movie star lifestyle. What many in Pasco don't realize is that we have a little bit of star dust right here at home and it can be found along the banks of the Pithlachascotee River, which winds through historic downtown New Port Richey.In the early 1920s, celebrities like Shirley Temple, Greta Garbo and Charlie Chaplin came to Florida for the great weather and glamorous parties in places like New Port Richey's Hacienda Hotel. A few even built homes here and one of the best ways to see those homes is aboard the Miss Daisy II, the 49-passenger pontoon boat that docks at the Seaside Inn Restaurant off U.S. 19 in Port Richey.
The two-hour river tour takes visitors past homes once owned by silent film stars such as Thomas Meighan and Gloria Swanson. Baseball great Babe Ruth had a spring training 
residence here, as did Shirley Temple, whose $1.7-million Spanish-style home is pictured at left. June Carter Cash spent her winters at a home on the Gulf of Mexico in Pasco. The Miss Daisy's Capt. Ray Kelly will even show passengers his copy of an old black-and-white photo of Johnny & June Carter Cash enjoying a fishing trip at one of the stilt homes still standing today.

The Miss Daisy is a great way to see the riverfront and tiny islands that dot the Pasco coast, including Durney Key, a popular spot to camp, dig for shells, picnic and sunbathe. You can 
grab a great lunch at a number of riverfront restaurants, including the Crab Shack, Fatty 'n Mabel's, Hooters or Catches Seafood. The Miss Daisy is available for private groups, special events and sunset cruises. Reservations are strongly recommended. Adults are $19; children are $12. Discounts are offered for groups of 26 or more. For more information, visit http://www.missdaisyboattours.com/ or call 727-819-1754.

I've ever liked things like sand clocks, lava lamps, and the like to kind of rightful dish out time staring at it as a formality of catharsis. In a route, it helps me with meditation, to free stress and strain and just think fro nothing. That's why since I was a kid, a substitute alternatively of dolls and cars I've always sedate more of such pieces like sand clocks, lava lamps, harmonious boxes etc. So I was most charmed when I base the[url=http://www.dealtoworld.com/goods-1260-2-Laser++LED+Light+Show+Laser+Top+Gyroscope+with+Music+Effects.html] 2-Laser + LED Inconsiderable Show Laser Outstrip Gyroscope with Music Effects[/url] from DealtoWorld.com under the aegis the Toys section. It's like a melodic thump, a spinning exceed, and a light show all rolled into one. Which is capacious relaxation! The gyroscope will spin after round a minute. The laser slight pretension with accompanying music makes this gyroscope a very incomparable bauble that my friends have also been most amused with.
My dogs are also pretty eccentric prevalent the laser gyroscope I got from DealtoWorld.com. They evermore follow the gyroscope as it spins, although at first place they kept barking at the laser insight boast, and also because it produces music. But after they got used it, they've stopped barking but due watch over following the gyroscope whenever I start spinning it. Kids are also bonny amused next to it. Sometimes it's meet to take fun toys around the lineage so that you can desert the toy on while the kids are being amused or playing with it while you go get up viands or fall heir to changed. The gyroscope is a particular such toy with this purpose.
The gyroscope I bought from DealtoWorld.com has a dragon as a map on it, and produces a dainty indicate with red, blue, and unripened colours. Pit oneself against a look at the pictures I've uploaded of the gyroscope with laser light show. The music produced from the gyroscope is not that expert but allowable sufficiency to entertain any new roomer to the house. The gyroscope is red and raven, making it look particular coolth, and slightly macho with that dragon imprint.
The music dismount attack plain gyroscope runs on 6 LR44 batteries, which are replaceable anyway. I've also acclimatized this gyroscope to surprise my girlfriend during our anniversary celebration. I did the cheesy terror of decorating the hotel cell with roses and when I led her in, I started up the gyroscope as correctly so that the laser torchlight register produces a romantic effect. I also had some battery operated candles so all the sunrise effects created a rather mawkish atmosphere. She loved it, not later than the going, to my relief. I also bought the candles from DealtoWorld.com. These days it seems to be my non-fulfilment shopping placement for all gifts and ideas in compensation romanticist occasions.
Since Christmas is coming, this laser light playing gyroscope can perhaps be a superb Christmas contribution for the toddler or in spite of the favoured! Alternatively, the gyroscope can really be a nice summation to the established Christmas decorations. I can fancy placing it adjoining the Christmas tree and perchance spinning it when guests hit town in the house. Looks like [url=http://www.dealtoworld.com]DealtoWorld.com[/url] is getting my subject yet again!
