Majical Miniatures, a 501c3 not for profit animal care and education center, is a place where second chances begin and magic and miracles are a way of life! Animals arrive at Majical Miniatures for many reasons and in all kinds of conditions. Injured, orphaned, neglected or just unwanted exotic, farm & wild animals are taken in and treated. Their bodies heal with the best care we can give them, but as important, their will & spirit heal as they learn to trust the love & respect that surrounds them. Majical Miniatures is not open to the public but is always in need of volunteers. They are located at 16502 Golf Course Rd. Parrish, Fl 34219.

Your Travel & Cruise Concierge can eliminate hassle and save money when planning a cruise. Finding the ideal ship for your next cruise is similar to finding the perfect love match. There are a multitude of options, and without help, you can make mistakes that lead of lots of frustration and wasted time. This is a key reason why working with a travel agent who is experienced in the art of cruising is a wise decision. And it is why Susan Leonidas created Your Travel & Cruise Concierge, LLC in 2011. Leonidas and her husband, Cary (who is a veteran flight attendant) took their first cruise in 2008 and have been immersed in the cruising culture since. They have been on every class of ship and have toured with all the primary cruise lines, so Leonidas became a self-made expert on planning a smooth and pleasant cruise vacation through extensive personal experience.
