What should i prepare to do in Florida? Are there any fabulous places?

Ummm......Florida is a large state with varying environments. It would help if you told us your interests and where you plan to stay.

Swamps, alligators, beaches, surfing, big vibrant cities with night life, old forts, great restaurants of all kinds and flavors, ice cream shops, elegant old hotels, cheap Mom and Pop vintage motels, islands including Florida Keys, Disney World. All fabulous - or not. Depends on your interests.

Major Gay scenes, significant right wing religious fundamentalist presence; multiple Hispanic cultures with different kinds of food; ditto Caribbean non-Hispanic; ditto regional US differences projected on sub-tropical peninsula; game fishing, inshore and deep sea; panthers, wild hogs, four kinds of poisonous snakes (indigenous) plus pythons and anacondas that have gone native. Iguanas and six foot monitor lizards. Adorable dolphins, deadly barracudas and sharks. Fabulous wealth near people living in windowless shacks. A culture of churchgoing next to massive drug use and drug manufacturing and smuggling. You can live your entire life in peaceful comfort or be stabbed on the street for your watch.

It is the best of places and the worst of places.

No, it is a boring place. No one goes there. C'mon, give us a clue.

Ackislander, Geeze, I had forgotten about some of that stuff. Very funny, but all absolutely true! Makes me wonder why anyone would ever go there. Yet, we/they do.

Lots to do unless you are from New York. Yeah it is definitely an inside joke around here and we are delighted they have stopped trying to smuggle those cigarettes back up north, too.

There's a lot of truth to the saying "Florida is Gods waiting room".

I come here for pithy stuff like that.

Ricky,

The unwritten rule here (and on most travel forums) is to do some very basic research before posting a question. Specific questions help us to help you better
