Tell me "what not to miss" while I am in FL for the next 4 weeks...

U.S.A. Florida

Published

I'll be driving all over the state for the next 4 weeks, from jacksonville to miami to key west to tampa and pensacola and all points in between....tell me the best sights/restaurants/bargains / in your locale..... Please !

The boat ride over to Cayo Costa is about 1/2 hour. You'll see the jumping dolphins (this is the area where the original Flipper from the tv series was caught) The boat leaves around every hour to and from the island. Bring sunscreen and something to carry shells back in, like a sack. Traveling thru the glades is not a big problem with security. Its just a road. If you mean problems with gators getting you, dont worry even if you flew off the road into the water they would probably be scared and swim away. Old 41 is a nice comfortable drive with little old towns and even the nations smallest post office at Ochoppee, while alligator alley is a straight line highway and can get pretty boring after the first 1/2 hour.

Thanks so much ! I researched Cayo Coasta and I think we will sacrifice Busch Gardens to take that trip....either way, whether we sacrifice Busch or not, (we determined from the outset Disney world was OUT !)

Thanks for the tips....I was concerned re: securrity....re: where I am from, if you have a flat or engine trouble, hoodlum predators are more likely to find you and rob/kill/ you before the tow truck has time to arrive.

Anyway, route 41 and cayo coasta are a go !!

I will write you all back on this thread in July and tell you what I saw !

If you break down dont worry. There are plenty of nice people around to help you out. No ones going to leave someone stranded on the road with kids.
