I’ve been lucky enough to have travelled extensively in my life. However, one of the places that I haven’t spent much time is Florida. I mean, sure. I’ve spent a weekend or two in Miami, enjoying the unique culture and the amazing Art Deco architecture. Oh, and the nightlife. You definitely can’t forget the nightlife of South Beach.
When I was in High School, we took a family trip to Orlando. One guess why, right? Of course it was for a trip to Disneyworld and a trip to the other Disney family of amusement parks. This was about a year or so before they opened the Wild Kingdom Animal Park, so we missed out on visiting that. I’d love to go back for a trip to see it.
I’ve also been to Tampa a couple times for quick business trips. There wasn’t much to remember from those jaunts, but I didn’t get out much either.
Being a major history buff, I would love to spend some time in St Augustine. Everything I’ve heard about the town is that it’s a great romantic escape. It’s the oldest continuously occupied European settlement in the 48 states. I think that would make a fantastic 3 or 4 day weekend.
I’ve also kind of always wanted to go on one of those everglades tours in the airboats. I don’t know if they still do those, but I think it would be kind of fun. Don’t you? I mean as long as we didn’t get eaten by alligators or have the boat flip over or anything.
