I am contemplating a Florida vacation on the 1st week of March. What do you Floridians think the high points of Florida are besides the normal tourist stuff.

Should try to catch a shuttle launch.

I don't live there, but go about every year. Been to West Palm, Daytona, Orlando, Miami, Panama City, Tampa, and all ports in between. Something good about all of them, but Miami is much too crowded and nobody speaks English. Going to  Ft. Lauderdale again in April if nothing happens. Just depends on what you like, but as Arcs said, a shuttle launch would be awsome.

Funny you should say that OnTrack...I'm headed there for 10 days...middle of Feb. I'm from FL...grew up in Daytona...worked in Orlando and traveled a lot to the west coast (and Miami)...It's a pretty state...I'd avoid Miami too...but if you're into to "night life" it can be fun...The Keys are something special...if even just to say you went to the southern most point in the US...PM me if you want more info on some kool places to go...and I'm sure the Florida contingent will chime in...:)

Hey Car54...I meant to direct that last post to you...but OnTrack you can PM me if you want...sorry to be a posting idiot!! I read OnTracks and lost my noodle for a minute!! (Not unusual):)

LQ, I do like the nightlife, but not as much as I get older. It seems like Miami's nightlife doesn't start hoppin until I've already been to bed and ready to get back up to greet the morning. I haven't made it to the Keys yet. We were plannning to go year before last but ended up going to Cancun instead.

Everyone is right about avoiding Miami. That is unless you are hispanic or can at least speak spanish. LOL

Mike, I'll be 47 this year and it gets harder to do every year, no matter how much I practice. The alcohol poisoning catches me after about the third day, so there is usually a day in there where I lay around and moan and promise never to drink again. Then I get up the next morning and...well, I'd say you can guess the rest of the story. ;)

TT, I haven't "reseen" food in over 20 years (unless it was the flu or a virus). I like to think of myself as a professional...my wife likes to think of me as an alcoholic.
