well, when I was in jacksonville, I thought it was perfect. It was right around this time of the year… high 70’s for the low… probably mid 80’s-90 during the day. Not sure about hotels as we got a nice discount on ours though. I personally liked the drive aswell. Took around 14 hours… so figure approx 30 hours total driving time ---

If you go to Florida, Fly don’t drive. If you drive you’ll be tired & exhausted.Flying You’ll be rested and refreshed. Where to go? I’d go to Miami so much is happen there(close to Ft.Lauderdale, Homstead,Coconut Grove & Key west).There’s always something going on . As in Orlando&Tampa the scene is slow and not always happen every night. ( How I know? I’ve lived in Florida for 6yrs.) ---

If you do go to Orlando, make sure to check out Jelly Rolls. It is a bar in Epcot on the Disney Boardwalk. It is a piano bar where two guys play requests all night long. Great time and Tuesday is cast night so all the hotties are there. Snow White, Cinderella, Minnie, def worth checking out. ---
