 cegrmr Ryan Rodriguez Post Count: 47 Msg: #1 47 days ago, July 21st 2008 | Hey guys, | I have been surfing around different forums and chat-rooms trying to find things to do in Florida when my girlfriend and I go in September. We were given a free trip happening between the 8th through the 17th. Any suggestions on places to go and things to do? So far, we have Disney world, a 2 day cruise to the Caribbean, and that's it. Let us know. Thanks guys. Oh yeah... when does hurricane season wind down? Thanks, Ryan M.

Swar... I'm taking your word for it. The keys are going on my itinerary | I'll let you know how it goes.

Florida too is vulnerable: on the Gulf Coast, on the eastern Atlantic coast, in the Keys in the south; even tourist powerhouse Orlando -- in the middle of the state-- gets an occasional blast. | Even if your holiday isn't actually in the path of a major storm, weather patterns are disrupted in a wide radius, and some days may be spoiled by rain and wind if you're in an affected area. Still, hurricane season is a tempting time to travel: it spans the two top months when kids are out of school; also -- and not surprisingly!-- very tempting discounts are offered at Caribbean resorts during the hurricane season months.

It is the nations oldest city. There is plenty to do sightseeing, shopping,boat rides, and plenty of wonderful beaches. If you like history and sightseeing then you will enjoy a visit to St. Augustine. | jh2008 James Holmeson Post Count: 6 Msg: #6 36 days ago, August 2nd 2008 | <snip> | Aside from that, check out Downtown Disney and even venture into Orlando itself - Winter Park is a really nice suburb on the outskirts of town with plenty of restaurants, boutiques, etc. 'Gatorland' is also fun - a real look into old-Florida, before Disney moved in.
