Romantic Florida Vacations

Thursday, July 30th, 2009
Gary Giardina asked:


Flanked by the Gulf of Mexico to the west and the rest of the Atlantic Ocean to the south and east, Florida offers a myriad of alluring beaches for vacationing lovers. Whether you prefer the Panhandle or the east coast Florida has enough beaches and scenery for all. Many couples enjoy relaxing on the white, sandy beaches while listening to the calls of the seagulls flying overhead or the soothing melody of the waves crashing gently to shore. Some of the most private beaches can be found in Navarre Beach or other remote areas.

The Panhandle extends the hospitality of friendly locals and the simple pleasures of small, family owned restaurants that provide an endless supply of seafood and spirits. If the sights and sounds of nightlife are what entice you then Miami is the place to find it. Hot spots like the Marlin Hotel or the Opium Garden are just a couple of trendy clubs that beckon discerning couples.

Everyone knows that Disney is the premier wedding and honeymoon getaway. Disney provides endless fun-filled, romantic packages for young and old alike. Whether a couple prefers an action packed vacation spent enjoying the many rides or shows at Universal Studios or just being pampered at one of the luxury spas Disney is prepared to cater to every whim. With its fantasy honeymoon packages and accommodating staff no couple will want to leave.

Not to exclude the couple who likes variety, Florida offers many other activities. The golf courses in Florida provide the perfect way to spend a day together. From the Diamond Back Golf Club just 30 minutes from Disney World to the brand new Grand Cypress, golfers at all levels will have a fabulous time together on the links. Top it off with a shopping excursion that will please both men and women alike. Florida shopping includes artsy-shopping villages found in Sea Side for the more affluent shopper. There couples will find one-of-a-kind treasures by local artisans. Fun beach shops in Fort Lauderdale sell cute shirts airbrushed with anything the honeymooning couple desires. If couples just want to feel at home many of the malls have been revived and provide fabulous deals on clothing and d?r.

If lying on the miles of white sandy beaches just isn’t enough then South Beach extends an exciting, unforgettable experience for couples. Enjoy surfing in the morning or playing volleyball in the sand in the afternoon then winding down with a cool drink under a palm tree. Many restaurants include convenient “beach bars” for adults who need to cool down or just unwind and relax. If that still isn’t enough many a Florida fisherman would be happy to escort any couple on a deep sea fishing expedition. Bring home that marlin as a honeymoon memento no one could forget! Whatever your tastes, Florida provides the perfect romantic getaway for young couples embarking on a beautiful journey together or mature couples reveling in the pleasure of a well deserved, unforgettable second honeymoon.

Orlando Villa Rentals: Enjoy a First Class Florida Vacation at an Affordable Price

Tuesday, July 28th, 2009
Mark Whichard asked:


If you are planning to spend a vacation or holiday in Orlando or at Disney World, then one of the first things you need to do is to figure out what kind of accommodations are best for you. Are you coming with your whole family or coming with a few friends? If so, then one of the best things you can do is to get an Orlando villa rental rather than reserving rooms in a hotel.

Renting a villa or vacation home has become a preference for savvy vacationers in Orlando due to several factors including convenience, luxury, location and above all economy.

The convenience factor is due to the fact that many of the villa rentals are located within minutes of Disney World. You will not have to spend much time in your car going to and from Disney World or other attractions. In fact, if you chose a villa in a resort community like Windsor Hills, you won’t have to drive at all.

Windsor Hills is a gated community located 1.5 from the gates of Disney World. The resort offers a shuttle bus service to Disney World, Sea World and Universal Studios. But that is not all you get in this community.

Each home and villa at Windsor Hills features a master suite with king or queen size bed, TV and a master bathroom with a garden tub and separate shower. All vacation homes and rental villas have a private screened swimming pool with spa and all townhomes have a small pool. Each has a fully equipped kitchen with breakfast area and formal dining area, TV, VCR or DVD player and a washer and dryer. Homes are available with game rooms that include billiards, table tennis and air hockey along with play stations for kids.

That is not all you get when you rent a villa in a community like Windsor Hills. The community also offers a variety of recreation and activities for all ages including a children’s playground, state-of-the-art fitness center, sand volleyball, basketball and tennis courts, 40-seat movie theatre, video arcade and billiards.

While you get all these community services similar to what you would get in a hotel, you also have the privacy of your own home or villa. You can have a barbeque outside your private pool at night. Put your kids to sleep in their own rooms and enjoy the comfort of a spacious villa.

It sounds ideal, and it is ideal especially when you consider the price. A four bedroom home or villa at Windsor Hills starts at $160 per night. Can you get four bedrooms, a private pool and all the amenities I have listed above for $160 per night in any hotel in Orlando? The answer is no, and that is why thousands of visitors have chosen to stay in Orlando villa rentals rather than hotels.

Take a look at the villas that are on offer on this website and make your reservation now. The best villas are usually rented months in advance and if you wait to the last moment you will miss out on great opportunities.

Tips For a Great Florida Vacation

Monday, July 20th, 2009
S.Palermo asked:


Florida is one of the most famous vacation spots in the U.S. It is a great melting pot where different races get together and party. From great beaches to awesome theme parks, Florida should be included on everyone’s must-visit list.

There are many ways to enjoy your Florida vacation, but you must plan carefully since Florida is a big state and there are lots of places to visit and have fun. If you are still in the planning process for your Florida vacation, here are some very helpful tips to guide you:

1. Determine the best time for you to visit

It really depends on the visitor. If great weather is your priority, you must schedule your vacation from October to April, when Florida is all dry and sunny, the perfect time for hitting the beaches. But you have to remember that hotels and other accommodation rates are at its highest during this peak season, so you have to be prepared to shell out more cash. If you plan to go to areas north of Lake Okeechobee, the fall and spring seasons is the best time to go. Winter is the best option for those who intend to stay in South Florida and the Keys.

Also, take note if your vacation time will fall on holidays, for hotel prices and crowds will be at premium. But if cash is not an issue for you, then holidays is a great time to see the fun and excitement of a Florida vacation. You can time your vacation during their local holidays: the NASCAR race in Daytona Beach, lobster season in the Keys and the seafood festival in Cedar Key. And of course, don’t forget the Spring Break, where practically everyone will be donning their bikinis and will party on the beach all day and night.

2. Where should you go?

Plan your itinerary as best as you can to make the most out of your Florida vacation. You should include the most popular tourist spots in the Sunshine State:

- state and national parks

- Disneyworld

- Florida Keys, Key West

- theme parks

- lots and lots of beaches

It depends on how much time you have. If you have only a week, then it’s best to stay in just one region, whether north, south, east or west.

3. What should you pack?

Lots and lots of swimsuits, especially if you’re staying near the beach. But remember that the weather in Florida can be quite unpredictable. Summers can be really scorching, and winters can also have daytime temperatures. Make sure to check weather reports regularly and bring light coats – cold fronts can come in your area anytime, so it’s better to be prepared. Otherwise, laid-back fashion is the best for your Florida vacation. You can find lots of people there in board shorts and skimpy tops, so your flip-flops and sneakers will do just fine.

4. Is there great Internet connection?

Since many people are already bringing their laptops with them even during their vacations, Internet connections are a primary concern. The best way to go about this is to call your hotel beforehand and inquire about their connection. Not all hotels have solid connection, and you should not just rely on what their brochures and online sites say; call them to know how high-speed the connection that you can expect is.

ThePrincess! asked:


I love this white handbag and want to get it, but it will snow here soon and I was wondering if black may be better? I’ve never been a fan of black handbags, there’s just something too dramatic about them for me.

Is it stupid to wear a white handbag while on vacation in Florida in February?
