For many, it is a tropical paradise with turquoise and emerald waters that wash on sandy white Florida beaches shaded by palm trees that sway in the warm sea breeze. For others, it is a land of fascinating Florida theme parks and Florida attractions. Yet others are drawn to the exciting cultural diversity of its modern metropolitan cities. Still others seek Florida for its natural beauty - its varied terrain of hardwood, pine and cypress forests, swamps, rivers, springs and mangrove waterways where within live hundreds of species of fish, birds, unique plants and interesting animals.
If you think that isn't enough reasons to travel to sunny Florida, and if you can't swap stories about the lines at Disney World, the mosquitoes in the Everglades, the cold spring water at Ichetucknee, or the superiority of the dazzling white sand Florida beaches of the Tampa Bay area and Florida Panhandle, well, I'm sorry my friend, but you're just out of the loop.
With 16 million citizens and 65,758 square miles of land, Florida is as large and as varied as a medium-sized country, and as such can't be seen in a weekend. It has been said that to truly understand a culture (and Florida has several), one must spend months immersed in it. With Florida this is a dangerous proposition. Many people who come to visit end up staying for the
rest of their lives.
Florida, of course, is known for many things: the Everglades; the sun, sand, and surf that make up 663 miles of Florida beaches; the Florida Keys; South Beach in Miami, the trendiest place in the world at the moment; and, oh yes, Disney World, in Orlando. But there is much more...
