So the hubby is 50 and we’d been planning a special break since March this year. Which up until four days before we we due to fly was going to be Egypt complete with pyramids, Nile cruise and all manner of ancient wonders.
However, sadly due to the rapidly deteriorating situation in the region, we took the difficult decision to change our plans – and what a complete 360 it was!
So instead of ancient culture, deserts and mummies, we headed to brash, bold and bonkers Florida instead.
So come with us as we take a 14 day fly drive whirlwind tour around the sunshine state!!
Flying into Orlando Melbourne airport we would head up the East coast to the Kennedy Space Centre to geek out on all things rocket and space related.
Then we took in the sights of the oldest city in the state – St Augustines, via the racing hotspot of Daytona Beach.
Then we crossed the state to the West Coast to explore the beautiful beaches and sea salt washed shores of Anne Marie Island, Sarasota, Fort Myers and other stunning spots.
After a healthy dose of vitamin sea we washed up in Everglade City for a tour of the spectacular Everglades before spending time exploring the Florida Keys.
We rounded it all off with four days in the neon chic metropolis of Miami.
So let’s buckle up for a wild ride!
