Apart from the cruise are there any must see's in Florida? We're going out for 2 weeks for a friends wedding and as the wife's 5 months Cheggers there's no point going to some of the theme parks if she can't ride the coasters etc, I might be able to get some automotive porn in!!!!

I don't think I'll be bringing a stroker kit back in my hand luggage like some people though :shock: :D

I have been up to Daytona and that is quite good.
I have not been to Cocoa beach - you wife may appreciate that as I think it is quiet and very pretty.

Cocoa beach is nice and only about an hour from Kissimmee, Ron Jons is massive . Garlits Museum is a definite, if your into Drag Racing, its kid in a sweet shop time ,or if its classics ,theres the other hall on the same site with Don Garlits collection. The man himself is sometimes knocking about ,he was the time i were there. The rodeo in Kissimmee on a Friday night is worth a visit, bull riding etc. Its down a road by Kissimmee airport. Orlando Speed world is also nearby, look on there site to see if theres any strip action while your there. Wish i was going :( .

Been all round Miami and Miami beach a few times and had no scares,stayed there twice too :?
Fort Lauderdale is a sight to see (very wealthy area)last time I was there, there was an international boat show on,held on the river that flows inland,even if boats are not your bag,the sights there were amazing.
Also for a cool and chilled out place,Naples is a must(while you are over the Clearwater area).From there whizz across the Everglades and do Miami/Homestead before heading down the keys,(make sure you go all the way though)Key West was one of my best nights out EVER!!!!!
