Orlando
For all the big kids and real kids out there, Orlando offers the perfect starting choice for this fly-drive. With the world famous Walt Disney World and Universal Studios lots you will absolutely have your hands-full of fantastic attractions. More than enough to handle, make sure you spend a few days here wisely.
Animal Kingdom, Epcot, waterparks and, of course, Magic Kingdom, one complex along would be enough. But wizarding with Harry Potter at Hogwart’s, saving the day with the Marvel superheroes and visiting the themed attractions of your favourite Hollywood blockbusters means there is never a dull moment!Gatorland, Legoland and SeaWorld all present viable alternatives to the more well-known facilities, but with no less substance.
Further afield is the Kennedy Space Centre Visitor Complex. Complete with a magnificent array of memorabilia, historic spacecrafts, exhibits and displays and a simulated ride into space. At nearly two million sq ft. the Florida Mall is huge, perhaps even requiring a whole day to fully scour, with souvenirs in abundance and the perfect chance to snafu a bargain.
Miami
Pass down through Palm Beach and Fort Lauderdale, hitting up any number from the Four Arts Gardens, Mar-A-Lago, the Flagler Museum, Big Kapok Tree, the Riverwalk Arts & Entertainment District and many more along the way. And then it’s the dynamic and diverse heights of Miami where the sights, sounds and cuisine are so varied, you won’t help but be spoilt for choice.

The Truman Annex or ‘Winter White House’ is another notable and to end your night, be sure to visit the famous Sloppy Joe’s Bar. Time it right, and you’ll be in town for one of several festivals throughout the year, each adding to the city’s charm.
Naples
Marco Island and the Ten Thousands Islands are worth a quick visit on your way back North, particularly for experienced kayakers or canioeists, as the Southern tips of the islands are prime water sports holiday locations. Then onto Naples, the self-titled ‘Golf Capital of the World’ with its more than 80 championship golf courses, allowing you to get more than a few rounds in.
Some of the cleanest, most well-preserved and immaculate beaches in the United States are here also, and the Naples Fishing pier is great for both angling and relaxing on.
