How much of Florida have you visited? About This Page:

[Nala]

When I was a kid in the 70's, we spent many a vacation in FL. At that time, WDW was one park and three resorts (counting FW) so on two week trips we went to WDW for a few day and then we visited other parts of the state.

I have gone from Panama City Beach to the Keys and almost everywhere in between. We always managed to take in all the tourist things along the way like Wikki Watchi, Silver Springs and even a few gator farms.

These days, you couldn't pry me away from WDW.

Growing up in Alabama we pretty much always ended up in Florida for vacations!! I've been to Miami, the Keys, Cocoa Beach, Daytona Beach, New Smyrna, Tarpon Springs, WinterHaven, Tallahassee, Orlando, Pensacola, Panama City and Panama City Beach,Sunnyside, Seaside, Destin, Fort Walton, Okaloosa Island, Appalachicola, Bristol, Blountstown, Chipley and probably more places with College Friends but my favorites are Orlando and Destin!!!

[RobDVC]

I've visited Clearwater, Tampa, Daytona Beach and ORLANDO (of course).
I've driven on I95 from the Georgia border to the Beeline (528), The Beeline from I95 to Orlando and I4 from Daytona Beach across to Tampa.

As a kid, my parents took me to Daytona, St Augustine and Cape Kennedy
Went to Tampa/St Pete to visit my brother when he was stationed there
He now lives in the panhandle, so we've covered from Pensacola to Panama City, with lots of time in Ft Walton/Mary Esther
2005 we did a road trip to Cape Kennedy from Orlando
Last year DH had a conference in Marco Island, so we did MI, Naples & Ft Myers between our weekends at WDW

I have been to Destin, Ft Walton, Sandestin, Panama City, and we stayed in Tallahassee in December on our way to WDW.

While I was growing up my grandparents lived in Naples and we used to drive down for two weeks every Easter, so I have driven through most of the state. Places I have actually stopped and visited are:

Naples/Marco Island/Ft. Myers/Ft. Myers Beach/Sanibel south to Everglades City and east as far as Ochopee
Tallahassee when my Aunt went to Florida State University there
Tampa/St. Pete area when my Aunt lived there, including Busch Gardens
Downtown Orlando/Winter Park visiting same Aunt (she moved a lot! )
Kissimmee after Grandpa divorced and remarried
Cape Canaveral area and KSC
Key West (we flew down from Naples, so I'd like to drive down someday and check out all the little Keys along the way)

I've also been to Miami and West Palm Beach if you count time spent at airports.

I haven't spent much time on the East Coast, and suppose I ought to go see St. Augustine and Daytona, but the only other place I end up besides WDW is Naples these days. Someday...

Tampa, Ft. Lauderdale, St. Petersburg, Sarasota, Fort Meyers, and Sanibel. We vacationed in Florida every year (with at least a few days at Disney) when I was a kid.

Travel through the panhandle and then south to Leesburg(father-in-law is there) then from there to Tampa, Tampa to Orlando, Orlando to Disney Wonder. Choir tour even went to Hollywood, Florida years ago. Been to Daytona, Jacksonville, Homassosa(sp?) to see the manatees! Crystal river, too. Here and there.

[Joanne929]

I've been to Orlando and Key West (we drove from WDW to Key West on our honeymoon).

[koalamom]

Pensacola when I was age 2 for a family reunion.

Orlando - and all the major towns along I10 and I75 if you count driving through.

Cheryl thank you for posting this question. I was born in Ft. Lauderdale, and grew up mainly amongst Deerfield Beach, Boynton Beach, Boca Raton, Wellington, and North Palm Beach(West Palm Beach Area), however have visited Orlando several times, Cape Canaveral, Jacksonville, Miami/South Beach, Daytona Beach, Ft. Myers, Sanabel Island, Marco Island, Tampa, St. Petersburg, Amelia Island (which is beautiful), and San Fernadina Beach, however there is still plenty of Florida that I have never been to still. I have yet to go to the Keys, Tallahassee (where I wanted to go to college), and plenty more. I'd love to see if there are any other Born and Raised Floridians who have still not traveled through more of Florida.

I see you're in Jacksonville, have you been to Amelia Island, since it's a short drive away from you? We took a family trip there a couple of years ago and I loved it. I hope to go back someday!
