Florida Vacation Packages Offer Cost-Savings Without Skimping
The Sunshine State is one of the world's biggest getaway
locations for a lot of reasons. Pristine beaches, excellent
food, outdoor adventures and world-class amusement parks combine
to make a Florida vacation one-of-a-kind. But for those who want
to enjoy it all and save a little money and perhaps planning
time, too, nothing compares to Florida vacation packages.
No matter the desired destination, Florida has a lot to see.
>From the historic roots of St. Augustine and the beach fun of
Fort Lauderdale to the high-class shopping of Coconut Grove and
the night life of Miami, there's so much to see and do, one trip
can't cover it all. Trying to plan the perfect trek can be
nearly impossible. But for those who take advantage of vacation
package offers, a lot of the "little details" that can bog down
vacation fun melt away.
Vacation packages can range from simple offers that combine
hotel accommodations and airfare to elaborate undertakings that
cover everything from meals and amusement park tickets to hotel
accommodations and even live entertainment. Tours are sometimes
even included or at least offered as optional buy ups along with
rental cars and more.
For those heading to Florida for vacation, the rental car is
almost a must. Unlike many other tourist areas, Florida doesn't
have a lot of public transportation. And even so, there's so
much to see and do, to not have a car could cut out some
fantastic and affordable side trips.
Here are some of the highlights of different parts of the
Sunshine State:
North Florida, Panhandle: The beaches of Destin are famous for
their pristine quality. This area is known for its laid-back
Florida style and warm Southern hospitality. Nearby visitors
will find the state capital of Tallahassee and even Jacksonville
within a fairly short driving distance. The great outdoors is
key here with fishing, swimming, sailing and more all on tap.
East Coast - The East Coast of Florida is famous for its surfing
beaches heralded for their Spring Break activity. From Fort
Lauderdale to Daytona, the swim and surf fun is incredible. Here
visitors will also find the ancient city of St. Augustine with
its fort, oldest schoolhouse and more.
South Florida - Miami, Coral Gables, the keys and beyond are all
major attractions here.
Central/West Florida - From Tampa and St. Petersburg to Orlando,
this is the amusement park corridor. Disney, Busch Gardens,
Universal, Sea World and Adventure Island are all found in this
part of the state as is great shopping and museum hopping in St.
Pete and Sarasota.
Outdoors types revel in Florida's many options. From hiking and
biking to hunting, fishing and camping, the state is jam packed
with outdoor areas to explore. The Everglades are spectacular as
are the wooded areas in the Ocala National Forest.
Seeing all Florida has to offer in a single trip is nearly
impossible, but well-created packages can go a long way toward
helping vacationers achieve their goals while taking the details
of planning off their shoulders.
