Any suggestions for things to do farther afield?

[tony64]

We are off for two weeks in nov/dec and are looking to venture a bit farther this trip, we have visited the Space Centre, Busch Garden and a couple of beaches on both coasts. I was wondering if anyone has any other suggestions / reccomendations on places we can go? We are thinking of the Dali Museum in Tampa and having a look around St Augustine. Has anyone visited anywhere that they would like reccommend?


Cheers

Tony

Hi Tony, hows it going?

Don't know how far you want to travel but last August we had a fantastic day up in Georgia. Went to Savannah, Tybee Island and Fort Pulaski.
Did it in the day but would suggest a nights stay in Savannah, its a long way in the day. Set off at about 6am got back about 2am next morning.
Its about 5 hours each way but a great place.

Hi Wayne & Obi

Didn't think about going as far as Savannah, I'll have a word with DW.
Anyone visited Mount dora?
Wekiwa Springs looks like a good option Obi.

Thanks for the quick responses.

Wekiwa Springs looks really nice - Obi, do you know if they had anywhere to hire bikes there?
