So...since the Kansas winters suck, I was entertaining the idea of taking a trip to Florida during the end of December to enjoy some warmer weather for a week. The girl friend and I want to check out the Everglades but have no idea what else to check out. If there are things I should do around the area, and places to avoid, please chime in.
Thanks!
No offense, but FL is a BIG state. Do you have a particular are in mind? It's not just big, is crowded in ways that people from KS and MO have no clue about, unless you have been to L.A. NYC or Houston. Those are all bigger. I'm from Tampa and have been to KC, Wichita and St. Louis. We are bigger, much bigger!

You want to see alligators and take airboat rides?
Don't go to Orlando at night, there is safety in numbers though. Learn to surf pretty much anywhere along any coastline in FL. Rent some jet skis! Go do some deep sea fishing. Do the ormond loop! Its all I have around here for fun roads. Visit boardwalks and piers. Don't go to inlet harbor, they suck and you'll get food poisoning. Probably. Visit me at work and stay for a while.

South Beach is a must do !
Orlando is fine at night. Downtown Disney in Orlando is great day or night.
Don't forget, bring your cousin, if you want to get your sexy time on... or is that Texas? Whenever you go, make sure Randy has one of his car meets. I know he will let you drive one of his "extra" Miatas.
I'm glad that sold before I tried to scheme up a way to get it..
You can't miss with a tour of Kennedy Space Center. It won't be what you expect, part Florida, part High Tech. Orlando has Gatorland- one of the original attractions in the state. Of course there is Disney and all of its parks....you can waste as many days as you would like to there.There are nearby airboat rides. Warbird Adventures in Kissimmee will take you for a ride (or dual rides in two planes for guy and gal) in real, WW2 AT-6 trainers. If you have money to spare, Stallion 51 across the tarmac will do the same in real P-51 Mustangs..(!!!). Orlando has a lot of glitzy vacation type things if you feel the need. Aunt Catfish up by Ormond Beach and Dixie Crossroads in Titusville are eating joints not to be missed......AAA has Tour Books available for the state if you are a member...

Low key/ low bucks- parts waiting in the garage most of the time. Driven over 230,000 miles from California's twisties to Florida's humidity...
Great suggestions so far. I do understand FL is a big state, so I'm trying to figure out which parts will be good to visit. Anyone go to the St. Augustine area? Looked pretty cool in the pictures. Also is the Everglades worth it? I kind of want to do stuff I won't be able to in Kansas (middle of nowhere).
Thanks!!
Orlando has tons of fun things to do!! Fort Lauderdale Has tons of things to do! Miami has tons of fun things to do!
Tampa and Saint Petersburg have some nice beaches if you want to go to the beach.
My vote is for the above mentioned
St. Augustine is great for a short trip if you are a FL native, but you would run out of stuff to do FAST!
Everglades is worth it, so long as you know that it takes a while to get there and out. St. Aug is cool, but Phat is right, you do run to do things over there FAST. You really need to narrow down your choices, or your entire visit will be enjoyed thru a car window...
