Hi there. I am taking my wife for a once in a lifetime holiday to Florida. We fly in to Orlando with Virgin on New Year Day and will be stopping somewhere in New Port Richey/Hudson in a house to be allocated on arrival. We had a few queries about logistics but got a lot of help from Trip Advisors over on the Orlando Forum. It was suggested for things to do, that we tried this forum so here goes.
We are not in Florida for the benefit of the Disney Empire but because of the show we have heard that Mother nature pust on. From sunsets to manatees and The Everglades to the Keys.
We have looked at all the commercial sites and have some idea what to do and don't mind travelling or eeven an overnight stay in a motel if necessary.
I would like to know if there is any American grid iron football in the area in January and although we no nothing about it would loke to see a baseball game. Any ideas folks?
We would love a ride on an air boat but not just to go racing off but to have a long look at what is around us. Are there any good captains and places to go?
I was once in Kalimnos, the best sponge dives island in Greece a few years back, I was working there for a couple of weeks and my wife wasn't there... I brought her home a jar of Honey which turned out to be from Kos and I didn't buy her a natural sponge. This will be a good time to make up for it at Tarpon springs i understand. Is it worth the visit?
Sunsets make our hearts race and we get some good ones back at home from our own living room but everyone says the gulf coast is THE place for sunsets. Where locally will we see the best and maybe get a bite to eat in a casual atmosphere.
I am asking a lot I know but this holiday is special for us as it is to celebrate 25 years of wedded bliss and to acknowledge that in the same year we will both reach 50 years of age. Any help in making it special by your recommendations will be much appreciated.
