My initial idea was to check out the day trip beaches...
Clearwater or Daytona to see what'll be closest to TV but with all the other suggestions given here, I'm rethinking that idea.
I've always wanted to visit Sanibel and Marco Island...so this may be a good time for us to do that. I'm also liking the recommendation of St. Pete! I'll browse Trip Advisor for more info on resorts so thanks for directing me there.
BTW...Freeda, safe travels today to Kentucky. I enjoyed your detailed post about Daytona Beach in the thread "Best Beaches 2hrs. away". If we don't get there this time, we'll definately make it a point to go there next time! And of course, Cocoa Beach when we can view a shuttle launch!
Thanks again for all the suggestions. I gotta get busy and make some reservations somewhere!
