TRAVEL GUIDE: FLORIDA

When it comes to fun, Florida is one of the biggest crowd-pleasers. With a winning combination of year-round sunshine, exotic white sand beaches, the tropical Everglades, Disney resorts and theme parks, there's not much about Florida that doesn't rock. Relax on manicured golf courses or in luxurious spas, or enjoy a wide array of outdoor activities like water sports and fishing. And of course, the dining, nightlife and shopping scenes are enough to keep even the most finicky traveler entertained.
