I realize the primary topic of my blog is solo travel because I’m a single gal and end up traveling solo because if I waited around for someone to do what I want to do, I wouldn’t travel anywhere. This week I’m going on a little girlfriends getaway within the Sunshine State. A friend from high school who’s never been to Florida will be visiting. I asked her what she wanted to do and got the response, “I don’t care, everything’s new.”
*sigh*
I’ve been guessing what someone who’s never been to the state would want to do. She’s easy-going but we have different interests and ideas about vacations. Having worked for the state tourism office I realize this should be easy but my first source was the book 1,000 Places to See in the U.S.A. & Canada Before You Die
by Patricia Schultz. Hmm, where does she recommend? Since it’s not possible to experience everything the great state of Florida offers in four days, I narrowed it down to beaches, a water activity, seafood dining, and Disney World.
I’ve scheduled a mix of things I’ve done before along with things I want to do because this is MY vacation, too.
Stay tuned!
