Hi,
I agree with all of cat3c's ideas,i was based in venice so no sharky's well it is very good,but if u fancy a bit of night flying get up there after 6pm (it's only about 30-40 mins from naples) and try the 44th air sq.Fantastic food and good svc and it is actually at the airport.For experience tampa is good fun but they sometimes have trouble slotting u in during the day.For the "everglades fag packet" experience also see pahokee.Nothing really there but very narrow runway which is a challenge with x-winds blowing straight off lake okechobee,and it has a vor. Key west is fun (as long as u remember to look for the weather balloon) to the east.Beware if u are planning on going by yourself,taxis from the airport to the town cost a fortune,and make sure u don't land at the nearby navy air station!
