Have you done a search on here as there have been plenty of intrepid adventurers before you doing similar trips. www.airnav.com is full of useful info. Don't forget to visit Sun & Fun - 4-10 (I think) April. Its a busy arrival procedure, but don't be put off, I flew in there for the first time by mistake (despite a VFR flightplan and full FSS briefing, they missed the part about the HUGE big airshow at the airport I was planning to land at for fuel ). I would recommend downloading a copy of the notams & arrival procedures in advance tho' - it makes things much easier

How about making a list of aviation museums that you can visit from the airports? I've heard Cedar Key is very pretty. Key West requires 24 hours minimum recovery time between checking out the bars and returning to the air, just as a precaution

Have fun
