Just finished hour building myself in Florida based at Kissimmee. Saw a lot of florida - nivce place, hot but watch for hurricanes in july.

Cedar Key - a definate must

Lakeland - about 10mins from Winter Haven - nice restaurant

Venice - about 2hr round trip (C-152) - Sharkys restaurant, white beach - fly in over the sea on base to runway...(cannot remember)

Daytona - pretty busy (class C) airport - but a great view of the speedway and beaches)

Immokalee - real florida, lots of crop dusters with no radios - be careful

Orlando Country airport - very narrow runway - 20mins from W Haven

Ocala - 2hr rond trip from W. Haven - nice restaurant and famous for horse racing

Key West - beutiful place - my instructor said it was better than bahamas.

Well, I do have some old charts on florida north and south if you are interested (out of date feb 2002) just send me an email.
