Summer Farewell
10 DAYS
Let's say you want the warmest weather but the fewest people. Hello, September! This trip
is good anytime, but Florida's north is particularly sweet as school starts and summer
fades.
Fly into
Jacksonville
, but don't hesitate: go straight to
Amelia Island
for several days
of romantic B&Bs, luscious food and pretty sand. The good vibes continue as you kayak
and explore the undeveloped beaches of
Talbot and Fort George Islands
, just south.
Then spend two to three days in
St Augustine
. America's oldest city preserves its herit-
age very well, with plenty of pirate tales enlivening the Spanish forts and basilicas.
When you've had enough of fine dining and costumed reenactors, spend a few days in
Daytona Beach
. High-octane thrills include the Speedway as well as the activity-filled
beach scene. Perhaps you will even spy nesting sea turtles.
At this point, you've filled a week, but a few more days means more kayaking in
Canaveral National Seashore
, and perhaps a day or two in the theme parks of
Orlando
.
Where are the kids when they're not in school? In line.
