The Trip to Florida
                                  - December 22 - 27, 1999

    Florida is really a wonderful place for the winter time, and it also has lots of attractions. In Orlando, you will enjoy lots of funs at Disney World, Universal Studios, and Sea World. In Miami and other coast cities, you will enjoy the beaches and sea. Miami is the most beautiful city I've ever seen in US, clean and rich. Lots of Benzs, BMWs, Porches run or park on the streets. Not like New York, dirty and crowd. Miami will be the few cities I wish to revisit if possible. It's a nice place for relax.

    OK, let's start our trip. Before we go, several things need to be prepared: sunglasses (lots of sunshines), comfortable shoes (you may enjoy walking around), and quarters. Quarter is really an odd thing in US, used everywhere, so you'd better take lots of there with you. If you wish to go by air, you may start to book your tickets few months before your trip. Typically, two months ahead will be enough. Notice to avoid flying during the holiday season, and few days before or after will be fine.

    We visited St. Augustine at first. It's a pretty old city located at east Florida, less than 2 hrs' driving for Orlando or Gainesville (University of Florida).
