Fly Drive Florida Holiday Orlando and Madeira Beach:
  |
| Summary of a Fly Drive Holiday: The first week in Orlando and the second week in St. Petersburg Florida in 2001. |
| Time of Year | Last Two Weeks in July |
| Travel Agent | Choice Air Holidays (Teletext) |
| Travel Operator | Monarch |
| Landing Airport | Orlando Sanford Airport - SFB |
| Car Hire Company | Dollar |
| Type of Car | Dodge Caravan Sport. 7 people, people carrier surprisingly comfortable and lots of room. Very easy to drive. |
| Accommodation | Villa. For the first week. This one was at Indian Point just south of Highway 192. For location this area is perfect. However the villa turned out to be a horrendous nightmare see HORROR STORY
Week 2 was spent in a condo on the Isla Del Sol which is an island community just south of St Petes Beach (about 5 Minutes). For me if one word could sum up this place its PERFECTION. Its positioned on a golf course and the condo's are suprisingly roomy, its biggest advantage is it is very close to Fort DeSoto my own little piece of paradise. One word of caution though --- take lots of Mosquito repellant you WILL need it. |
| Holiday Comments | Week 1 was a right off, see HORROR STORY. Week 2 kind of made up for it although the pressures of the previous week really put a strain on it. In future I think we will probably spend all our time at St Petes or Clearwater and just drive to the parks in Orlando when needed. |
