Random Facts: discovered by Spanish explorer Ponce de Leon in 1513, most hurricane-prone state, operates under 2 time zones (Central for the panhandle and Eastern for the peninsula), tourism and the elderly drive the economy, and Miami serves as the headquarters of Latin American operations for more than 1400 multinational corporations
This is definitely a fun state to visit but a tough one to drive! I spent two weeks in Florida, one in September and one in March. Needless to say, I put a lot of miles on my rental car during those weeks, especially when I forgot my credit card in Tampa and was on my way to Orlando! Doubling back was not fun at all. During my trips I was able to visit over 15 states from St. Augustine to Miami. I look forward to returning this fall!
