You won't be seeing mine anytime soon. I have no desire to visit a place where it is ok to kill folks just for being black.

Some retirement fun?

Personally, I love Disney World, I am not staying away. Also my kid will be playing in Miami and Tallahassee every other year.

Virginia Tech too.

Florida has always been a racist shithole. Read some Hemingway. Leave it to the rednecks and the loco wingnut Cubano's, they deserve each other.

That was my big surprise when I moved to Florida. My visits previously had all been to the Miami area. The further you get from there, the worse it gets.

Our trip to Florida was a spur of the moment decision based upon some good travel deals at the time. We were able to fly one-way to Fort Lauderdale for $57 and then pick up a one-way full size rental car for $19 a day (a special deal the rental car companies have concocted to help return the cars north for the Florida off-season). We drove up the coast for 10 days visiting Melbourne, St. Augustine, Savannah, Charleston, Wilmington and the Outer Banks.

If you go to Blacksburg, drop me a line and I'll give you some tips about food, music, sights, etc.

Nice trip! Don't even tell us about the food.
