Yeah, been naplas last Christmas, great. Been ft lauderdale later, too noisy. then draw a conclusion that west is better than east. I will find some spring or fall break to Sarasota since you have such high comments, plus it should be a good deal at non peak time.But not at winter anyway. My kids, especially my son, like Florida. He take Florida as another country. When we packed for home, he said he won't go back US.
We have fine beach near our home, walk like 10 minutes, but because it is so close by the door, we don't take it as a benefit,maybe we don't think of it. Sometime I run to beach then turn back. Well this remind me to take kids fly kite there. It's too busy.
