Default Holidaying in USA....

Normally every year or every other year i go to Florida for a fortnight with the missus doing the usual Disney stuff... This year we didnt go so am due to go next year! Thing is I want to go to New York as well and also have a bit of a beachy type break all in one!

How would I go about, or whats the best way to go about booking up flights etc to say New York for 3 days first, then down to Orlando for a week and finally over to the Gulf Coast for 4 days? Do I book the flights/accommodation seperately or are there packages out there that cater for this??

Any pointers would be

Cheers
Chris

Rhys flew up to NY from Florida I think, perhaps chat with him?

Certainly over here, its better to book flights locally than back in the UK. Some very cheap ones if you know where to look online here that teh tour operators in the UK won't push.

Orlando to St. Petersburg is NOT 5 hours!!! 1.5 maybe 2 hours max. In 5 hours you could drive from Tampa (which is above St. Pete's) down to Miami!

If you're in the driving mood maybe find out if there's any space flights taking off from the Kennedy Space center?

Oh blimey didnt realise it was that close! I've been over to St Petersburg once when i went with mum and dad a fair few years back but it seemed like ages driving!

I saw a rocket quite a while back go up from the Kennedy Space Center Fookin awesome site but i cant see the missus wanting to drive over that way to see it!!!!
