Miami Florida – There’s So Much To Do In The Area!

Published by

If you’re a racing fan you’ll know all about the many races that are featured in Florida. You’ve got Formula 1, Daytona 500, 24-Hours of Daytona, AMLS 12-Hours at Sebring and a couple of IndyCar races. The entire family might not enjoy racing, however you can definitely make a fantastic family vacation – regardless if it includes racing or not.

If you’ve never been to south Florida – particularly the Miami area, you’re really missing all the best parts. Who needs Disney when you’ve got real live dolphins and alligators, swimming, camping, snorkelling and many, many other tourist attractions to keep you and the family entertained.© 2013 ~ Iain & Gail Shankland / TravelBloggers.ca@gmail.com

Hi there, Gail here! Today’s topic is a little taboo, so Iain wanted to make sure you knew that it was his crazy wife writing and not him! I personally don’t think it’s a big deal, and I’m willing to bet you’ve been dying for us to post about it but were too afraid to ask. That’s okay, we get it, you’re shy. No worries, I’ve got you!
