If you live in the UK you are probably experiencing cold, dark winter days right now. As we are now in Winter the days get shorter and people often become lethargic and feel down. The simple answer to this is to get away to somewhere where the sun is still shining, it's still warm and the days are longer!
A winter sunshine break is the ideal tonic to getting a boost ready for the cold winter ahead and what better place to do this than Florida in the USA.
Florida is known as the Sunshine State, and is said to only see a few days of rain every year. Naturally, you can't guarantee sunshine but there is a much higher chance of being able to lie out on the beach in Florida in November than there is in the UK.
Aside from the weather there is plenty to do in Florida and this could have a bearing on where you stay (unless you fancy a road trip).
In Orlando you have access to the world famous Disney Resorts, perfect if you are travelling with young children (or adults who are still kids at heart!). There is plenty to keep the whole family entertained with shows and theme park attractions.
If you fancy something a little more trendy then Miami is the place to be. Set on the south Florida coast line Miami offers visitors golden sands, perfect blue seas and year round temperatures. There is also a vibrant night life and plenty of quality restaurants where you can spend your evenings relaxing.
If you venture even further south you will come across the Florida Keys. They Keys are a group of islands that offer tropical conditions and are often known as the American Caribbean. The islands span for around 110 miles and are connected by a number of bridges and causeways. They really are a sight to be seen!
Diving is also very popular in The Keys, mainly due to the hundreds of species of tropical fish in the reefs.
So all in all, Florida has plenty to whet the appetite and provides visitors and holidaymakers with the ideal location for all year round sunshine and entertainment!
