When is the best time to go in terms of climate and cost? We were looking at August/early September-ish, mainly because the kids go back to school in September.
Any Key to avoid / icky / super windy / crime / etc.?
Best places in the Keys/tip of Florida where the water is, to quote Mr. GKL, "like how it looks in the Bahamas"? :supergrin:
Upon completing the sale of our house in Idaho (fingers crossed that it doesn't fall through), we're going to pay off a bunch of debt and take our first proper vacation in six years. Given that we were under some incredibly lean times less than two years ago, this vacation is a whole lot more meaningful to us than just "getting away" for ten days or so. Without sounding too woo, it represents a welcome change in circumstances.
A few notes - we're looking a rent a house, not a condo or townhome or hotel, mainly because we have four kids. We're also looking at beachfront, possibly with a dock, as we have jetskis. We're driving from Virginia, not flying (yeah, long drive, we're used to it).
We're definitely not nightlife, out to eat, party, dressy dinner, need-to-be-around-others types. The kids are also reasonably self-contained, and all they need is water to swim in and they're golden for days.
GamerGirl has given me a busload of information :wavey: but I always enjoy having additional data points from as broad a base as possible.
