Irrepressible and occasionally outlandish, Florida has transformed itself from a backward cousin state to an international blockbuster, celebrated every hour, on the hour in Orlando?s many theme parks. Explore the backwaters of the Everglades on a fanboat; cruise the long sandy islands of the Keys like Hemmingway; sip a cocktail at West Palm Beach?s elegant Atlantic-facing Breakers hotel; see a mission to the moon take flight from Kennedy Space Center; and catch a football game at Miami?s Dolphins Stadium.
