wel lbasically we will be landing at tampa and then I plan to drive the next day down to naples and then spending the fortnight travelling up the coast probably spend 2 or 3 days at a time at any place that takes our fancy. So far it looks like we will be stopping at sarasota, captiva, fort myers beach, st pete & probably clearwater, at least that is the plan but we also realise that we may stop anywhere that we like the look of.
so if you have any links then please let us know

Amazon emailed me today to say they cannot get hold of the Lanmark guide.

I bought the Chelle Koster Walton book Andrew - agree it is very comprehensive but I just wish the pictures had been in colour
