not very helpful
In this age of internet, one can get more info from internet than lonely planet about a place such like florida. (if you go to a foreign and strange place, LP may still be essential.)

Love It
We're in the middle of the big decision/action to move to Florida. Leaving family, friends and relocating a small custom sign business. It's very scarey but this book has pointed out how much we will enjoy the lifestyle. Pennsylvania winters are bruital, we love tropical living, eating and all that goes with it. Swimming, diving, biking, hiking, exploring, etc... Outdoor activities. We've been down several times and this book really hits it on the head.
