I love Florida. It is one of my absolute most favorite places to go in the world. Especially when I want to get away from this terrible northern east coast weather.
When I go to Florida, I usually stay at Pembroke Pines, FL. Coming from Virginia it is great to experience the great weather, people, and entertainment.
I stay with a friend when I am staying there in his single family house. It has a beautiful pond in the back overlooking the neighborhood. Great location, and great place.
I usually go to Coconut Grove in Key West. Talk about great service.
Overall, Florida is a great state and is one of a kind.
