Ok..this is just my opinion..
I went there in the 80's and was back there this year for a month looking after a young relative who is at school there. ( east coast, between miami and Fort Laudadale).
It was 29 days too long...I find Florida boring with no interest at all..even the Keys which is over priced and tacky. In all my years of travelling Florida is way at the bottom of my list..there is simply nothing there. Believe me i have looked.
I have been to other places in the states touring around and its been great.
Thats just me...but see for yourself...

There are some nice places like Everglades, keys (really expensive), Kennedy space centre.
If you like to see huge variation of motorcycles, go to Barber Vintage Museum https://www.barbermuseum.org. Amazing place!

Membership - help keep us going!
Horizons Unlimited is not a big multi-national company, just two people who love motorcycle travel and have grown what started as a hobby in 1997 into a full time job (usually 8-10 hours per day and 7 days a week) and a labour of love. To keep it going and a roof over our heads, we run events all over the world with the help of volunteers; we sell inspirational and informative DVDs; we have a few selected advertisers; and we make a small amount from memberships.
You don't have to be a Member to come to an HU meeting, access the website, or ask questions on the HUBB. What you get for your membership contribution is our sincere gratitude, good karma and knowing that you're helping to keep the motorcycle travel dream alive. Contributing Members and Gold Members do get additional features on the HUBB. Here's a list of all the Member benefits on the HUBB.
