You can go to Fairchild Tropical Botanic Garden (www.fairchildgarden.org), about 15 minutes from U.M.\n\n, or if you don't mind a little further (20 minute drive) There's Vizcaya.  Its a little pricey, but the best garden in South Florida.

Welcome to Florida - me and my husband just moved here last year from New York (we live in Boca Raton). Anyway, there is so much to do here. A fun beach to go to is Deefield Beach (not that far from you). They have some restaurants (restaurant called Bru's - sports bar restaurant, good food/people), shops, etc. Parking is difficult bu there is a parking garage you can use but you have to pay to park there - definitely worth it. They have a "swap shop" in Pompano (near the Turnpike). Good on a rainy day - they have stuff like jewelry, sunglasses, there's a food court. There is also a HUGE mall called the Sawgrass Mills - they have absolutely everything there - you need a whole day there. In Delray Beach they have a great bar/restaurant called Boston's on the Beach - and yes it's right on the beach. Food and the atmsophere are great. They have indoor/outdoor eating. It's a nice, layed back place. If you have kids you should update your question because I have 2 and know a million places for them to go.

The best area in Florida is anyplace the majority of boomers don't want to be, but which still suits you.  Central Florida, small town away from the beach might be good.\n\nKeep socking that money in the 401k so it grows tax free.  A lot of people think the real estate boom in Fla. can't last.

I love the clear water spring-fed Ichetucknee River near where I grew up in Fla. I'd like to scuba and swim in the Great Barrier Reef off Austrailia, though. That would be awesome.

Gatorland is great. Kennedy Space Center is near by. Sea World is also a lot of fun. There is lots of shopping in the area as well as dining. You could also do putt-putt or go someplace like Wonderworks or the Hardrock valut. Downtown Disney and City walk are also great.\n\nHope this helps

Koh Toa, Thailand.......the only thing that spoils it, is the amount of divers there, but its trully stunning....the island is full of coconut trees, white powdery sand, clear water and cheap bungalows....i've been there FIVE times and would highly recommend it!!

Great decision!\n\nThere are many places to get certified in San Francisco, but I favor Tom Yang at California Dive Center in San Bruno.\n\nSincere and dedicated, Tom makes diving enjoyable.  He pays attention to his students, and makes sure that you are safe and having a good time.  Very patient.  Tom gets a lot of recommendations, a significant portion of his class is referrals.\n\nWhen we moved back to the Bay Area, I called three instructors and decided that Tom was the best for us.  My recommendation would be to do the same.  Get at least two more recommmendations and talk to each of them.\n\nDiving is a lot of fun, and your dive instruction is an important part.  There are a lot of instructors, each with his/her unique style.  Having an instructor that you get along with and has a teaching style that you like will be very helpful.  Everyone learns differently, so teaching style and personality of the instructor is important.\n\nEnjoy!

The beaches in Ft Lauderdale.  Key West is the best and most fun place I have been in Florida.  Miami is great for a more cosmopolitian feel.  Orlando is tourist gone wild.

If you expect to have fun, you will.  If you are sure that you'll be bored, that will happen.  There's a lot to do in Florida, but it depends on where you go and what you like to do.  If you're going to the Orlando area, of course there are all of the theme parks like Disney, Epcot and Seaworld.  Busch Gardens is in the Tampa area.  Key West is a fun place to go, and our beaches on the West Coast are great.  If you want to have a good time, Florida is as good a place as any to do it.  It was 80 here today.  How was it where you are?

there are a lot of great diving around the world. To say which is best is very hard to answer. The best way to answer this will be to what kind of diving your looking to do. Then pick a place that meets your kind of diving. Enjoy
