Vacation to Daytona next year?!?

My mom is thinking about taking us to a vacation somewhere this year. The only problem is that she doesn't know where to go :( I was thinking about going to Daytona next year around the time of the show there, BUT, my mom isn't going to go to just see a bunch of snakes. :( Is there any other attractions? in Daytona that are worth going to? If not, we might go to the Tinley show in Chicago, because a relative lives there.

Well, Datyona has great beaches and of course a lot of race car stuff. Kennedy Space Center is just a short drive away...and DisneyWorld is about 90 minutes away. And I'm sure some of the locals can give a much longer list of cool stuff.

Awesome...I to would choose the snakes...I like them all, but the albino has my heart!!!! :sunny:

It looks like she wants to go! Although if I get a job I have to pay for some stupid car rental! Why can't we just walk?!?! :P

She was wondering if we get some sort of discount at the local hotel for being there for the show? I've ehard of this somewhere and was wondering the same thing too.

Call the hotels I guess....I to might want to just drive over and stay at a hotel who knows...to far away to tell just yet.

Talk to Jamie about hotels, he knows how to pick them ... plus he's got some friends that work in the Burger King down there that will probably be able to help for a dime.

Yes, several hotels in the area offer discounts for that weekend, if you're attending the show. I stayed at the Mayan Inn about 3 blocks down the beach from the show and it was fine. Room rate was about 1/2 what it would normally be.

I think your best option is Kissimmee/Orlando. You've got tampa 45 minutes Southwest, you've got quite a few different theme parks in Orlando, you've got Daytona 45 minutes Northeast, and as mentioned, you've got Kennedy space center about 45 minutes directly East right on Cocoa beach.

Busch Gardens has a lot of great coasters, and they have the safari ride which is supposed to be pretty awesome...

If you're right in the center of it all, then you can experience everything without having to go way out of the way

Day one: Tampa/Busch Gardens
Day two and three: Orlando..Sea World, Disney World, Old Town, etc.
Day four: Daytona...there's always the beach that your family an go to in case they don't want to look at snakes...Make sure Day 4 is that day when a majority of us BP.netters will be there so we can meet you!

Here's a map of everything...I've circled the hot spots that are extreme tourist destinations:

And when should we book our tickets??!?!?

But if you knew how to get in touch with the racoon lady and all of her wrinkly hotness, now that would be worth something. ;)

But I digress ... Daytona ROCKS! ... 07 will be awesome ... I think that we'll have the 8 ball dinner at lollipops this year!!! :love:
