St. Augustine is great!

[wastoute]

Treasure Island. The best seashells I have ever seen on a beach.

Saint Augustine is very nice. It is the oldest continuous city in the United States. There are buildings in the old town dating back to the Spanish colonial era including a Vauban style fortress. There are gorgeous hotels, two of them converted to other uses, from the last 19th century built by Henry Flagler who is the father of Florida tourism. The center of town has a Spanish style central square and park.

Also just outside old St. Augustine is the Nombre de Dios Spanish mission marking the place where the Spanish landed.

We always used A1A, it’s slow but always meant Florida
to us.

I would avoid “The Pulse Nightclub” while in Orlando. Just sayin. ;-)

[bigbob]

There are several neat warbird museums if you’re into that - see the FL section: http://www.warbirdalley.com/museum.htm

It’s worth a drive down A1A through Miami Beach just to see ‘the way it was’. Enjoy.

Believe it or not, I have lived in north central Florida just west of St. Augustine for 8 years and I have never been there.

Too much work on the cattle farm. Maybe someday.

I hear the old fort is an interesting visit. The oldest school house in the nation is there too.

A co-worker whose daughter attended Flagler College in St. Augustine says a Spanish restaurant called Columbia is the best in town. The family and I have eaten very good Cuban sandwiches at La Herencia Café.

I think you can get a lifetime pass to national parks, if you are over a certain age.

Don’t drive the interstate...Use highway A1A for your trip from Daytona to St Augustine...Lot of stuff to see and do along there...

[Fhios]

With the hurricane just passing through Daytona I couldn’t recommend it. But I do love the hard pack beaches there and the small poker casino with paramutual wagering on dogs and TVG broadcasts on horses.

St. Augustine Historical Sites

This should provide plenty of suggestions for St. Augustine. 8>)

Hurry before the sea level rises from global warming and inundates Florida. You’ve only got about 11 years left!

Jacksonville Beach down to St. Augustine is all the further you need to go.
