We're looking for a little place now on the ICW between St. Augustine
and Daytona, a place we can rent out to responsible vacationers, and use
ourselves when we have the time. Still some reasonable prices between
the cities.

I've done the Disney-Orlando/Tampa/St Pete's thing and have no great desire
to repeat. I would love to see the art deco area of Miami and drive all the
way south to the bitter end of the Keys.
First though...I have some sailing waiting for me in the BVI.

It's a trip worth taking. We always visit the "Arty Deco" area in Miami.
It's just a little south of Bal Harbour. Some wonderful architecture,
some great restaurants, South Beach, babes in barely there bikinis, but
lots of traffic. A great time to visit is around the time of the Miami
Boat Show, about the middle of February. And it is a pleasant and fun
drive to Key West if you have time to stop on the way for a night or
two. The weather in the Keys that time of year is wonderful, and great
for swimming, diving, snorkeling.
