The first thing you will need to do is to determine exactly what type of vacation your family hopes to experience. Does your family like to go-go-go, or is a more relaxed pace preferable? Maybe a combination of the two would best suit everyone? Once you have set the tone, sit down and make that wish list and include absolutely everything you want to see and do during the time you’re in Florida. Then (and only then) you can begin to rough out an itinerary.
