According to recent surveys, over 60 million tourists visit the "Sunshine State" annually. Although Florida's well-oiled tourism machine can provide tons of brochures to help the visitor select what to do, the amount of material can be overwhelming. In Traveling Florida, experienced travel writers Vernon and Cathy Summerlin offer assistance to the befuddled traveler.In 35 chapters, the Summerlins take the visitor on either a loop tour of several towns and sites or a whirl around one particularly interesting destination. Written in a personal style that shows the authors actually visited the places they write about, these tours include a short history of the area, descriptions of things that are worth seeing, information about festivals and special events, and suggestions for lodging, dining, entertainment, and outdoor activities. Many of these recommended stops are places known only to the locals and are therefore not crowded with tourists.
