Great info everyone, thanks! We reserved a convertible using points and we have a parking spot at the condo, if it sits that's ok. We intend to drive north a bit one day just to see what's out there, by the way what's to see an hour or so north? last time I was on A1A I was 7 and probably sleeping with my pillow in the big back window of a 1970 olive green plymouth <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/Grin.gif" alt="" />

As far as the beach...Smathers sounds perfect, not looking for white powdery sand, just a not so crowded place to sit in the sun.

JPH you are wise, VT offspring will remain close <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/Grin.gif" alt="" /> Spring Break seems early this year, but 99.9% of the hotel/motel/villas etc that we searched are booked. Sounds crowded but WARM! <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/toast.gif" alt="" />
