Where is it?
Orlando is located in the south-east coast of the United States on a peninsula in the State of Florida. Known for its hot, sunny weather, alligators and swamps, we soon discovered it's a whole lot more. Orlando is a diverse destination that seems to offer something for everyone; definitely one place that you MUST get to, but make sure you've plenty of time to spare, cos you're gonna need it!

We've put together some info not found on other travel sites, from the local ecology, what the weather is 'really' like there and how to find a vegetable in Orlando!

What's to do there?
Basically, there's loads! In fact we couldn't come up with anywhere which has such a huge variety of experiences on offer. The list seems to be endless, but CLICK HERE to read more about some of the things we think are on the 'must do' list...



Where to stay?
Orlando is a city built on tourism, so it follows that there's so many hotels, motels, apartments and camping spaces that your brain will be left spinning.  Fear not...We did all the hard work for you! We reckon we've found two of the best places to stay in Orlando. We tested them both out and we're happy to share our findings with you. Both are priced at a low to medium budget range. Both are quite different....find out which one suits you best.  CLICK THE PICS to see why they impressed us SO much!

How to travel?
This all depends where you are in the world. There's a range of airlines who all claim to be the best,  have pretty airline chicks with uniforms by some famous designer, but at the end of the day you just  need a reasonably priced ticket, safety, comfort and well-trained crew. We generally fly Qantas and BA, but flying around the US saw us take to the skies with American Airlines. We were lucky enough to get to see behind the scenes of this great Airline.

Car hire isn't as easy in the US as elsewhere in the world. When they have an accident, they don't just hand it over to the insurance company - they sue for BIG dollars! So just make sure that your parents know that in the US - it's different! CLICK HERE for all the info ( & how to get your rents to upgrade to a sportscar (we did!).
