From the side where the hotel is located, depending on which road you take it is a 40-minute to 1 drive. A toll road will get you to Cocoa Beach within 40-45 minutes (home of the one and only Ron Jons Surf Shop!!). And, I-4 will get you to the famous Spring Break location, Daytona Beach, in about an hour. I wouldn't say the Atlantic coast is "warm" per se. However, it is probably warmer than you might be used to up there :). I tried calling my mom (who lives near the water) for a temp but she can't find it! However, the beach is still nice this time of year and if you go to Daytona Beach there are several other things you can do while you are there besides just being on the beach. The temp of the water, completely depends on the temp that day. Our temps are flucuating like you wouldn't believe right now so I don't know for sure what it'll be like on the coast. If you guys opt to drive a little bit more south, maybe another 1/2 hour or so, it gets warmer :). ***************** Alligator Warning ***************** The Florida State Department of Fish and Wildlife is advising hikers, hunters, fishers, and golfers to take extra precautions and keep alert for alligators while in Osceola, Polk, Brevard and Orange Counties. They advise people to wear noise-producing devices such as little bells on their clothing to alert but not startle the alligators unexpectedly. They also advise the carrying of pepper spray in case of an encounter with an alligator. It is also a good idea to watch for fresh signs of alligator activity. People should recognize the difference between small young alligator and large adult alligator droppings. Young alligator droppings are smaller and contain fish bones and possibly bird feathers. Adult alligators droppings have little bells in them and smell like pepper spray. :-) -- Michael Smith, TeraTech Inc VB, CF , SQL, Math programming 12221 Parklawn Dr Ste 200, Rockville MD 20852-1711 USA Voice: +1-301-881-1440 x110, 800-447-9120 Fax:301-881-3586 Web: http://www.teratech.com/sig/ Email: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] ICQ: 66057682 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Structure your ColdFusion code with Fusebox.
