Key West to Miami (or vice versa) -- Despite the fact that the only way to get to Key West via car is a one-lane road, it's a beautiful 3 1/2 hour drive that's typically only marred by traffic on weekends and holidays. Depending on your level of interest, 3 days in Key West is more than enough. The combo of the laid-back Conch Republic and cosmopolitan-chic Miami is best described as a little bit country and a little bit rock 'n' roll.

Miami and the Everglades -- From high-tech, high-style, and high-energy Miami back to the basics of the natural resources of the Florida Everglades, this combo is a reality check, one that many people find necessary to fully appreciate the fact that Florida is not all prefab pink flamingoes and neon.

South Beach and Fort Lauderdale -- If beachcombing and club hopping are on your list of things to do, the best cocktail that's guaranteed to both shake and stir is 2 days on South Beach -- day and night -- and 2 more in Fort Lauderdale. While South Beach is the kind of place where you can stay up all night and sleep it off on the beach the next day, Fort Lauderdale exudes a calmer, yet no less lively, kind of beached excitement.

Boca Raton and Palm Beach -- The country-club lifestyle is alive and well in these parts of South Florida , where days are spent on the golf course or shopping at Mizner Park or Worth Avenue, and evenings are spent in an elegant restaurant, all before the clock strikes midnight.

Jupiter and Hutchinson Island -- After you pass Palm Beach 's stately mansions and Bentleys, you will enter a no-flash zone, one in which Old Florida is alive and well, regardless of whether the money's new, old, or barely there. Here you'll find relaxing waterfront restaurants, boating, and friendly folks who don't take the term "gone fishin'" lightly.
