Tour details
| Day | Activity of the day | Day remarks | Overnight stay | Miles |
|---|---|---|---|---|
Day 1 | From Nuremberg to Paris | The journey itself was great and without special incidents, until...... well until the baggage carousel. Because one of our suitcases was missing. We didn't know that we would see him again not until eight days later. | Travelodge Flrorida City *** | xxx Meilen |
Day 2 | Despite the fact that we have checked out some highlights in Miami today, the day was relaxed. Even the search for a parking space in Miami Beach was not as bad as we feared. | Travelodge Florida City **** | xxx Meilen | |
Day 3 | We drove from Florida City to Key West and back today. At $250 upwards, the accommodations in Key West were not worth it to us. Nevertheless, we had enough time to see everything we wanted to see in Key West. | Travelodge Florida City **** | xxx Meilen | |
Day 4 | Today we spend most of the day waiting for our suitcase. Without success. Afterwards there was just enough time to drive from Florida City to Englewood before the day was over. | Ferienhaus in Englewood **** | xxx Meilen | |

Day 12 | Miraculously, the botanical garden suffered virtually no damage from Ian. The plants outside also appear to be in very good condition. | Ferienhaus in Englewood **** | xxx Meilen | |
Day 13 | In Fort Myers, you can clearly see the effects of Ian. Even on the grounds of the Winter Homes, many plants have been ripped up. Nevertheless, the houses and the surrounding area survived the storm quite well. Already three weeks after the storm the gates for tourists could be opened again. | Ferienhaus in Englewood **** | xxx Meilen | |
Day 14 | To see a live launch of a rocket we got up at 2:30am and drove three hours to the Kennedy Space Center. Unfortunately, exactly for the launch fog moved into the bay so we could see exactly 0.0 of the launch. Nevertheless, it was a great experience and of course the Kennedy Space Center is worth a visit. | Ferienhaus in Englewood **** | xxx Meilen | |
Day 15 | Relaxing in the house | Ferienhaus in Englewood **** | xxx Meilen | |

Day 17 | Stroll through the small historic part of the city. | Fereinhaus in Englewood **** | xxx Meilen | |
Day 18 | Quite spontaneously we get tickets for the tram tour in Shark Valley. The tour is quite nice, unfortunately there were no alligators to see. | _ | xxx Meilen |
