Florida has become more than a little divisive in the travel space these days. Then again, people seem to be getting farther off-center every day. If you have deep-seated convictions one way or another, we won't change your mind. However, Florida is more than just the Sunshine State and House Mouse; it's the most affordable tropical vacation Americans can take - period. Between cheap flights and road trips, it's pretty easy for most people to get to Florida. Once they arrive, they can find anything they're looking for, from luxury vacations in cosmopolitan destinations to confirmation bias that Florida Man exists or everybody is crazy in the "Gunshine State." Personally, we think Florida has the best beaches, best springs, and best diving on the mainland, and if you've never been kissed by a manatee, you don't know what you're missing.
