Upcoming Orlando visit

[CP30]

Hey all -

I am heading to Orlando next week for what else? a business meeting......for 3 days and nights.... help save me!
I am sure they will have all the "entertainment" arranged, but I need something more substantial - CP'S!!!
Are there any cp's to see near town or growers to visit? I will not have a car, but will have limited funds (and time) for a cab.

D. muscipula - did you find anything to do when you went last year?

No Oz, I cannot rent a car and drive up there to Carolina, but I will be on the S.C. coast in mid July - maybe we can hook up then.....

thanks for your support!
Steve

You can rent a car from Enterprise for ~$30/day and a cab ride will hit that price pretty quickly. When we're in FL in a few weeks, one of the planned stops is Highland Hammock State Park - http://www.floridastateparks.org/highlandshammock/ - which, according to Mapquest, is 86 miles south of Orlando. It's oak-palm forest trail and cypress swamp boardwalk are very cool. I don't know of any CPs being there (it was pretty parched when I was there last year) and there are a lot of other interesting places witthin that distance of Orlando, but that's one good option. Here's a guide to FL state parks - http://www.floridastateparks.org/images/default.cfm. FL's state parks blow away the parks of the states I've lived in.
