- Trips to Florida don't have to include the kids.florida sky image by jimcox40 from Fotolia.com
Vacations in Florida often include kids, and when they do, most activities are geared to the interests of the little ones. Family vacations can be hectic and noisy, though fun. But when adults want their getaway to be a time for socializing with other adults without any distractions, they seek vacations that cater specifically to them. Whether a venue that expressly forbids children or a venue that is simply not of interest to them, vacations to Florida can be an adult-only paradise. - Enjoy diving, fishing, snorkeling, shopping and sun worshiping on your vacation to the Florida Keys. Begin with a reservation at Simonton Court in the heart of Key West, which has an adults-only policy. Simonton Court is a compound of manor house, original mansion, cottages, standard inn rooms and townhouses. Lush green footpaths wind through the property, creating a true getaway for adults. Concierge Services for this resort will point you to the many activities ongoing in Key West. Sail on a schooner, take a tour of the ghosts of Key West or visit a day spa. Dine in one of Key West's fine restaurants, such as the Grand Café Key West, where you can choose between dishes like blackened mahi mahi served with yellow rice and black beans, or sea scallops seared in the pan and served with key lime beurre blanc, along with a truffled mushroom couscous. Duvall Street is just around the corner from the Simonton properties, offering you plenty of grown-up nightlife along this lively strip.
