Going to florida Sept 21 if all goes to plan for 17 nights.

Fancy doing first and last 3 days at universal and 11 days on the West Coast

Any good places to visit and places to stay.

Not sure if I fancy disney with all the restrictions at the mo

If by west coast you mean gulf coast rather than California, then personally, if looking for a relaxing beachy option I would look at Anna Maria Island.

Other gulf Islands are available 😁

A two for three park busch /SW/ aq ticket might be good too. Or the DC option which is even better value imho.

We've stayed twice in Naples, once at the Inn on Fifth, right in the heart of Naples, within walking distance to shops, restaurants, then our other visit was a villa in Lely, beautful villa, very luxurious, had to drive though. We also had a couple of nights in the Ritz Carlton in Sarasota. Lovely hotel, there's a pool on site but they also have a pool/spa on the beach and put on a free bus that runs back and forth all day.

I think when we go back next time we are going to do a week Anna Maria island then a week Naples or Sarasota.

From Naples you are right next to the Everglades, we've done a great trip in our car and viewed lots of gators in the wild, trip to the zoo, beach, some great malls near Naples, been to the Pro Bull Rodeo twice at the Hertz arena, visited the smallest post office in USA.

Anna Maria Island is lovely

We love Siesta Key. Great beach, village vibe & the Sunday Evening Drum Circle on the beach is terrific. Lots to do in the area. Canoeing with the alligators in Lake Myakka state park. Renting a boat on the Intracoastal (we’ve seen dolphins & manatees in here). Minor league baseball in Bradenton...
