We stayed at the Marriot vacation club place on Ft Lauderdale -- it was really nice, but I'd definitely pick the Marco Island Marriot over that. Haven't been there, but family members have been, and said it's great.

Have you done the Kennedy Space Center? When we lived in Florida, it was by far my youngest child's favorite place. He would choose it over Disney or Universal every time. There isn't much around it, but it's a great attraction! Especially if you schedule a trip during a launch.

I like the Marriott at Hollywood - on the beach, has nice pool and on the boardwalk

we loved turnberry isle in Miami. great pools and restaurants and spread out resort. shuttle to beach club which was great and the kids loved the shuttle. there's also a shuttle to the mall where there are good restaurants.

Where would you go? I am thinking Saturday - Tuesday. Kids are ages 10 and 12.

I've been looking at Marco Island, Key Biscayne (Ritz), and Ft. Lauderdale areas. We've already been to Amelia Island Ritz on points!

Thanks!
