Orlando, Florida -- Travelocity has named four of Florida’s major metropolitan areas as top Spring Break destinations for 2009, including South Florida, Orlando, Tampa Bay and Fort Myers.

Fort Lauderdale, Florida -- It's not called the "Venice of America" for nothing. Greater Fort Lauderdale is home to more than 300 miles of inland waterways, which stretch from the area's 23 miles of Blue Wave Beaches all the way to The Everglades and nearly everywhere in-between. Getting around on the waterways and finding fun adventures on and along the water is easy, even for you landlubbers out there. A new interactive waterways map including helpful details on waterfront hotels, restaurants and attractions in the area is now available online at www.sunny.org/gettingaround.
