I lived in Florida for 12 years, but I have been gone for 10 years. If
you are planning on spending more time fishing and sunning than in
amusement parks, then I would suggest staying close to the beach and
driving to Orlando. Tampa / St. Petersburg is good for that. I do not
know if there is an international airport there though. If you are
going to spend more time in the amusement parks then I would fly into
Orlando and just drive to the ocean for a couple of days. I think the
beaches are nicer on the Gulf side.
On the Gulf side, Sanibel Island is a beautiful place to stay.
