My first time to USA, we stayed for 3 weeks. The first 2 weeks were spent going round Disney World and Universal Studios. Which was absolutely amazing. If you ever want to go to Orlando and want a 2 centre stay including visiting Disney World and Universal, then I would definitly recommend going for 3 weeks. You need 2 weeks just going round ALL the parks. Each day we did a park a day. That is on the first day we went to Animal Kingdom Disney World, 2nd dayMagic Kingdom, etc. We also went to Seaworld and Busch gardens, in the first 2 weeks. All travel in the first week was by bus, though it was unfortunate that we had to pay (rather a lot!!!) every time we went to Disney World. The Bus to Universal was free, and we only used it twice!!! You can get around by car, unless your an extremely confident driver, or are used to driving in different countries then I wouldnt recommend it. It was bad enough trying to cross 8 lanes of traffic on foot!!!!!! We of course had our free transfer bus to st pete's, but unfortunately we werent allowed to check in till after 4 and we arrived there at 12!! We were told that this was supposed to be getting changed. And it didnt put too much of a dampner on things as we were able to leave our lugguage in reception.
Our 3rd week was left relaxing on the BAUTIFUL beach of St Pete's. The hotel we stayed in was lovely, and we spent most of our time, in fact all of our time sunbathing by the pool. With the occasional walk along the beach. There were plenty of places to eat, though some not as close as they were on International drive. We did find one, straight opposite our hotel, which had a gorgeous menu (Fried ham and cheese sarnies,mmmm gorgeous, very sickly!) Deserts well....they are definitly made to share!!! The sunsets were beautiful, and as it went down we were able to sit at the bar with our drinks and watch it go down, and the Dolphins play. I had a swim in the sea, which was boiling hot! After only being to Tenerife before and experiencing the slight chill of the sea there, the warmth of St pete's was unbelievable. It was just like getting into a bath!!! Except for the salt water!!!! I never encountered any rays, Luckily!!LOL! There was plenty on offer from our tour operaters (virgin), but we never took this up. On the beach there was always daily activities being offered on the beach, with blokes coming round asking if people wanted to go paragliding. Like I say we didnt really do a lot on the third week. St Pete's is a beautiful place, quite romantic, but also very good for family's or groups.
We definitly deserved and needed the weeks rest after our hectic 2 weeks in Orlando All in all our 3 week holiday in Florida was magical!Unforgetable.

A lot more detail on this would be more than helpful to anyone who is considering going to St. Petersburg. Initially I thought you St Petersburg was referring to the one in Russia, but I soon discovered you were actually talking about the U.S of A. Space this review out a little and by giving some details about the area (i.e. not just places of interest) will gain higher reads. Also you could mention travelling around and the best ways etc. N
