Joe, the best part of Orlando is the downtown area. The nightlife is very good, if you are into it. Along Colonial drive just east of downtown is a shopping center were all the gear-heads hang out and show off their machines on Friday and Saturday nights. This is just east of Bumby, north of executive airport. Another idea? Get on Colonial drive [Hwy 50], and drive out to the dragstrip in Bithlo for test and tune on Saturday afternoons.

Other than that, the usual theme parks in the southwest corner of the city. I lived there for 8 years, moved south in 2005. The "Fantasy of Flight" is at Kissimmee airport, and it is kind of small, but if you go in there and start speaking the language known as "aviation" you're sure to get a personal tour, if not wind up flying something really old!

Have fun, and dress warm-
