About Florida
Other
Americans tend to flock to Florida on public holidays and hotels and motels fill quickly.
Prices also tend to double at these times so plan ahead.
USA Public Holidays:
We fell afoul of American holidays in 1997, I wanted to be there on July 4 Independence Day. I should have booked well in advance.
At one point we had to accept a cockroach infested Motel for a night, which was not pleasant.
