When you think of Florida, what comes to mind? Sun, fun, and relaxation? Florida has it all, from alligators to the Everglades to the hot spots in Miami. Orlando, for example, is home to world-famous attractions such as Disney World, Universal Studios, and Sea World; it is also a mecca for shopping and entertainment.

Just a few minutes drive south of beautiful Orlando, you will find Kissimmee: the host city of this year’s 2010 SPBT Conference. Nestled in the heart of Kissimmee, the Gaylord Palms is an amazing resort, built in the fashion of the Spanish Renaissance, with plenty of amenities and on-site activities.

When you are ready to explore local eats, be sure to visit a few favorite dining spots, including:

• Houston’s Restaurant at 215 South Orlando Avenue (Fairbanks Avenue) in Winter Park
• Boston Lobster Feast - Florida Mall at 8204 Crystal Clear Lane in Orlando
• Joe’s Crab Shack at 12124 S. Apopka Vineland Road in Orlando
• Aashirwad Indian Cuisine at 5748 International Drive in Orlando
  

The average seasonal temperature in Kissimmee hovers between a balmy 70 to 90 degrees Fahrenheit, with a chance of rain (average rainfall for June is about 6 inches) so be sure to pack an umbrella!

Whatever your reasons for visiting the Sunshine State this June, we hope you have a safe journey!
