Florida Keys (Trip 14)JUPITERIMAGES / GETTY IMAGES ©
LIFE IS RICH – MAKE THAT INDULGENT – IN THE SOUTHERN STATES. The food, music, culture, history, all of it is robust, spiced to the hilt, and exhilaratingly full of life.
On these trips, we’ll show you the romantic jazz club of your dreams, country calm and city chic. We’ll show you sun-kissed beaches and a highway floating above a perfect blue ocean.
Between the Carolinas and the Gulf of Mexico, a different America awaits, warmed by the sultry winds that blow up from the Caribbean. From the mighty Mississippi River to the Florida Keys, from the Blues Highway to Cajun country, from the Smoky Mountains to the art-deco glam of Miami, you’ll find that life moves to its own rhythm in the South.
