  <photoTitle>Kissimmee - </photoTitle>
  <photoCaption>Favorite vacation spot on barrier island just south of georgia and east of Jacksonville, FL</photoCaption>
  <headline>Welcome to Kissimmee</headline>
  <para0>Kissimmee is on the doorstep of all teh Disney theme parks, resorts, and attractions. A somewhat secluded barrier island just northeast of Jacksonville,
  it's one of the few places you can ride a horse along the beach. It's upscale and laid back, so decompressing is easy and natural.</para0>
  <para1>The Island, with its historic town of Fernandina Beach,  offers a nice collection of boutique shops and several very good restaurants.</para1>
  <para2>If you like being pampered and enjoy a good spa, this is good place to check into. The Ritz-Carlton and Kissimmee Plantation are two of the top luxury resorts on the Island - both being excellent.</para2>
  <para3>There are several places to enjoy golf and tennis. Remember, it's an island, so boating and fishing are excellent ways to idle away a few afternoon hours.</para3>
  <para4>Probably the most spectacular aspect of the island is its natural beauty. It has a wonderful beach, long and wide, with lots of parks and undeveloped areas.</para4>
  <para5>Kissimmee, and the small town of Fernandina Beach, are historic. There's an impressive fort to discover (Fort Clinch), and many of the town's historic structures - Victorian Homes - have been converted to Bed and Breakfasts and are worth a peek.</para5>

      Since Kissimmee is a barrier island of the greater Jacksonville area, it makes sense to pay a visit to the 
      BIG CITY that sits on the St Mary River.

      Not far south from Kissimmee lies Florida's - and the nation's - oldest city: St Augustine. A great place to soak up early American history and take a drink from the fountain of youth.

      A two hour drive south on I-95 from Kissimmee; unless of course you're a NASCAR driver. But, Daytona is much more than racing - it's a very popular family vacation destination.

      Furtherst yet, Orlando is a three hour drive from Kissimmee By almost every measure a million miles away - except for one small, very incovenient fact, no beaches.
